Good racing everyone, a first endurance race experience is always tricky, but overall it went well for everyone.
Thanks NDR for hosting and broadcast.
Congratulations to T7R for the win!

Yeah, my mirror is full black. Going to have to find out how to get image in it again, damn resetted LFS options.
Started 18th. The start was messy. The double file didn't work well due to short last line; while front cars started speeding up, the backmarkers were still getting into two lines. And when in the back we somewhat were in two lines, the green flag waved. I also had a sort of "jumpstart", not as impressive as SRS's start but I also gained 3 places on the straight alone, simply by starting to speed up when green flag was waved. That's what you get for reading and understanding the rules 
. Some spins in turn 1, closely avoided a car standing with it's nose in front of me. All going nice until turn 2... The wind was ****ing annoying. Was 15th on that moment.
My tyres were still a bit cold, didn't really warmed them up in that SC lap as I was being careful on the speeding-slowing down traffic in front (how hard is it to just drive the same speed...) and wanted to avoid the misshap as I experienced in Round 0. Got turn 2 a lot wrong because of that wind, tryed to push a bit more elsewhere on the track but it never worked out. Made one nice pass in the chikane, gained another spot as a car spun in the last turn by going on the grass. 12th position at this moment. Tyres got hot because of that and I started to lose places (not only by being slow but also by being hit two times by others, not very mint...), from 18th to 12th and back to 24th. I obviously could not get into my pace, not sure why... maybe the nerves, not enough experience with the car or other. It just all felt bad and obviously went bad. Also spun it once for giving too nicely a blue flag passage and getting for a bit into the grass. For the rest the race was okay. Shame of Paul his disconnects, we could have ended more midfield without those, oh well. Paul did a good job with little preparation, thanks for that Paul.
I do hate the S2 Blackwood GP.
The S1 Blackwood GP was so nice, this one is horrible.
Lets move on to Round 2. Thanks NDR for hosting and broadcast, good job as usual. I hope in Round 2 we can have a better start with a nice double lined up grid and that we have no wind in the race. Also; NO CHAT was given when the grid was being set up, yet lots of people chatted... no penalty. I have no objection at all to these harsh and little detail rules, in fact I love them (unlike Paul), but go through with the penalties and keep everything fair and open for all. Saying that there won't be a penalty now because it's Round 1 is nonsense to me, we had the testrace for a reason!

PS: Wind sucks

You know, that's my big advantage, I crawl so slow over the track that the chikane looks like one big straight to me, thus it's nearly impossible for me to flip there
Nevermind, found it.

Someone knows how to go from quakenet.org IRC server to the gamesurge.net IRC server ? 
Well done Tristan! 
I've also been looking at the Monoposto Racing Club website, those prices given for the racing are not thàt expensive indeed (for motorsport racing). I wonder if there's something like MRC in Belgium...

Just a little thank you to 'Something Awful' for giving me the final push to get back in the pitlane when I had ran out of fuel at the end of the qualify. 
Good qualify in Pool 2, I did horrible, but it was good racing with everyone giving enough room to eachother. I like it!

That IRC stuff really is not easy at all. I understand the reasons behind it but... euh...
Several of ex-BR and other back then present teams are still around; T7R & SCCC for example.
Some of us refound eachother in nfinity as well or the various other teams around like F1RST, SR, ... No despair, we are still here!
Good to see you back, ooh, where are those good old S1 BL1 XF GTi days!
Pedal problem is fixed, no idea what it was but suddenly it was fixed again.
A question if you don't mind:
Is there an improvement of the netcode in LFS sheduled somewhere soon ?
It would be really awesome to make useful use of the racer slots, eg. endurance races, and have a lot less very annoying (and really stupid) disconnects during such events.
Cause VW and a new track is all giggly fun, but what I personally care about is the netcode, damage-and tyre models improvements (and such simulation important aspects).

Hmm. Weird. I don't really know a specific solution for the problem I'm afraid. I now and then also have "did not received x info". I just try to reconnect then and it works then...
Do you have a clean LFS Z25 installation ?
Did you correctly unlocked LFS S2 ?

Lead by 1 lap ? You're obviously not following the race...
Top 3 is all doing a strong performance, too bad of Mooney his DT. Kroesse does nice also.
From what I saw from on the stream (not replay), I don't think Buuren caused the accident but there was something with Staal - Kroesser - 'unknown GT2 car'. I think Staal didn't expected Kroesser to be next to him and they got in contact. Again; not sure at all, just giving my opinion on live stream watch.
Indirectly of course caused by Buuren unlapping himself in the middle of a GT1 top three fight, which is indeed (even when being faster), not the most wise thing to do.
At least do it on the straight then if possible, not in the close SO corners.
Keep up the racing.
Good racing, but also: very great commentating!
It's even more interesting and better than the commentators we have here on the national sport channel (eg. during F1 races; they always miss stuff or give incorrect info).

Racing is escaping from the world and nearly everything else on it (aside the track, other cars, ...).
Fun to watch. By the way, you can review it all on the link in first post, skip the intro's or delayed stuff in between. Some nice racing in it... racers can be such little kids
