Sorry guys i was awful out there, apologies for the mistakes and ending your races Weasy and Bird, feel awful, knew it was a bad idea me racing on an oval :/ definatly not cut out for oval racing, i dont feel as though i have as much control over the car as i do in other series and that was half the problem, guess i will stay away from ovals in future.

Again sorry for ending your races, i shouldnt of even been that high up in the order anyway frown sorry guys

Was having a good race, qualified at the back, but was up to 5th at lap 3. Just driving around for the next 50 laps, but got taken out in turn one by someone driving like an idiot. Sucks to end the race like that.

Apologies to Justin. Thought I was low enough there. Just one of those racing things I guess.

Did a brilliant start after qualifying 7th, got 3rd, and then on lap 4 - if I remember well - I was almost side-to-side with Steve Gee when Rhino attempted a pass on the inside at turn 3. I let him too much space and ended in Steve's right wheel. I feel it's my bad. Sorry Steve.

Then I got heavy unrepairable aero damage, did several mistakes. At one point I had to pit, no lap left, when a full yellow was called. Had to do an overslow lap and then to wait another one by turning off the engine to save one extra liter in order to reach the pit stall.

Not my day. Congratulations to Stewart Forgie, awesome win there ! thumbsup

No worries Mr Hill, it happens to all drivers. I could have sworn I had you cleared but through the smoke your car must have rolled and I T-boned you. I went in for a 156 second pit stop to repair damages but I'd lost about 25-30mph when I came back out and still couldn't keep it off the wall through the turns. Better for me to retire than avoid traffic for the next couple hours.

Congrats to Stewart for the win! I was literally holding my breath and on the edge of my seat to watch the final 25 laps. Steve Gee definately gave you a run for the money but you didn't waiver. Awesome racing!

Don't give up. I've been doing oval races since I started simracing in 1996 and I still crash all the time. biggrin
