I was obvisly flooding when trying to gratulate mulas for the win, so I got kicked. Trying to reconnect but didn't work ...

Anyway, it was great fun and the fastest driver won and the next fastest got 2nd. Bad luck for Badger and me but mistakes isn't really bad luck eh?!


Congrats to top two ...

Quote from sjoblom :

So u tell me how to solve it ... it´s Google using my swe location, the formula is all autogenerated by google docs ... so maybe (=hopefully) its in eng (or your foregn locale) if your pc is using foreign location ... anyone outside sweden, pls let us know if your formula is in swedish as well

Auto generated sux big time

Looking good Sjöblom ...

To mark a field Obligatorisk is "Mandatory" in the English language though ...

EDIT: ... and Skicka at the bottom is "Send" in English. No more Swenglish please ...

Quote from J@tko :

It may well be that he ruined your hotlap (and his own), but if he's faster than you he has every right to get past. If he had got past with an "illegal" overtake (i.e. one that he would have gotten penalised for in a race) then yes, he would have got a penalty as he would in a race. However as it was a clean overtake there's nothing wrong with it, he's only "ruined" his hotlap too.

And I would debate the fact he caused the accident in the next corner...

Interesting ...
What you are saying now is that during qualify race condition is the case? If so I would have every right to block him too.
This is totaly new to me during a qualy session in this league. But good to know.
It's an utopia - but - if I made a fantastic hotlap and got to the top, I could go around driving a defensive line in order to stop others to set good laps. For other drivers it's certainly not any utopia. Who knows, we might see this in the future.

protest rejected , it has never been illegal to overtake another car during qualifying.

A bit odd imo. Everywhere else you see to you have enough space to do a hotlap not to disturb a fellow driver ahead of you. In this special occasion #13 ruined not only our hotlap but the car behind us, coursing an accident in the next corner.
It's all about respect to others trying to set the best possible lap.

Just checked the replay. No hard feeling what so ever there Eoin.
A typical race incident. If you where looking a bit further forwards you might have seen me sliding upwards earlier and I might control that slide a bit better and stay on the apron .. but hey - shit happens, specially at 1 am ...

Didn't got home until now. I'll try to be awake at midnight (at our CET-time)

What a nice qualy. Have ppl gone mad? Overtake cars during a hotlap?

#13, you ruined my hotlap as well as cars behind you and of course your own, when trying to overtake me. Maybe it's not a good idea to draft and slingshot yourself when there's traffic in front of you? I guess it's allowed to draft at a qualy session, but is it a good idea?

#36 Sorry about the mess when going out on the first attempt. The cars in front of me slowed down so I had to do that as well.

Otherwise it was all good ...

Grats to the top guys - amazing speed!!

the easiest is to use your LFS ingame name format for TS as well

And where do I find the info about the TS server?

Quote from Eclipsed :

Was a good duel for me! The 1st try to start was very lucky - car in front went right and caused mass crash,while I was the only to run away cleanly. In the restart I together with Bertil Holmberg managed to run away from the rest,was quite good work together as we pulled away from the rest to 7 seconds margin until Bertil made a little mistake with some 20 laps to go,I saw my chance to run away from him,as the pack behind didn't really worked well,as their laps wasn't fast enough. But then there was a crash and all my gap was lost,but also in restart we together with Bertil managed to run away to have our duel for win - had a good draft after turn 3 and I went around him to take win in this!

I hope the main race will be atleast as good!

Was a great race. Thanks for that great cooperation we made, worked like a charm. I was lucky with that crash when 20 to go so I was able to catch you again ... ... you seem to have the faster car.

I learned something tonight about how to finish the race too ...

Cya all next weekend ...

Ahh ... understand now ...

Quote from Mustangman759 :

there is no order to my madness I just put that together

We had our suspicions about this but nothing we spoke out loud ....

Gl all in the race tonight ...

I have no clue why you put us at the last spot on the waiting list. It doesn't matter though since we cannot race today.

#23 IRM redraw from this round

What can I say? As midlefielder or backmarkers the qualy isn't that important to us. We spend all our time to make a good race set and use to do the qualy on this.
This weekend we never got a chans to qualyify and we knew about it a couple of days before the event. We forgot to notify you guys due to a misunderstanding.

What ever ruling you have done or do we of course accept it. We also want to apologize for our clumsiness.

As I understand from the discussion above we are on a waitinglist?
