Hey all ! I write my good race report now i have the time !
For our french friends translate it with the translate button , because if i translate it from english to frensh on google it is not good ! Practise : I test more then normal , i did 150 laps training my record !
The first 2 days my speed was good First laps.
But then i get the idea in my head to try a 1 STOP ! So i tested with the feul ( 130 liters ) and did the laps and it was working in practise ( laptimes : 1.32 to 1.31 ) but problem was lap 28 my tyres where very bad , and to do 4 extra laps with it cost me alot of time.
So just before Qualify i decide to do a 2 stopper , but i dont practise for 2 stops , so my cambe was very low , and my tyre pressure was very high , and my gears where alot higher for the beginning of my stint ...
Qualify : I did my stint 1 and my lap was oke , 1.28.9 same lap as my fastest practise time , so it was oke !
It was nothing special but i was happy with it ! P2 for me.
Race : I was still thinking about my strategy lol , i practised 2 weeks with the wrong strategy , but i thought not that much feul that will going good :p
Start : My start was good , Laurent start was a little bit slower , and Alexander had allso a good start !
I was trying to get in the middle of Turn 1 , then i decide to slow down and be happy with my 3th place !
After turn 3 i was 2nd , behind Alexander ! we had a little touche in the slow section because he brake so early ! But that was my faulth !
Then Laurent was in my back in lap 2 and he overtake me easy , i know he was low feuled so i can never hold him because he was flying !
Then Alexander and Laurent where fighting , and i was looking from 1 second distance , with skoop behind me !
Lap 3 - 4 i saw i was not making speed , my settings where to low , my tyres where still cold , my gears where so high , i must re shift alot of times because my gears where not matched on my 2 stop !
Lap 5 or 6 the big problems starts really ... i was still making no speed alexander falls back , skoop was quicker as me , a group of 3 drivers behind me with good heated tyres !
But i decide to give no presents : they where all on the same strategy as me so i may not let somebody pass for my own chanses !
Pacif , Alexander , Skoop where battling and i was leading that train i saw alot of move's with skoop in my back i was trust i will not get a hit ! but in lap 14 Alexander overtakes Skoop , and this time Alexander was in my back , whe came into section 1 , and he did a aggresive move overtakes me with bumping and i lose 2 places ... I was not happy with that move , but was not making problems of it !
Then Pacif & Alexander infront of me , skoop in my back ! I can see Pacif & Alexander driving and keep a distance of 2 seconds !
Skoop was trying to overtake me and i block him lap 21 skoop needs to pit and i let him pass just infront of the veedol chicane ( chicane on last turn ) so he can pit and i get a extra lap !
I came out as leader , because Laurent was pited early.
I change my brake bias ( to get heat in my tyres ) but after 2 laps they where allready in my back so my plan was really not working
Again there where alot of overtaking moves , and alexander try something and he spun off the track ! In my eyes alexander was a little bit to aggresive and had no patience and that cost him a very good result !
Pacif overtakes me , And Laurent overtakes me ! ( Very fair this time ! )
Laurent and pacif fighting i was following them , but laurent came in the gras and drive on the circuit and we hit eatchother ! that was a race accident laurent you can do nothing on it mate ! i lose a place to skoop but i overtake it , after some turns ( sportive ).
Then Laurent had a problem i guess , really a shame man you where quick again !
P1 Pacif , me and skoop following , the gap was 1.5 seconds , skoop came in lap 41 , normal i came in lap 42 but i had to much feul and i stay out till lap 44 ! Pacif was 1 lap before me in pits , i drove my ass of to get a good time , and when i came out i had 3 seconds on Pacif !
Again the fucking problem i can not mak speed and after 8 rounds Pacif was again in my back with skoop ! They where fighting and Skoop overtake's Pacif , try a overtake in Turn 1 and he loses his car. he was to close at me because you cant overtake there and he loses his car . A shame because skoops speed was very quick !
Then it was between me and Pacif ! And like i said i was wrestling the tyres and my gears , in every single corner i lose time , with a great 6 - 8 laps he can overtake me on the straight ! Smart sportive move and he keep a good line !
Then i was quicker as him , but i had no single place to overtake him , his acceleration in a corner was alot beter as mine !
My topspeed was quicker but i was to far after every corner , i overtake him 1 time and then he takes The first place back !
Then till lap 58 i was close , i try everytrhing but the battle was over !
Pacif controlate his race and drive to the winner ! Congrulations mate perfect race for you and very hard ! Allso to Skoop , Laurent , Alexander good race !
______________________________________________________________________________________________________
Now i little word for the guys that where not happy with my defending !
If you are struggling from lap 1 : to lap 60 with the balance , gears and tyres : and you are fighting for a championship then you go not say here pass me easily ! I defend very well and very hard ! But sportive and i had no touches ( only with alexander )
But i may defend hard because it was for the win , but the guys that try to make a overtake must be sportive , no touches , no hits and no cuts and nobody in that group do this , so i was happy i can defend like you see on real F1 !.
Normal i let skoop pass in this situations : but this time i decide to do it not
1) because whe where fighting for the champ.
2) The biggest reason i was testing alot & last 2 races we dont talk so much anymore !
In the first week i send you a pm , with some talk , then i send my setup and i dont hear anything anymore ...
You did fast times and + 100 laps , 60 min before race i get a pm with strategy ... Thats very weird you can always write something back and give information + setup if you are in a day or night shift ! As teammates you need to work toghetter off track & on track like we did in the beginning of the season
Thats the reason i dont let you pass that fast as normal , and fight longer with you ( same as pacif laurent alexander )
I wanna be more a team again working on the setup give some details try to improve it , and be that fast again as first races !
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
But i think the race was very fair and nobody needs to blaim a touche can happends if you are racing with 5 people so close ! i never see this before.
i wanna say allso good bye to Dayesinho a very good friend of me , i like to drive with him and we all gona miss him on track hope to see him back soon !
So guys it was a wonderfull race : i hope to see everyone back in august we have a great league , members , leaders , mod !
And i wish everyone a good holliday ! Nykola take some relax hehe ^^
And let the battle continues after the holliday : skoop , alexander , pacif , laurent , geo alot of toppers , alot of different with the 2010 season hehe !

Seeyou all
