well. you could say that this went pretty smooth. I took the 1rst turn, 2nd turn, made a 180 without touching anybody, then tried to turn back into the right way and bumped head first into the guard rail. around 40 seconds of race. hurray me

To those that finished the race, well done a tricky one. I must admit that i allways felt that the car was ready to flip over. Not nice for 50 laps. Well done to the winner. If anyone saved the replay would they b able to send to me thx.

I took the 1rst turn, 2nd turn, made a 180 without touching anybody, then tried to turn back into the right way and bumped head first into the guard rail. around 40 seconds of race. hurray me yes, I felt very sorry for you when that happened. I'd been practicing previously today together with Mathei and Cramer, and I knew that Mathei was clearly faster. So, no surprise, he pulled away little by little in the beginning. Then he made a small mistake, so I managed to pass him and stay ahead for a few laps. Then I saw his car getting bigger and bigger in the mirror, so I backed off a little and let him past before T1. No need in trying to fight the inevitable. But then, a while later, he crashed. And soon there was only Cramer and me left. In a situation like that it's really quite difficult to drive.. I was afraid that if I slowed down too much I'd loose my rhythm and crash because of that. So I decided to keep going and hope for the best. I had a few near death experiences, but thankfully I managed to pull it off. The clutch pedal saved me a few times though, I think.. I'd learnt during practice that this car would get awfully unstable on the grass!

I had a nice race... and even when my 3rd place was secure.. I also did not try to slow down to much.. but indeed a little bit of grass on the same place of XT and I was of to the barrier.. Problem with this car is that it is very unrealistic on the barriers and even on a slow 50km/h I was of into the sky... Game over and this in lap 38 for me... If I had made it on to lap 40 I would have got my 3rd place because I would have raced 80% of the race.. Not this time.. dammed But hey I have improved my pb 3 times and went in the high 1.17

One of the toughest races so far for me, because the race went well the first half of the race. The start was terrible, because suddenly my sound got very low, when we had to start of and i had to go into the settings to higher the sound volume. I lost a lot of positions there, because i didn´t get away because of this problem. But soon after, I was in a comfortable 3rd position after Matthei and Gnomie and Hanziboy following in 4th. I expected(hoped) to be more stabile than the others, because it is one thing I normally am with a decently pace..(1.16-1.17-1.18). So I was just waiting for Matthei and Gnomie to crash. They were faster, so that was my only chance. I had a good rhythm untill my daughter came and wanted to talk to me in the middle of the first corner. Immediately I got distracted and my car fllipped, but landed on the tyres very damaged. Then I slowly managed to get back to pit..some spins included and grasswalking. After here, also my girlfriend wanted to interupt and I couldn´t have my rhytm back. I drove nervously in the last half of the race, but managed to go to the end in 2nd position after Matthei had crashed and because Hanziboy, who passed me because of my accident, also got stranded. The last part of the race with only me and Gnomie left on the track, was more a psyclogical thriller about, who will make the big mistake..but no one ever did. If you think, it was just to cruise it home, you are badly mistaken. I was very nervous all the time, because my rhytm and the flow was gone. So I´m pleased with 2nd after all. Difficult conditions to drive in..phew!!! Very big gratulations to Gnomie. The right winner!
