jawohl!

Quote from Mustafur :

How do you get the reputation, i mean ive won 20 races with around the same amount of poles and in season 4 yet im only level 29.

Do you get a big boost if you win the title?

Beating your rival gives you their seat at the end of the year 99% of the time.

Quote from speedykev :

Yeah right.

It's downright easy to be that fast. I got the pole in a BMW Sauber on Monaco with a 1 sec gap to 2nd.

Atleast I made it interesting for the championship this way. Wasn't my intention however so, I'll forget about this weekend and focus on the future races and secure the championship

Session of Inicdent: Feature Race
Timecode of incident: Sector 2 , right after the chicane
Lap of incident: Lap 43
Cars involved: #19
Brief description of protested incident:

I spin in the chicane and want to get out of the way asap. Some guy hits me so I decide to go around the barrier. This means I miss sector 2 split and that's why I am a lap down apparently at the finish which is not the case.

Quote from rc10racer :

I could do it by getting the downshifts right at a certain point can make the rear step out to a certain point where it gets a nice turn in.

Same thing I use. Works like a charm

not amused rikje is not amused

I'm there

Quote from kart-36 :

Awww man
DQ from round 1, fair enough.
DQ from round 2 and 3?
It was a mistake on my behalf, for sure, but the race was red flagged anyway and no trouble was caused. The incident wasnt even protested, it was just brought on by yourself, Deko.
I accept a DQ from round 1, but round 2 and 3 aswell seems a little OTT

I must agree here. Getting disqualified from round one would be a fitting penalty imo. I think that exclusion from rounds 2 and 3 is just too much.

Quote from jamesc :

Here's mine, had no time to clean



Alfa 155 2.0 16V widebody from 1995. It's a great car and drives like a dream. I'm Addicted!
A lot of parts are changed but there is still a lot of work to be done. The previous owner neglected the maintenance...
It's stock except the Yellow Koni's and Aphex springs. Done by H&S Corse last year


Your car is my goal, it's mint! I already saw that video It's... arousing

H&S were the guys that did the 3.0 swap. Great lads and they really have a lot of knowlegde about these engines. I like your 2.0 btw just add some QV skirts and nice wheels and it will look great! We also have a 2.0 16v and they are really fun to drive. They miss the power of the 3.0 obviously but the revving makes it a really fun car to drive

Quote from jamesc :

Rikje, A 155 V6 normaly has a 2.5. Is it a Savali engine? Because they are very rare. I've got to clean mine and I will post it here also.

haha no not a savali.

The engine comes from an Alfa Romeo Spider. It's a 3.0 12v with high compression pistons and different camshafts. The bhp on the frontwheels is somewhere around 230bhp.

Here's a short clip of my brother driving the 3.0 on Zandvoort

Edit: didn't even see your previous comment!

Quote from jamesc :

Very nice! Is your car lowered? Your brother did a good job keeping it clean!
I drive a 155 to! But is a 2.0 16V widebody from 1995. The best car i've ever driven! It's a shame you rarly see them nowadays.

You should check out this website, you can find a lot of information on the forum about this beautiful car.

Yep the car is lowered using FK Könisport suspension kit. It makes the car handle much better. Post some pics of your Alfa too, because these beautiful cars deserve some attention haha I'm aware of the artc155, in fact I'm already registered there for quite some time

Quote from BastianB :

But i´m sure the fun you have driving this thing makes you forget the money you have to spend on the fuel

Well I don't think I've spent a single moment behind the wheel without smiling. My brother once said that you don't just take it for a drive, you take it out for an adventure and I can see why he said that. Everytime I take it for a spin I get surpised. The power of the engine, the sound it produces and the whole feel of the car is just amazing. Sure it has it's typical Alfa problems like malfunction lights. Sometimes the indicators don't work, the solution for that is putting on your hazard lights for a moment and everything works again

Quote from BastianB :

Lol at your brother for switching from that to an evo..

he said he regret the swap already But I can see why he wanted to sell it thought. A full tank costs me about 100E and with a 3.0 v6 you can imagine it doesn't run that many kilometers on a tank either.

Quote from Töki (HUN) :

Is it yours now? Your brother gave it to you? Looks mint.

Depends what you call by "giving" The crazy guy decided he wanted a new car and bought a NEW Punto EVO. I couldn't see that alfa just being sold to some weirdo so I bought it.

My car, I guess there are less attractive cars to drive

Quote from Migz :

The thread was not ridiculous, his car was being made for SHOWS, not for driving. So what if it was unsafe? Its not being driven.

What's the point of having a car you can't drive? I don't think I'll ever understand

Quote from nikopdr :

sorry to Rik and Sascha. Altough it was funny everyone trying to rejoin track and just hitting eachother yet again

haha yeah, I was trying to let you guys recover first before I rejoined but I was in such a rush that I forgot I was blocking your way

Quote from audimasta :

Sorry guys but i cant make the race tonight. Good luck to all of you. Sorry Rik

Was already wondering were my competitor was. Well I had a decent run with your teammate so I guess that makes up for you being absent Hopefully I'll race you next round?

Short summary of my race. I thought the event was going to start an hour later than it was so when I joined I was taken by suprise. Managed to set a decent lap and got p2.

Sprint race was fairly dull. I took the lead right after th green dropped and just kept a safe race pace that wasn't too much on the limit. I had some trouble with my rear tyres which seemed to burn up if I tried to push a little harder.

Top 9 reversed meant I started from 9th. I tried to get to the front as fast as I could but collided with feuerdrache and spun. Lost a lot of time there but managed to fight myself back into the top 5. I saw feuerdrache spin in the turn I was approaching and for some reason Niko decided it was time to spin aswell. I tried to pass both of them on the outside but in the rush and adrenaline run I misjudged my speed and punted both drivers off(sorry!) I waited for them to recover and continued my road to the front once again. I got into a good pace and caught up to p3 again when in the last few laps feuerdrache spun once more.

Thanks once more NDR for running the event. And obviously thanks for all the drivers for participating!

Quote from Mustangman759 :

deko thought id notify you that [Drunk]matti's time is invalid he only had 20 rest
niki's time is valid though

hmm interesting since I haven't been able to get on the track without the 25% intake restriction?

Just noticed there is a difference between the two layouts. The online version and the one posted here are different from eachother. Which will be used for the event?

Quote from Mustangman759 :

think my best so far is 47, if anyone wants to share sets feel free :P

Best advice, slow in fast out. I found out I took way too much speed into the corners and I lost almost 2 seconds just because of that Optimize your lines and use a bit of trailbraking and a 45 is the outcome !

Best of luck
