Wohooom all pre-quals had succeed and are in the main qualifing

lol

Except me network problems cannot hold a connection at all totally gutted

Sorry to Gergely - I tapped your rear quarter, normally nothing would of happened, but your lag caused you to spin in race 2.

Arrow, I also let you past down the home straight just in case you wondered, wasnt sure if I squeezed you too tight coming out of the last corner, so I thought "Better safe than sorry" and let you pass, you were much faster than me anyway.

Great stuff anyway. The field for quali was packed. The one good lap I had could of put me to >15th but I nearly rolled it

IMO in the first two rounds the drivers were a little.... over-bearing and over-agressive...

I rolled in Race 3, d'oh!

race three was crap... around me, there were the most position changes... i was 11th at the half mark, then felt back to 16th

first two were great...but third....omg a total disaster....really sorry hoekestra, totally my faul that u rolled at the end. Just that i was so headless because i loosed 5-7 spots with one mistake...

Well, 3rd race was kind of a disaster for me. At the end of 1st lap Rooble hit my back, spun out. (didnt turn on you, i was going straight). Then I started to climb back, 8th lap, got taken out at 1st split, dont really know what kind of move was that. Back to 20th, had to start it from scratch.
Had some nice overtakes, worth watching..

Ooooooh...what a shame monsieur Green only scored in one race.

hang on, the first round i didnt take part at all jack rolls it, hm, curious

I'm happy, I won a race

Comments... what is wrong with people.....

Its a damn lag lap!!!!!!! drive like you don't need to take people out... we are not supposed to be fools!!!!

Second! too many people that have no regard for racing without bumping others off the track...... very sad indeed......

If anyone wants the replays:

http://www.173rd.info/halfords/mpr.zip

Please look at the demo's regarding V.Forizs #365 as I was taken out race 3 and Niels Race one and two.

Good round for me, did quite well if I may say so. Nice combo, if it was AS1 I wouldn't have really liked it, but the reversed made a change, never driven UFR around that way before until today. Nice racing boys, keep it up for next week.

Hmmm comments, well I wanst looking forward to this one tbh. Why, I just dont like Aston tracks. Anyway I dont wanna nag but this is getting annoying. The way people drive, just take people out race by pushing has nothing to do with racing anymore. Very dissapointed

Quote from RevengeR :

Had some nice overtakes, worth watching..

In my replay it shows you at an angle across my right front panel, I simply went straight on (Was already on the edge of the braking strip) and you tried to avoid someone to your right (Blackout I think).

Interesting races and Qualify.

With 2 min left Tony and I were both 16th-20th ish.....

We managed to get up into top 8


Race 1.

Was running 5th then the guy behind tapped me round dropped to 10th, then got tapped again drown to 12th but finished in 9th.

Race 2.
Race was nice and safe, finished 6th behind my Team mate Tony.


Race 3.
Started 3rd, said up with Chris and Sokke for the first 10-11 laps (great battle) and very clean, nice one Sokke, then Franke turned up....

We had a fight down main straight then at Turn one I was leading Sokke. Franke decided to just plough straight thorugh the middle (maybe Frankes version is slightly different :shrug however 2nd and 3rd place in the race were rammed off the road (down to 9th and 10th) , whilst Franke continued un-abaited..... as usual...

Managed somehow to get a decent points haul outta of it and with Tony also collecting lots of points ZWR Slot Car Racers are looking good in the Team championship.

Roll on FE Club

Great racing again,

Well I wasnt fast here really in qualifying but I got a reasonable lap in the session. In the middle of the pack for the races yippee. A couple of days ago I had a flu jab and a pneumonia vaccine thing which knocked me for six so my practice has been short, I was feeling ok to race though, as if a little ache and pain will stand in the way of a baby-r round. pfft. I had a guy coming to view a motor and a friend round half hour before the race. Then my mate got a macdonalds which arrived on the grid of Race 1. Sigh. Good munchies, bad timing. So under a little stress I went into the races, armed with a quarterpounder.

As soon as the race started I had completely lost my focus, I couldnt do good laps, I got stuck on the outside and got passed a lot but every move I made on someone, was defended well and I had to back out or I made an error and had to back out. I struggled to get some places back but only managed to pass some spinners, but some of them gained back on me by the end of the race. Overall no huge big messes and mainly isolated incidents, quite the contrast to south city eh?

Race 2 was worse but the food was eaten atleast. The harder I tried the worse I did. I was being cautious of contact with everyone, lack of practice here meant I was pretty fresh under the collar when it came down to making moves and racing it out for the position. At T1 I was really close to flipping the car, slammed it into counter steer and back on 4 wheels but hit the wall hard and bend the front. Struggled at the back all the way to the finish.

Race 3 I was trying hard again I was luckier on my position but still just wasnt putting in my qualyfying times so was easy pickings overall. But glad I brought the car home again all 3 times.

What the hell are you on about, you make out I came along and intentionally wrecked you when it was no where near as bad. You guys were slowing each other up, I made a move into T1 which would have been successful had I not bumped into Sokke, I tapped him very lightly but you came crashing across and went into him. Had you not dive bombed T1 then perhaps it would have been different, point is I had caught you both at the last turn and was forced to the outside.

You two had hit each other and taken each other out, I only hit Sokke but like I said it was very light and I'm sure if you didn't hit him he would of recovered easily.

So stop this wrecker innuendo bullshit because its completely untrue, the 'Franke continued un-abaited... as usual' part really shows you're talking rubbish. That was probably my worst race to date and you're trying to make out I'm known for this. Lets not forget your silly reversing stunt in Rnd2 which screwed one of my races, I however didn't make a song and dance out of it and you made sure it was forgotten.

Yea roll on to FE club . I like that track although it will be carnage again I think . The nice chicane and the sharp right hander in 3th gear gonna be rollmeister corners. Its time to get a new rollmeister champ.

Oke had a good night sleep after a dreathfull race but forgotten. Lets move on guys. Good luck on FE club . Looking forward to this one.

T1.
I had made a pass on Sokke and it had stuck if you had not hit Sokke then there was plenty of room between Sokke and I (bear in mind that Sokke and I had been racing closely and cleanly for the previous 10 laps)

You tapped/hit Sokke (which you say above) Sokke then collided with me (not his fault as a result of your contact) Sokke and I went off you carried on breaking rule 1.7

Rule 1.7 states that if you cause an accident then you have to give up the places back even if it includes losing several... as far as I see you carried out flat out in 2nd place, whilst Sokke and I went down to 7th/8th and broke this rule.

If i've got the understanding of this rule wrong then I of course apologise.

I was happy enough (from a drivers point of view) at the time that there was an accident between 3 drivers. It was not until after the race when I was in conversation with the Admins that your driving style was 'noted'.

oh well...

i felt pretty convident and was looking forward for the races. This Track is perfect for some nice racing. my times were good to go and qualifying went good. (due to lack of practise from the most drivers i guess)

Race 1: started on 4th but soon lost serveral positions (it was me who tapped u Dru - sryz ) and ended up with a "hug" with someone who just closed the door on the fast righthander. i guess i was in his "death angle" or something and finished 22th or something

Race 2: got rolled by someone while i had to slow down - End of the race

Race 3: was exciting. i started from last and was able to catch some positions. then lost a few and gained some again.
i think i was in the middle field or something as i lagged out....... I never Lagout =/
that was the worst thing after all and really pissed me off.

So pretty disappointing. i thought i can make a few points or at least have some nice racing ...

IF LFSPoints calculated right, everyone scored points + niels1 is auto qualified!

My driving style was fine I made one silly move against Hoiting in the mid section, anything else was purely accidental and could be seen as an accident.

My first incident with Revenger in my opinion was partly my fault as much as his, I could of just run off the track but I would have lost position, also Revenger could have possibly waited before attempting a move at such an awkward position (3 Cars wide in the last turn) If a penalty arises from this then so be it, and again sorry mate I obviously didn't want to take you out I'd of much rather raced with you.

As for the incident between you and Sokke well in my book it seems ok, Yes I tapped Sokke and he or you made contact with one another. Had you not been there Sokke would have recovered easily and you both would of been in the same position. If you watch the replay I had no choice but to continue with my line, Sokke had obviously out braked himself and I saw an opportunity between the both of you. I'm not sure if Sokke had a little more room to play with or if you had enough but I was clearly cut short and I'm aware of that. Also it seems you had enough time or at least enough room to avoid me or Sokke, from the replay it seems you're looking to get back in front of me as soon as possible to block or defend.
