Good win Carsten and congrats to Arron on the championship!
Great to finish the season with a green race.
Honestly though I'm glad it's over. I had a terrible season and hope to make amends next season!

I found the setup really fun to drive. You really had to hang on to it through 3-4 in the second part of a run! I also noticed a bit of the new aero changes. Once when I was alongside Roland and another time when I got to Maik's rear, both times they got loose.
Really pleased with how the season went! Shame I can't say the same about Class B
I think it might be fixed
I should be able to make it.
Really sorry Marvin A., no idea what I was doing there. Just wasn't focussing.
The race was great. I didn't really feel like doing it and then went with no destination. Just swim along. That came out P4 in the end was very gratifying. Glaub has to go to the races like this more often.
Had clean and nice fights. The longruns were great too. Was able to manage my tires well.
I just don't know why you found the setup tight? I was always loose at the exit and had to be very careful with the gas. Believe it was the driving style. Setup was really good for the truck!
Yeah I wouldn't have said it was overly tight. I was shifting and I think you were too, but others weren't. Perhaps that helped loosen it up?
That marked my 100th race in VO! Well chuffed to be able to celebrate it with a win
In the first stint it was clear that Roland had the superior pace. I was confused by the attempt to make it a one stopped, that strategy was never on the cards, even with the early caution. Given that, I thought I had it in the bag until the late cautions. Had a good battle with Carsten over a number of laps and was finally able to get my nose ahead.
Terrible race from me. Just didn't feel comfortable with the brakes, no matter what I did with the brake bias.
Sorry to Thomas, Carsten, Tobias and anyone else I hit. Poor driving from me.
Martinsville is an odd track for me. I'm never quite sure how I will perform there. This time the setup seemed to suit me well and I was pleased with my long run pace. The first caution worked out well as I had been following Roland for a while and we had eventually caught the back of the field. This held us up and Maik was starting to claw back the gap. The second long run I also managed to build a gap to Nigel and I thought that would be it, then came the final cautions. Almost threw it away at the end, but I think Nigel went easy on me
Thanks to the lapped cars for staying high and giving me room. It's much appreciated
Gabriel No. I swear that I was 46 for a split second and it gave me the black flag.
Damn. Ruined my own race by speed during the first pitstop. Shame as I felt that I had decent long run pace and it would have been interesting who came out on top between Arron Nigel and I. Still winless in Class B feelsbadman.
I lightly touched the wall. my rear spoiler was crooked. so I couldn't keep up with your speed
Ah ok, I hadn't noticed that. Still I prefer the sound of my version of events
That was a tough race. With the latest draft model it's just impossible to get away from anyone. Still it did provide some good battle with Frank, Kevin Maik and Daniel.
Finally got a tire strategy call right and came out just behind Maik after the last pitstop. A lap fresher tires proved to be enough and I managed to break the draft.
Kevin Adam I'm sorry the 3 wide turned out the way it did. Looking at the replay, there was no way that you could have known we were three.
Alles anzeigenQuali verhaut weil ich zu spät gestartet bin und dadurch nur eine Runde gefahren hab.
Aber so oder so erstmal nur mitrollen wollen, Sprit beobachten und Teammates suchen. Erster Stop ging super, konnte einige Plätze gutmachen und war dann in den Top 10 unterwegs. Wieder gleiches Spiel, Teammates suchen und absprechen, wieder gut gelaufen und der 2. Stop war sogar noch besser als der erste, konnte dadurch in die Top 5 vorstoßen.
Hab dann mal einen Run auf der Outside genutzt um ganz nach vorne zu kommen und ein paar Leadlaps gesammelt. Wurde dann aber wieder überholt und habe mich dann wieder darauf konzentriert das Team zusammenzufinden. Funktionierte perfekt und wir konnten einen Block auf der Outside bilden.
Als dann Ian / Nigel ganz aussen versuchten nach vorne zu kommen wollten wir mitziehen um an Marius vorbeizukommen. Dabei mach ich dann den idiotischen Fehler und kratze kurz an der Mauer, sofort natürlich Speedverlust und Sven hat keine Chance auszuweichen.
Sorry nochmal an alle die ich damit aus dem Rennen genommen hab, könnte mir heut noch immer in den Arsch beissen wegen dem Fehler.
Wären in einer super Ausgangslage gewesen als Team, Schade um diese große Chance.
We (Micha, Sven & I) saw you coming and wanted to get by #48 on the outside, so we absolutley wanted to benefit from your run.
You guys wanted to get in front, and so did we. I made the silly mistake with touching the wall and causing the wreck, and I'm deeply sorry for everyone whom race I ruined with it, but sorry not sorry for trying to get in front
If you wanted to get by the #48 and the 3 of you were working together then why didn't you just do it earlier, instead of blocking the run of Nigel and I. Three cars trying to coordinate at switch to the high line when two other cars are coming up behind you seems to me like a very risky move.
Micha Fair enough. I did my best to stay as close to the wall as possible, so was a little surprised is all.
I can't understand the intention of people jumping up in front of Nigel and I. Surely nobody thought that it would benefit them. The only thing it was going to do (and did) was cause chaos. We would only have been two cars trying to make it on the top. Most likely the middle would still have held the advantage if you all had just stayed there! Felt like games were being played.
Micha I'm assuming the side swipe when you lapped me wasn't intentional, or have I done something to upset you?
Good win Roland. Nothing I could do against those 4 fresh feelgoods
I was late getting onto the server which meant I got less practice than I would have liked. Didn't do any long run practice and focused on the short run with the hope of qualifying near the front. Managed to get pole and control the pace from there. At Dover I tried to save a set of tires for the end and it didn't work out. Nigel tried the same last night and I thought it might work out for him, but ultimately it proved to be the wrong call.
Had a good battle with chogger during the last restarts. Sorry for the contact into turn 1, looks like I moved up slightly preparing to enter the turn. I massively over drove turn 3 and got really tight. At that moment I thought I'd given away the win, but I managed to somehow hold on. Overall a very enjoyable race.
In this case it will be canceled without replacement. Unfortunately we don't have a place in the schedule. And we'd rather spend Christmas with the family.
I'd rather be racing
Hopefully a little later ?
