Oh... So fuel burning is a thing, I always figured waiting until the last minute to top the quali timesheets was nothing more than cool kid etiquette.

Duly noted

Burn fuel not cigarettes

Got a black flag from someone that got a pit penalty for pitting second time around under closed pits then decided to drive slowly after leaving the pits so they could serve it as the race went green. Not very happy as it cost me 3 laps between waiting for them to pass on 1 lap to green then having to serve the penalty.

Qualy DQ'd for speeding in pit lane and not noticing it because iRacing screwed up my UI somehow.

Got nailed in the wreck at the end of the first run trying to be patient as the tyres came in. Race effectively over. Jake got damaged enough to kill his speed on the restart wreck a few laps later. Points are points so we chatted shit on Discord whilst the laps ticked down.

Loved being able to run high and low to keep the car balanced. Was running well saving tyres behind a big bubble of about 8 cars first long run. Decided to short stop to pass them in the pits then realised it's been that long since I raced here I couldn't remember if you had to pit off the back stretch or not.

Once I saw other cars come in I tried to follow suit but came in too hot and had to do an extra lap loosing a fair bit of time. Still really enjoying being back in VO after the break from iRacing.

Came for wheatfields, found desert, cacti and a line backer to guide me through last lap chaos.

Was having fun until I set off the trend of putting the front of the car into turn 1 wall.

Quote from Misan

Reifen sparen = gute Idee

Keine Reifen beim Caution Stopp nehmen weil sicherlich noch ein paar Cautions kommen = schlechte Idee

I'm with you on that. I made it worse by messing up both stops so I was at the back on the first restart and completely forgot where my box was on the second stop. It's all good, even had some fun with Daniel near the end.

Full length races with only extra enough tyres to get to the end on green full fuel runs would be my vote. I'd love it but there'd be about 5 people turning up each week.

The current balance is spot on RE strategy requirement v participation IMO

I don't watch NASCAR live anymore since they brought in Stages. The way NASCAR are going they'll have 3 standalone sprint races each night with fully reversed grids just to make it exciting for the average 'Murican.

Sorry I couldn't help more Yves. The engine was slightly down on power after 8mins on pit lane. I was just hoping there would be more crashes and cars dropping out before the end. Once we were in a 4 there was enough to stay on the back bumper of the 3rd car just not enough to run as a pair unfortunately.

I have seen the incident that I forgot. I fully own the mistake.

I will enjoy my 2 race vacation from C Class.

Sorry again to all involved.

Question: is it possible to race other series in the meantime if I am not registered for them?

Love the honesty and attitude towards the league.

Ban is only for the C Class. Attempting to register for the other series in the same way you did for C Class will give you the answer RE registering.

Had a tap when checking up into 3 that wouldn't have done anything last time I was on but it pushed onto the apron. It wouldn't normally be an issue but it lead to the larger check-up that caught Carsten out. No fault or blame around the incident, 100% a racing deal and just a comment on what you guys are saying.

Great to be back. Enjoyed the Daytona lottery.

Messed up a bit in pit on the 1st? stop due to 2 years out of the sim and this being the first one back. Pitting with a full pack is about the only thing you can't really practice before jumping in a race. Sorry to whoever I made contact with.

Cheers Frank. The numbers have just become available thanks.

With the registration period to guarantee keeping you r number now being closed, will the numbers not re-registered from last season that are now inactive be released before the B Car race at 'Dega tonight?

Hello

Grats to Maik on the Championship.

Quote from JakubSmetana

Congratulations to him for the championship! :Top:For me, it's a very successful debut season. Amazing last laps of the race. Shame on the Carsten. I learned many things during the season.

To think you wanted to stay in C Class after last season Fantastic Rookie season in Pro.

Quote from nielhekkens

I'll send you the email tomorrow.

Thanks Niel. Should be able to get the season wrapped up and made official pretty quickly

For the last time this year we're once again giving a gentle reminder that we need a copy of the replay. Even though there were no cautions we still need to check the start, be ready if there are any protests and save it to the VO database.

Thanks again for competing in VO this season, we look forward to seeing you all again next year.
