Great race! Hasse Melin made me really nervous in the first part of the race. But when I passed M.Holmberg I could manage to get a little gap.. enough to bring third place.
I also want to apologize for my harsch move at Melin at the hill! I was a bit stressed I guess... :doh:

The liveforspeed.se forums still seem to be down so just logon to the server "Torsdagsrace A". No possibility to signup today.

Warmup starts at 20.00 and qualifying at 21.00. Racestart 21.30. All times are CET.

Since we have a problem we wont set a password until qualifying is over so we do not get anybody joining in during the race.

I really hope we dont get any unwanted visitors during the qualifying!

I think the biggest restriction is skill, not air intake.

Good point!

It's really strange that the FXR with the same reastrictions in GTAL was alot more faster than expected at some tracks. But I guess that was cheating!
TEM finished 8th this race with the FXR... must be something utter rubbish with the regulations in this league :|

Oh well.. next track SO4r suites the FXR perfect and I think team #92 has a good chance to improve there results.

GT2 World Series - Keep

No stream today? :/

#07 OK

Quote from DeathItself :

I think it has more to do with people not wanting to get stuck behind a slower driver and be able to run their full pace, but yeah testrace was a mess I got hit from all sides ... I think

Of course you don't want to get stuck behind a slower car, but you still need to pass the slower car proper without forcing the car out of the racing line.

And I still not understand the guy who tried to pass me on the outside into the oval section :|

Quote from Tur8o :

Quote from CARRERA GT :

Yeah thx mate, it wasn t has easy has it seem on the stream, because it was difficult to kwown who was who behind me and who to let pass or not.
One thing is that i don t remember blocking anyone and i didn t hear anyone conplaining about me in the stream when i done my stin. if i did block someone, it wasn t intentionnelle and do apology.

If you dont know if it's a blueflag or not I should say let em pass especally when they flash with their lights and horn.

But blueflag is always hard to manage.. and I dont remember which cars it was but he almost pushed me of the track into turn 4. Even if I understand that you don't wont to loose any time on the blueflag I think it's much safer for both of us if you pass me in the exit of the corner instead.

As a guestdriver for IRM I'd a tricky second stint. Spun in corner 2 and Tomasz Nogiec hit me and my car was totally undrivable. I want to say sorry for that though I just turn my wheel around and tried to go in right direction of the track and he hit me. Should have been looking at the map and wait for my move.. but I guess it's a racing incident.

Well SC + repair, fueling up and the rest of the stint went okay for me.. but just 4 laps after the leader :P

Indeed.. nervous and my first GTAL qual ever

I want to say sorry to the SR driver that hit my car in T2. I should have let you pass me earlier since I just completed a DT.

Quote from PMD9409 :

As Marius showed you, I said I'll try to do them every Thursday before the race. So the next one would be on the 18th.

Also, was 19:00 UTC okay with everyone last time? We had a full grid, so I know there's people home at that time, but since the time change I want to make sure everyone is still okay.

Just read the line "I might try to have..." therefore the question
19:00 UTC is fine by me.. but I dont know for the rest of the grid

Quote from Hahmo :

Nop :P Unless you guys make up some unofficial one
There might be some kind of testrace after 3/4 rounds if there aren't too many teams on the waiting list..

Ahh.. was thinking about a unofficial event

Will there be a testrace before the main event on Saturday?

Well done admins!

Quote from pik_d :

I'll add you to the squad of course but I'd rather just one driver per squad posting the squad stuff in the future. Also your country code should be "GBR" as should Seb's too. I didn't notice that earlier, whoops. The rules state "ISO 3166-1 alpha-3", I'll edit that into the OP.

Also a note to everyone (PMs will be sent out later) we do have rules instructing you to do hotlaps in order to be allowed to race. Last I checked only Yann and I have done two hotlaps and are set to race.

Hopefully I'm ready for race too now

Quote from oscarhardwick :

I think personally, and as an admin who re-veiwed the replay, that we should run AS4R for the second test race. It has pleanty of room and would be a good challenge. I shall be out of the hot seat this race and helping to drive / co-ordinate the SC. Maybe with a push or three in the right direction this next race can be a success and a more pleasant learning experiance compared to R0a.

Oscar.

and hopefully no RB4 as pacecar
