Man I'm glad I saw all this, I've been under the impression we were forced to take that default fuel

Dear all.
I am really sorry, but I have to skip this race.
After 1 week of heavy practice, I managed to run good laps around 1.35 with default fuel amount, and I was really looking forward to this race.
This would have been my first race with you.
Real life took over, and my daughter became sick with high fever, she is sleeping in my arms as I type.
I am not sad, I know that I learned a lot during this week, and there will be numerous opportunities to prove my incompetence in racing.
Good luck, have fun tonight, and apologies again.

Sorry to hear that, Staniol...hope your daughter gets to feeling better. Don't worry, there'll be plenty of events to join in the future.

Something went wrong with the penalty. Make a pit stop to change the tires, but i forget the speed limit. Next Round i go into the lane, but i accelerate to early...*argh* next round i take the stop and go penalty, and next time - the last chance for the drive through - i make a pit stop...and so i dq..... how stupid

Excellent racing today fellas, well done Pumbaa you set a pretty sick pace. Darren as well. I must admit I was a little disappointed with my luck getting around traffic tonight, but those are the breaks.

Well done to everybody involved, and I hope to see you at the next F1 classic.

I quit out when I felt like I was getting in the way, but I watched the rest of it. Great racing by all.

What a EPIC race....

Poor luck to Team Lotus, I'm not sure what happened with Puro, but those damned stewards cost Caana a possible podium... Also poor luck to Birdski who I think had a disco?

excellent racing DB and Apex...

good to see the new guys giving it a go, this is most likely THE toughest mod....

I'll write a race report tomorrow...

Thanks for hosting Doug and SimHQ

Good run, Pumbaa and Darren...half a second at the line, kind of like Monza in '67.

Hopefully, it wasn't a track error that cost Caana...seems I remember the '79 Dijon track had one until it was fixed. The way it's supposed to work is if it's a Stop and Go, then rF overides any pit changes that might be selected. Who knows what happened as sometimes rF has a mind of it's own.

I pretty much blew my own strategy with a couple of offs early....I was able to run 40 laps on a set of Mediums and was hoping that I'd be close enough at the end to run Softs to make up any ground, but my mistakes tossed that possibility out the window.

Great win, Pumbaa!



Congrats for 2nd, Darren!

Congrats for 3rd, apex!

So good to see a decent turnout for an F1 race! Welcome to each of you that ran your first event with us, and we hope you'll join us again in the future!

Congratulations to Pumbaa and the podium and thanks to Doug for hosting the show.

It just didn't work for me yesterday, my heart and mind were not really in it. Already in qualifying I made mistakes which I haven't made in the practice laps and it didn't improve.

When within just two laps of the race I realised that it gets worse I called it a day and considered it wiser to stop the car, in order to avoid ruining everybody else's race. Physically my car would have been a wreck anyway at that point.

I feel extremely sorry for Caana - yes, it wasn't the best of days for Team Lotus.
