Quote from Hahmo :

I agree with the second incident - lag involved.

But the first one I'm asking to be reviewed. Taking a look at the replay, we can all see that Maddee loses the control of the car and goes very wide. Genr loses the control a bit also, and goes wide and on top of that TURNS RIGHT after gaining the control again to take out our car. You can see the wheel movement going to the right, on a turn turning to left?

For these reasons I'm asking this to reviewed again for I see it as avoidable contact / contact made on purpose.

Session of Incident: Race
MPR Timecode -OR- UTC Time of Incident: 24:25:.54
Lap and Location of Incident: 15, Sector 3
Your Car Number: 02
Other Car(s) Involved: 10
Brief Description of Incident: Maddee goes to the outside entering the braking zone and turns in late leaving plenty of room. #10 outbrakes himself and Maddee has to take evasive action (eventually spinning himself) to avoid contact with 10 who is suddenly 3 car widths away from the apex.

I just want to give you my point of view.

First of all, you know that I'd never wreck anyone on purpose. I would never ever ever do that. My back locked up and twitched because of our diff. I had to correct it to be safe, I didn't know that Maddee was there on the outside. If I did slide I would've hit you even harder.

Secondly none of the hits we had were intentional, the first one was because Maddee just closed the door on me (in my opinion) while we were on the apex. The second we both outbraked ourselfs and went wide. Maddee spun already and I, sadly, went wide aswell and accidentally hit him. There was no intention what so ever, Mirro you should know that because you know me too well. The thrid one was because first of all Maddee didn't leave me enough room and sadly the lag made it worse.

Well, this being said I want to end the discussion. Lets just act like true sportmen, shake hands and walk away from it. There was no intention from my side, period.

Thank you.

Quote from Hahmo :

Before going to msn, skype or anyone, I came here to apologise for Heijerman. It was an honest mistake from my part, I absolutely missed my braking point and I do accept the penalty that surely will be given. I am very sorry.

And, Letteriello, when a leader comes to pass you, in chicane please dont brake infront of me and go 30kph slower than anyone else in that chicane, we both just saw what happened.

Thanks for the apology . It's okay, it can happen. Hope you learned your lesson, haha !

Sad to give you this news but due to IRL stuff the GT500 XRR from Genuine Racing wont be able to drive this race. We'll be back next round with full force for sure.

Just to make this post clear, the GT500 confirmation has been removed so only the GT300 confimation remains as quoted above.

Well there are some batches (of both the G25 and G27) that are just not up to standard which causes them to breakdown very fast or just wears quicker. I do think that Logitech has less of a quality standard compared to, for example, Fanatec. But they still make, in my oppinion, good wheels.

When my G25 pedals got issues I concidered buying Fanatec Clubsports, but after informing with Logitech I went for a brand new G27 (which is stepping up quality wise from a G25). I hope the wheel I have now will live just as long as my 1st G25, but if it won't I'll probably be going to a full Fanatec Clubsport set.

I'd just like to advice everyone who doesn't want to spend more money to write an e-mail to the logitech support because they will mostlikely provide you with a new one, which is ofcourse cheaper than stepping up to Fanatec or ECCI even.

My G25 started doing that. I just wrote a msg to the logitech support explaining the problem, they replied within 2 days and about 3 days after the reply, and filling out the small form and providing some evidence that the wheel is actually yours and sitting at your home, I got a new G27 delivered at my front door completely free of charge . I'd try that if I were you .

I'm now on my 4th wheel. The first one (G25) cost €150,- second hand, second one (G25) free, third (G27 / lived 3 weeks) free and now this one (G27) free. Mind you, the first wheel was 3 years old and they still provided me a replacement wheel. Just after my third wheel broke down they arranged a free pickup via UPS to bring my 2 wheels which were sitting at home to their factory for further investigation. The first one I had to sent to them before I got the replacement G25 and provide the evidence of sending the package to them in a msg to the support. Just goes to show how great the logitech support really is !

Will there be any penalties regarding hitting the poles on the pit entry?

Ofcourse with the difference of slightly nudging them and deliberately hitting them, or cutting, for a pit entry advantage .

Laying in bed right now but it's hard to get this race out of my head so I decided to write a lil report about the GenR GT500 XRR :P.

The qualifying was a bit dissapointing but we kinda knew that we wouldn't be up there since our tires weren't optimal at all after the outlap. Dom did everything he could and did a great job none the less .

Start of the race was tough with ofcourse the waved off first start and than the crash of my3id in which we were kind of hit pretty hard so we took somme damage. After a couple of laps it got clear that our car wasn't behaving as we wanted with these windy conditions. we had troubles with over- and understeer in the 2nd sector which couldn't be fixed by changing the arbs since it either made the under or oversteer worse so we decided to stick with the original settings but that made us lose quite some time there. Dom did a great job staying close on spdo's tail which gave us the ability to jump them during the stops. We got back 4th which was a great surprise !

I suffered from the same problems Dom had in sc2 and really didn't feel comfortable there. I was +- 10kph slower trough the corners there than I had been trough my practice. I either missed the apex or just plain oversteered which forced me to go off the trottle. Never got really used to it trough my stint. Than I got into a battle with LRT and sadly lost it because of a locking rear diff, which cought me off guard really. Tried to push to stay behind them and maybe go for a shot in the last sector but a chance never came.

These problems caused us to be off the pace significantly. Where as we'd been doing low 40's and 39's in practice we were in the low 41's and high to mid 40's but never the less we had great fun!

All with all a 5th place is a good way to start the season, specially in the less popular car, but we're ready to take that gamble ! Aswell as for the GenR GT300 FZR who scored a great 2nd place in their class in the last race for Klaidas in a long time!

I want to thank the organizers for this great format. I like it very much and it has made me that much more motivated to work on the sets and practice !

Cya all in Blackwood Reversed! And watch out for the squirl/dolphin/elephant sound under downshift making GenR car in the GT500 we will be there! Hahaha :P!
