This, and it has an elevation change, might make T15 interesting :S
I didn't make the graphic 
But wasn't T1 in Austria a 90° corner?
Edit: Nevermind, misread your post -.-

Has anyone saved the replay?

Wow. That was an awesome race. Definately one of the best (if not THE best) I ever had in LFS.
Somehow I managed to join the server just before qualy (I thought I had at least 1 hour left) so I asked for a set, drove my first ever laps on this combo... and qualified last, 4 seconds slower then Three Jump. Even after I removed franky's ballast
I wasn't really up to speed.
Well, I thought to myself, just 6 guys in the race and noone is as slow as I am... I just have to make sure I don't flip, blow a tyre or fall asleep to get some points... but that'll be a boring race. Well, as it turned out, I was wrong.
First few laps were indeed not very eventful, managed to gain 2 positions at the start. Three Jump started dissappearing into the distance and I lost time to the ATC guys. I guess Cropsy and Tumz were fighting for a positions, because I gained time on them. At least had a bit of time to search for the right lines.
In lap 7 or 8 Franky made an error in the double right in the last sector allowing me to pass him, but he regained that position quite quickly. After that I followed the two ATC guys for what felt like eternity... must have been 15-20 laps (which would be more then 30 to 40 minutes), all three of us staying within 1 or 2 seconds.
In Lap 31 and 32 dadge and franky pitted while still had 20% of fuel left. Thought if I push hard enough I could gain enough time to leave the pits infront of them... then again, I didn't want to risk blowing a tyre (cause I'm hard on tyres anyways)... even on my inlap I wasn't sure if I should change tyres or not. But then I thought the race was that close and fun so far, wouldn't it be boring to be in 4th position in the last 20 laps with noone around me? So I decided to "change tyres if wear >65%", since I already did 66% of the race and just let LFS decide if I should change tyres. It turned out LFS didn't want me to change tyres.
Oh, and one thing. Normally I do a few test-inlaps after qualy to make sure where to break and where the white line starts / ends (no 20 seconds penalties as of yet), but since I joined just before qualy began I opted for going to the toilet instead of practicing that... because of that I lost quite some time. Pit entry was meh (braked way too early, even had to accelerate in the pits) and while I could see the pit entry in the laps gone by I wasn't too sure about the pit exit since I was already focusing on braking / turning for T1. So I wasn't quite sure where that damn line was. Lost quite some time on pit exit because I was checking my mirrors for the ATC guys and overshot the corner.
But at least I managed to enter the track infront of them... just. I think dadge got me on that very lap.
And then the real fun began. Franky, Dadge and I were fighting for what was then 3rd (but should be 2nd because Tumz had yet to pit) place.
Especially the last 10 laps or were great. Almost every lap I passed someone or got passed, 2-wides through 3 or 4 consecuitve corners, hard but fair fights, some paint trading, slipstreaming... just great racing.
I lost some time in the double right handers, but I didn't want to stress my tyres that much and I saw some scary moments of ATC guys so I didn't want to push my luck. I also never got T2 quite right, but on the other hand I guess I had at least 10 passes into T1 where I took a slightly tighter line then the ATCs. Anyway.... as I said, those 20 laps or so were huge fun.
In the meantime, Three Jump still was miles ahead and lapping around 1 second faster then me so when I saw that he had a drive through I thought he pitted and since he was bored he got himself a DT just for the laughs... he still would have led i guess. But after about 1 lap I glimpsed at the positions indicator, and to my surprise I was 2nd, not 3rd... indeed, Three Jump was behind us. Wait a second, that means with just a few laps to go, I was battling for the win, right? Boy, those last laps were intense, frustrating, great... just everything. Dadge overtook me while drifting over the curbs (I was really taken aback when I saw you appearing in front of me in full lock... as a matter of fact I was that stunned I rear ended you... my only serious contact in the race I think).
Anyway, I was 0.01 seconds behind dadge when we went on our last lap, and I guess it was pure luck it was me leading when we finished that lap. Could have easily been franky or dadge.
I wouldn't have minded racing for 10 or 20 more laps, it was that much fun. Well, after the race I noticed I was dead tired, I went to bed minutes after the race, I was that exausted... but happy.

Can't make it tomorrow, final oral exam on monday
So I'd be cool with postponing it

Damn, sorry for not showing up, wasn't feeling that good and completely forgot it :S
Edit: Spain was clearly better and a deserved winner. Still, happy how the German team (note: not "...how we..." - I didn't play) played in this tournament.

He's racing in the ATC League :P
Would be cool if IcyX would come back
While we're at it, maybe we can have our own Munich?
edit: ofc, we'd try to be pc and wouldn't mention it half as much as the English ^^

No problem. Le Mans, F1, World Cup... there's so much to follow anyway
SO will be hard after watching the 24h of LeMans... öÖ
:gnasher:
Holland?! WTF? That being said, I hope England does well.
Don't really get all that Ballack bashing, I like him and think he's a valuable player.
Probably won't make that round :S
Was fun while it lasted, loved the battle with dadge and pingo
Wasn't there a rule that you're not allowed to go over a certain speed and use special tyres? 
TBH that looks as if your whole tyre is over the line :/
