My race was good until lap 16. I reiterated good times / PB with lot of fuel (50L) in each lap. I maked some little mistakes but I m not losing to much times. At lap 16, I was deconcentrated and touch a little the gras in rapid turn.. My car was crashed into the wall. Fortunately I can set out and go to the pit to repair the car and refuel.. In my outlap, I was not comfortable with the car and make exactly the same mistake than the last lap.. This time I was not able to set out of the sand. RACE OVER Need more concentration next sunday! I hope the race was good for you guys !

.....In my outlap, I was not comfortable with the car and make exactly the same mistake than the last lap.. This time I was not able to set out of the sand. RACE OVER It was a practice race so you could have used the safety car procedure ! Read more here : belsimracing.proboards45.com/index.cgi?board=rules&action=display&thread=178I do hope this practice helped you for next week. I had a very good race. Made not a lot of errors, but in the third an final stint I did made a lot.. mostly again of watching to much to other things then the road and a less concentration due to pain in the back and brain starting to faint.... After all a successful practice.. The only one not lapped by flying Jyeutsch..

My practice race went about as good as could be expected. Despite putting myself in the kitty litter twice, almost didn't get out one time, I had a fairly successful race. I started getting more comfortable with the combo, learning how much or how little brakes I could get away with without going off the road or slowing down too much. As I learned my brake points, my lap times started to slowly come down to a respectable area, for me. I will never be as fast as you guys using wheels & pedals, but I'm pleased with my overall performance. But like others have said, nearing the end of the race on my last stint, mistakes were starting to take a toll. Plus, the screen was getting blurry and my arm was getting tired. But I made it to the finish, even though I was 4 laps down. Jyuetsch looks like the driver to beat next week, I won't be the one to beat him though. Good job on your win J !!! Cya on the track

.... Spin those wheels guys !!! Oh have I been spinning some wheels, lol. I've only sat in the BF1 a few times before this. I can't do a solid 20-30 laps without putting myself into a wall somewhere. I always go to far at some point and mess it up. I'll keep trying though! ;D Sorry I missed the practice run, I was on a holiday. I'll be there Sunday though. Hopefully I'll go the distance. ;D

I managed to get my 20 laps in, but I won't be at the race; this is a camping weekend for me. Those were not 20 consecutive laps either. About every 5 laps or so I'm in the kitty litter or the wall.

My race report: Well, now I know one thing I forgot to practice: STARTS! I got a good quali position, but that didn't matter at all since I screwed up the start so bad. Well, whatever. The fast guys ran away at once of course, and I found myself pretty much alone. I soon got into the rhythm, doing lap after lap after lap. And I have to confess, this was the first LFS race in a long time where I was actually bored. Something just feels wrong with this car/track -- it feels so dead. You can just hold the exact same wheel angle through a whole series of corners without any consequence. When the only "excitement" is whether you are able to hit the apex perfectly again and again and again it just get dull in my opinion. LFS really needs bumpier tracks! Well, about halfway through the race or so I was about to be lapped by someone, and apparently I watched my mirrors a little too long in the first 90 degree right-hander. And WHOOOPS!! there I hit the tyre stack. My car was a mess, and I had to limp all the way back to pits to get it repaired. So that was the end of my race, really, but I decided to continue.

that whole race was a joke for me. - poor set up - not enought pratice (read too much work) - tired by the couscous and red wine from the afternoon - smashed out of the track at turn one - busted suspension at lap 12 or so - enter pit to repair suspension but repair is set on "no" - have to do a full lap with busted suspension - manage to drive a few laps and stay out of the way (bored indeed) - enter pits for fuel as I only have enough for one more lap and lose one position doing it - crash into pit lane, well done - race is over I didn"t need to fuel I could have finished the race with what I had left. bad mojo
