Qualified 4th.
Got to 2nd on the first lap but I couldn’t see the corners and I fell back to 6th.
A few laps later Kevin went off ahead of me so I got into 3rd I think.
At some time y2j was behind me but I saw him spin off behind before the fast right corner.
Pitted on lap 17 and came out just behind Maddog. Managed to knock him off the track when he got a bit out of shape on the fast right and got a penalty.
The rest of the race was trying to stay 10s ahead of Kevin which looked like it was going to be very close but he lost 15s somehow so finished 3rd quite comfortably.

Havent done one of these in a while so its about time…
quali 2nd..Congrats to Kevin for pole, I apologise if there was any contact at turn 1, there wasn’t from my screen but it seemed like I might of knocked you wide from your movements you made post the potential lag contact….
less than 2 seconds seperated me and jonny in the first 17 laps It was pretty intense and jonny certainly wasnt giving me any breathing room. I then entered the pits from in front and made the disastrous decision to put full wets on…complete mistake, as for some reason I thought thats what we were currently running on..the outlap on the full wets and then the pit for fresh inters cost me about 32 seconds and from then on I was just driving to the line…..
Would have been a much better race without that mistake but despite that Jonny was very quick so it would have been difficult to beat him anyway..

Well, first pole for 10 or 12 races, I think.

@lemon I can’t remember any contact at turn 1. ;)
Going in to the hairpin on the first lap, I knew I broke to late so I decided to throttle it because I saw a gap between Lemon and Johnny, I hope I didn’t take anyone out there, if so, I do apologise.

It took me 6 or 7 laps to be able to set consistent times, the brake balance was completely out of order, no matter what I did in those laps, the rear kept pushing, which is why I probably bumped into @maddogmolloy a couple of times, and a battle with Lt.Alfred which was quite a hard fight.^^

I pulled away from Lt. Alfred easily after I managed to pass him, I guess it wasn’t his day in the rain.

@ms20 I lost 15 sec. because I pitted twice, on lap 13 and on lap 32.

@Powderfinger yes that first hairpin scared the life out of me lol.

Race was fun. Me and Herbie were fairly equal throughout, which was odd given I had done about four corners of practice and was quite a bit slower in the dry. The level of grip seemed to perfectly match the inters, to such an extent that it often felt like I was on options. Whatever tune I was running was spot on as well. Think that was Lemon’s lol.

The hairpin on the first lap was a bit of a mess, as most will have already known. Having watched Kevin fly past through the gap having braked too late, I was nudged by someone else and dropped to sixth. I was quite stunned to have recovered back to second and in the dirty air of Lemon within three or four laps.

Only had one other ‘moment’. Came round that right-hander before starting the final sector around lap 25 or so, clipped the kerb and slightly veered right towards the wall, but was able to control the spin. By then anyway, Herbie had cocked up his pitstop.

F1 at the minute is a game that when I look at it on the shelf, I can never be bothered to put it in the tray. But when I do it’s always good fun. Looking forward to next week.

@MadDogMolloy

Hey Kyle, sorry for the AWAL last week. I’m still in the process of moving house and getting an internet connection set-up. Been letting the team down. Happy for a reserve driver to take my place until mid-Feb?

@lemon @infernojim @ljkobrien @kvothe @mrgrieves, @McWoblin, @powderfinger, @strunk27 @ms20 @Sparky2315 @jonny705 @dazzaarcher @cscottyf195 @dazza1782 @mat-k @i300rn-5urv1v0r @roblo97 @zsmokey

I’ve updated the championship standings to include last week’s race result. Dropped scores have been taken into account. The link is below:

http://f1fanatic.wikia.com/wiki/F1F_Xbox_360_World_Championship_-_Season_3

If there are any errors, let me know and I can amend :-)

@lemon @powderfinger @ljkobrien @mrgrieves @infernojim @dazzaarcher take advance of the drop score rule as their previous race result was among their lowest of the season.

Hungary tomorrow – if you cant make it, let me know so a reserve driver can take your place. @mcwoblin thanks for letting me know – hope you can come back soon!

Video from my race in Germany below.

Crazy start where I miss the carnage. Good fight with @powderfinger and @ljkobrien but mess up with spins in the final 3rd of the race. Worth a look!

strunk27 said 4 months ago:

I Won’t be able to make it as well :(

ms20 said 4 months ago:

Had a random disconnect (even though I could still hear the cars going round and I didn’t get a message saying I’d signed out). Even more annoying because it looked like a might have a chance at a win or a 2nd place.

#
ms20 said 4 months ago:

Qualified 2nd. I went past the line exactly on 0:00, but crashed in the final sector on a much better lap.
Knocked off the track on the first corner (and got a penalty for it). In the next couple of laps I got back up to 5th. Then from people going off got to 3rd at some point ( I saw Kevin facing the wrong way in the 2nd to last corner. Maddog having a fight with Lemon cost Lemon a lot of time and I sneaked in front then pitted after one or two laps in the lead. Disconnected exiting the pits.

mrgrieves said 4 months ago:

Qualifying was poor got 9th. Made a reasonable start and went side by side with @maddogmolloy into turn 1 we avoided the first turn 1 carnage.

Ended up in 3rd while till on lap 3 or 4 i think i was tagged going into the final sector which threw me down to 7th. Was passed quickly by the flying McLarens and then settle into a race on my own till i span by myself at the chicane. Really stupid mistake which combined with the other spin cost me a chance of a top 4 maybe a top 3 had things gone really well. Into the final stint and i was chasing @LtAlfred and after a few laps of passing each other i tagged him into turn 1and deservedly got a 10 sec penalty. Settle in 1-2 secs behind him hoping his tyres would go and halfway through the last lap they did and i was through but could only get the gap up to 5 secs but to be fair for pushing him off i didn’t deserve the position.

5th in the end acceptable after loosing all the time with 2 offs

Powderfinger said 4 months ago:

Qualifying turned out be better than I expected, on my fastest lap I think I could have taken third or second, but I crashed just after I had passed the timing line for sector 2.

The car felt horrible, if teamradio were implemented in the game I would have been complaining about understeer just like Jenson Button does. :D

I had a fairly good start, going into turn 1 however someone (I think it was Odin) forgot to brake. I was handed a penalty because I took @Lemon and @ms20 out due to the person crashing into me.
I then had to catch up to @ljkobrien the first time I got close enough, I spun and I hadn’t even opened my DRS. LOL.
The following laps I had @jonny705 behind me but he spun and I was back in no man’s land for a while.
I caught up to @ljkobrien again, well actually I got a bit to close, as he spun on worn tires and we got tangled. The situation was hilarious, well at least for me. As I had just about reversed to get out of the position I was stuck in, he reversed back into me which got me stuck again.
I pitted a lap later, due to the pits being blocked by @ljkobrien, probably enjoying the time after beating up his teammate on track. :D

After my stop I was closing down on @ljkobrien, he didn’t fight me and let me pass on the main straight. 5 laps later cruising in P4, I lost connection which was weird because I didn’t disconnect from xBox Live.

The sprint races were fun again^^.
@ljkobrien you have to stop braking early if I’m behind you, you’ll just end up in the gravel trap. :p

@MadDogMolloy Why don’t you upload your video as a single file, it should be possible for you by now.
