Chris Shepherd 53 Report post Posted January 12, 2013 Sorry Guys. Should have signed out tbh. Did 5 laps a few days ago to familiarize myself with the track layout but didnt really start till 3 hours before the race. Had not bad pace considering and was very happy with that but it really showed in the race. Binned it into the pits race 1 due to never driving the pitlane (was meant to test it out on the warmup lap but drove straight past it and set a time like an idiot.) Race 2 got a blinding start and passed 8 cars before end of lap 1 but ran wide and lost them all again, sorry David, who I spun. Should have waited but was so angry with myself I carried on. (PENALTY ) Made it into the pits but received S&G. Shame really, if I had the time to practice a Podium was a possibilty, due to others and their troubles. Sorry.

David Jundt 187 Report post Posted January 12, 2013 Sorry is not enough, went into the tyres and had a damaged car(although the suspension damage was drivable as I even got close to 29's) Ah well, guess it happens, but I never expected a hit at that corner Again me when I was close to a Top 10 finish, the cars get bunched up(Gardiner and Villar) and I back off only to be spun out. But anyway, I did a rage drive but didn't catch Mr Barron in time as I did a 4 tyre stop.... Better score twice for Top 15 than crash Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jonatan Åcerclinth 400 Report post Posted January 12, 2013 Short comment: Horrible I don't want to remember these races and forget them as soon as possible to get ready for KW and show what I am really worth, because this event was so bad from my part that it was hardly worth to be showed on stream...... R2 I went wide at the last turn heading for the pits on L6 and I hit the grass not able to stop and the tirewall ended my race Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rhys Gardiner 273 Report post Posted January 12, 2013 Very good event on my end, especially compared to the rest of my season so far. Two 9th places! Very good racing from much of the field as well. Special mention for my teammate Matthew Barron - a very solid job for his first Server 1 appearance. We'll be putting in the miles for KW, that's for sure!

Bill Kaiser 13 Report post Posted January 12, 2013 Just want to say in Race 2 I made a horrible start from P 1. Pedro ended behind me going through the fast chicane and I was out of sorts and he tapped me and turned me around. Totally my responsibility as I lifted completely and he had no where to go.

Dennis Phelan 17 Report post Posted January 13, 2013 I was glad to fill a position on the grid in server one for this race! I am slow at four seconds off the pace and I think I embarrassed the announcers in qualifying when they had no one to watch but me for two laps. The air time was appreciated though . Throughout practice and the races I just tried to say out of everyone's way. I finished having gone off track only, once unless you add to that all the times I put too many wheels out in the chicane? I had nothing to gain by doing that and thought that many times I was clear but in viewing replay, it's true. Definitely, definitely difficult to avoid doing that! Great fun watching the S1 race realtime too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Shepherd 53 Report post Posted January 13, 2013 It might not be enough, but I am. I dont make a habbit out of hitting drivers. Rarely happens, even without any practice at any particular track. The car infront should be a good enough reference to stop in time and it shouldnt have happened. How about if I say it again. Im sorry Mr. Jundt. Looool. Sorry is not enough...

David Jundt 187 Report post Posted January 13, 2013 S'alright now Chris... But I was spun off at Hungary aswell, also because I went off throttle for cars goign two-wide. Now it happened again, and Rhys and Francisco were quite silly tapping each other all the time through the last corners. Once again, I have to pay for no fault on my own Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rhys Gardiner 273 Report post Posted January 13, 2013 Silly? We were involved in our own battle and from my point of view, we gave each other enough room to keep going. There was a bit of contact, yes, but nothing too drastic in my opinion... Francisco ended up finishing higher than me anyway. All we were doing was racing each other for position. But I guess if you're looking for an apology then I'm sorry... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
David Jundt 187 Report post Posted January 13, 2013 I am not? One or two taps were nearly enough to send one of you sideways enough to spin, I had to avoid spinning Francisco in the first turn aswell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rhys Gardiner 273 Report post Posted January 14, 2013 We were still racing for position, and we both stayed on track in the process. Yeah, I probably could have yielded to Francisco before the final turn, but you guys were very close behind us and I thought that if I had, you guys would have run into me anyway. I defended my line and that was that. It was a spur of the moment thing. I'm just having trouble seeing how the people racing in front of you could be held responsible for the actions of the people behind you...? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pedro Amaral 143 Report post Posted January 14, 2013 Hey guys Nice races, altough I was disapointed because we were 9 or 10... I knew that Matthias would be a contender, just as Domingos, and that proved right. Nice and secure 1st race that ended with a win, and the same result on 2nd race, after a great battle with Domingos. See you at KW! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
