Race 3 - Post-race discussion
Sadly we had a relatively poor turn-out tonight with only 11 racers starting and 9 finishing. I was having a good battle with Primoz before I hit a hay bale and rolled my car. Thanks again, to Hannu for racing for vMax in the absence of Rob.

Anyway, here are results from tonight's race:

Hah, was great for me, lots of biological errors:

Lap 7 - hmm, think I need the toilet
Lap 10 - yeah ok, definately need the toilet
Lap 13 - ok, I've got stop, parked up and ran to the toilet... to find the door shut and the light on. I screamed. I ran back to the PC and carried on racing. I'd lost 25 seconds.
Lap 15 - by now toilet was clear, I parked up again, ran to toilet and relieved myself. Probably lost around 90 seconds, didn't want to look at splits that lap.
Lap 23 - a very long drawn out sneeze caused me to throw it into the barrier going onto the oval. Big damage to front left wheel.
Lap 27 (my last lap) - still managed to set a pb (only 5 seconds off the pace, yay).

Plus throughout the race I suffered from hand/feet co-ordination problems - I kept fluffing shifts and even on one occasion pressed the wrong pedal trying to brake into a corner. :S

Fun or what?
9th place

Not a good race for me but it was fun, I also got down into the 2:46s. I think I could've got into 2:45s, I'm not sure.

I think I get point(s) for that 9th place don't I? If so, it's IES's first point(s)

EDIT: Kept crashing whenever I got near Bob - very annoying

I finished the race with about 60% fuel left too.
@Bob: That's the single funniest race report I've EVER seen. Literally laughing out loud...
I must say i'm shocked. I was asked to be a substitute driver when qualify was running...no practice at all..oh Well i jumped in..made a nice qual. and waited for my death on t1...that didn't happened.. i was involved in two incidents and i really don't if that was my fault or i just finished the crash process.

First at t1 - 2 cars in front of me started to spun..as i was closing one car was hit by the lag - don't know if it was mine or someone elses. And second incident took place at chicane entering the oval..i hit the wall and somone (i didn't checked in mirrors) hit me from behind and crashed...i'm terribly sorry for that :/

Next few laps i was watching axus closing to me as i was not constant at all..after about 10-15 laps i found my lines and started to pulling off..from that time i was alone...to the end.. i Finished 4th overall and 1st in lx4...not bad

Best possible laps from stats:
Bob Smith ____ 2:54.53
Leifde________ 2:55.18

We both could have done much better.

Yeah, I'm pretty please with my speed. I didn't do any practice whatsoever for this event so to be only 6 secs off the front-running LX4 isn't too bad
Meh, all in all a good show for me today. Would've been really close if:
A) Didn't get smashed at T1/2ish, lots tons of time
B) After forcing Primoz into errors (at least that's how I see it ) I was holding him off quite nicely for a few laps, slowly but surely pulling off. However, after ever so slightly trimming some grass with the right front tire while pushing out of the final turn I found myself facing Primoz bearing down at high speed. He passed me, and from then it was catchup but I could not catch him. I presume this is when he went on to battle Axus until Anton's "unfortunate" event . At least I got into the 50s with the 4

Would've been great with a full field... slackers

WAIT: It's a miracle! We finished a whole race! :woohoo:

Edit: Anton - check out this photo!

The number-plate says it all.
Kamo me and BBT had that chicane accident (he spun off, i kept it togheter) and i clipped you and spun in the oval. Oh well. You were too fast anyway i think

EDIT: This was my best race in my LFS career to date. I enjoyed it very much plus i drove a new PB more than 2 seconds better than the one i had before.
Well, at the start I came in a bit hot (at hotter than you at least) and just tapped you... We were both fine until Kamo followed suit and hammered my driver's rear , at which point everyone else kept on their merry way while I had a vacation in the sand / grass
When are the standings going to be updated?
