    Sorry I wasn’t there either Jamie, I was really tired and just wanted some practice.

    @Sirspuddington – Unfortunately, I didn’t see that :P but if you need any more practice, then I’m free for most of today, and need someone, since my team mate is looking increasingly unlikely to get any practice in ;) (*Cough* @Bradley13 *Cough* :P)

    @Alfie – No worries :) Was merely testing to see how my race pace fares against my competitors :P

    I imagine that there is about 7 tops for this race… In which case… GO FOR THE PODIUM @tayzz94 !!!

    Quali: 9th
    Race: 10th
    Overall pretty rubbish race for me, I was gifted with a very quick setup, however the setup used had very little rear grip, this plagued me into the pits about 10 times with broken front wings, overall I lost a good 4-5 mins in the pits. At the start of the race what I saw was quite a lot of spinning and contact, after turn 4 abbmacher spun me into the wall which broke his front wing and damaged mine, after that I was gaining places through other cars being in the pits or on worn tyres. Around lap 10 ish I moved over off the track to let a lapping Red Bull through, I am not going to lie, I will take full responsibility for the spin after I ran out of run off and went on the grass which caused me to go back on the track and tapping the Red Bull, I am very sorry, after that I was just putting in laps, around lap 20 I found a good chunk of pace and pulled 15 seconds out of Tea in 2 laps, this was really disappointing for me as I think it showed what could have been a good race for me if only I hadn’t needed to pit so many times. This was made worse when I saw I had the 5th or 6th fastest lap beating few cars who actually beat me in the race.
    DOD: SirSpuddington In my opinion he had a very good race after qualifying from the back!

    @olliekart
    There were 12 (:
    Qualified: 3rd
    Finished: 9th

    Pretty suprising Qualifying, I was expecting to be at the bottom really but I put in a genuinely good lap and was pleased to only be behind Moss and Ahmed? I think (:

    Approaching T1 on lap 1, I was hit from behind and spun off, last place already haha, no worries whoever it was though as my connection has been bad recently -.-
    I can’t remember much but I had a puncture which was from the first corner I think. Last place for ages until a couple of people disconnected and something happened to Sozavele.
    Then KERS failed -.-
    Some time nearer the end I could see Moss coming up to lap me, which probably was what made me lose concentration as he was so fast :L but yeah I spun slightly and hit the barrier and as should happen, I ghosted, but while trying to recover from my spin for some reason I un-ghosted or whatever you want to call it and Moss had nowhere to go :/ he lost his front wing I think and it could have ruined his race, it didn’t because he still won .. but nonetheless I’m very sorry Moss :(
    Then only a couple of laps later I spun somewhere else in front of a Lotus, I’m not sure which one but I think it made him go off the track :( apologies :(
    It’s worth mentioning that Sozavele was very fair when it came to being lapped, very grateful there (:
    All in all, a very poor race but encouraging qualifying

    12 people makes it all the worse that I missed it.

  • Profile picture of Téa Téa said 4 months, 2 weeks ago:

    @olliekart yeah lots of bad luck but I don’t like Hungary so I’m just looking forward to the next one (:

  • Profile picture of Alfie Alfie said 4 months, 2 weeks ago:

    This is two seasons in a row that I’ve missed Hungary, I hope it doesn’t become a thing with me.

    Qualifying: 10th I thought i would do a late run to allow my tyres to go further in the race but couldnt string together a decent lap
    Race: 5th, at T1 i just saw a big impact but too much debris to see who. Nice and smooth, KERS down to T2 and up into 4th, chasing someone in a merc cant remember the name. He spun at T8/9 and i was lifted into 3rd, best start possible for me. Uneventful really, till Jamie moved into 4th i knew i was in trouble. He caught me in like 3 laps and had DRS 2 laps in a row, 2nd lap he passed me and i was planning to use the switchback and catch him out downhill but i misjudged everything and tapped his right-rear (@jamiefranklinf1 i really am sooo sorry for that) and so i was 3rd again with asanator hunting me, took him a few laps but he passed me with DRS. I tried the switchback but he must’ve known this as all i met with my swerve was his sidepod (sorry if i slowed you) i followed him well till i had a moment at the chicane, then jamie was right behind me so at T8/9 i slowed down to let him through. Was lapping well-ish, then lap 20 into 4th thanks to a pitstop, 21 into 3rd, i meant to pit on lap 22, but missed the pit lane, if it tried to go in i wouldv’e hit the wall and ended my race so i stayed out and the tyres were still pretty good to drive on but i needed the time options gets you. Pitted on lap 23 and into 5th, 30 secs ahead of 6th. Lapped sozavele a few more times (@formula-1 well done for how you were about it, very respectable, and thanks for the compliment :D made my day) anyway, i knew that I just had to stay within range of jamie and this asanator because they were squabbling, taking corners wheel to wheel and it allowed me to catch up to about 10 seconds until asanator had a moment, gap down to 5 secs, but he pulled it out to like 10 secs again cos i had a spin at T11 which lost me 5 seconds. It probably also cost me 4th place. Last 3 laps, cos my tyres were like 2 or 3 laps fresher than asanator’s, i was catching him pretty fast. However, on lap 34 with gap at about 3.5-4 seconds, I locked my brakes at the penultimate corner, and had to let moss lap me at the final turn. A solid race and i enjoyed it, bring on moaco (if there is a free spot) :P
