Shame your race ended that way Stev!

Unfortunately I picked op 4x twice from lapped cars. Especially the first one around lap 75 with the #07 affected my race big time. I suffered from steering damage after that and the next 180 laps where no fun I tell you Truck was hard to handle and sharp pace was gone.

I'm proud of the field the race stayed green on this track, but I could've really used a caution to fix my damage somewhere.

Edit: forgot to mention I was very happy with my first pole in this series!

I'm fuming. Thanks Toni for denying me any chance to have a race. I really can not understand why you would make it three wide so deep into the green flag run with worn tires.

Because of the crash I suffered engine damage and got caught one lap down, down on power. Tried to overcompensate and hit the wall on my own and then was finished off by John unfortunately. No caution thankfully but it was hopeless after the first incident already.

Sorry sorry, forgot to save this week...

Btw; how come I'm leading the Championship now? Surely that's not right, Daniel should be in front still, I think...

nvm, I just found out Richmond is official.

Well I held on for the first 35 laps, then I got tired and couldn't keep consistent pace up anymore. Nice close race with Michael up till then

Again, congrats Ignacio, that was some really impressive pace.

Turn one is to the left. So that feels familiar, but then...

Quote from S. Aladisch

auch Lapper fahren Ihr Rennen, so kann es nicht selten zu Situationen kommen, in denen die Kollegen weiter vorn weit und breit niemanden zum racen haben, die Lapper aber untereinander schon. SO muss man ggf auch als Lapper mal an nem nicht lapper vorbei...besonders natürlich wenns gerade um Lucky Dog geht.

Aber ansonsten habt ihr natürlich Recht, wenn man nicht im Kampf mit jemanden ist lässt man den schnelleren durch, egal ob Lapper oder nicht...ggf auch andere Pitstrategie usw.

yeah, when there is a lapped car (no matter how many laps down) on fresh tires and mine are 80 laps old, I'm not getting in the way.

But there where some cases on equal tires on restarts where lapped cars where just racing hard, pushing too much risking a crash and probably the race of a frontrunner.

Wow...

I was focussing on tire & fuel saving and fortunately the first half of the race played in that favour going green until lap 106 or something. Then my strategy went in the bin because of the many many cautions in the second part of the race.

All in all I had some great racing up front but there where some sketchy moments with lapped cars racing me like it was for position, confusion with the restart zone -> speeding up and then slowing down and waiting on the green flag (is that allowed?) & very tough moments on the final restarts making my way around drivers with older tires.

I think the final position (p4) was where I kind of belonged on pure pace. But if it stayed green the second part it could've very well been p2. I had nothing for Daniel unfortunately.

Congrats on the win Jonathon!

That was a great strategy game there! I was probably too cautious on the fuel saving because JRT constantly went from -0.2 to + 0.3.

About 30 laps into the long green run I was praying there would be no further caution. Otherwise it would've been hard to keep P3.

ah, great, there is proof, thanks!

I was looking at the PDF file on the main website.

I signed up/registered for Class-C but I'm not on the entry list.

Unfortunatly I have to fortfeit the race tonight due to flu/corona/apevirus disease maybe I'm just getting old..

I have to take a provisional for the Texas Class-B race.

Haven't figured out this track unfortunately. Whatever I tried (lines/throttle/brake) the magnetic wall kept pulling me in t3/4 for about 10 times in the first 30 laps. Since I have a feeling this race stays green I'm probably a driving roadblock so I parked it.

Well.. thought I had a shot for the win but that went away when I smashed the car into the outside wall around lap 120. I suffered way more on tyre wear than Jose but managed to outlast the full tank still and had decent pace. After that I lost concentration a bit and just went for the finish (and smashed the wall another 100 times). Congrats on the W Jose!

Participation wasn't very high unfortunately. Don't know if that is down to the track?

Edit: replay is up in the FTP.

Quote from Stefan Kresin

That was absolutely my fault....

I'm so sorry mate... 😔

No problem

Messed up Q so had to claw my way back up. Goal was to keep 0x. That went out of the window on the actual race start when everyone checked up...

Then #66, Evaristo. I'm sorry I got into you. I hate that I was one of the reasons for a caution and it messed up your race badly.

After that it was a matter of survival. I was sitting comfortably in the top 5 until on the actual last laps the #79 lost control and I had to evade and ended up finishing sixth. Sour grapes....

should be there (FTP)

Quote from Yves

Please, Replay someone?

I have one, where can I send it to?

Well.. managed to hang on for a top 5 but there was some weird stuff going on there at the end...

Not the right topic but...why is there no 'Class-B Richmond' topic?

Edit: nevermind
