Nice pictures! Sadly I wasn't able to repeat my victory from the test race. But I was quite pleased with the race nevertheless -- I had many laps in the 55:65-55:99 range, which is where I should be. However, even though I was pushing quite hard, Bluebird kept increasing his lead lap by lap. After ~ 35 laps I realised it was lost, and I focused on not making errors. Luckily I came through all right. A pity that only 4 racers reached the finish line. I'll have a look at the replay later to see what happened. Any major accidents? All in all, though, for me it was a good race. Grats to Bluebird for the victory and Dcke for his first race! Hope to see you both throughout the league.

it was fun as long as it lasted lol.
I knew i wasn't the fastest and because someone else crashed during qualify and ruined my hotlap i had a very bad starting position. But i hoped to make up a few places by being consistant.
I allready made up 1 spot and was looking for 2 more when the 2 cars in front of me collided taking me out with them. Problem was that i was on the raceline and i had no idea how to get off that line as soon as possible. In my hurry to clear the track i bumped into a guardrail and since this stupid MRT has no reverse it was "race over" for me. I tried to free myself but i burned the clutch by doing so.
Bummer. Nothing i could do about this... Up to the next race. And this time the cars will have a reverse gear ;D

Yeah, the MRT is very unforgiving with the lack of a reverse gear. Is the replay up yet? I forgot to save it myself. I'd like to see what happened that caused so many racers to abort the race. :/

Congrats to the winners/finishers! I almost made it to the half-way point, but a little brain fade hit me on the last turn and I couldn't get turned around without stuffing my nose into the wall. I sent hanzi my replay, so he should have it up soon. IMHO Sennaboy got wrecked, which you were caught up in Mum. [FRT]Swammy bumped the outside wall, then proceded on, but he kept moving left and Sennaboy didn't have anywhere to go. That's just my take on what happened.

Congrats to the winners/finishers! I sent hanzi my replay, so he should have it up soon. Yes, just done some accountency and arrived back home ..now 02:34 ni the morning. I had to watch the replay again for the incidents about Dcke, Sammy and Forca. The replay can be found in the calender, just click on the first race. My Race.... my qualify was bad....not like last week, when I had the second position. But nothing to worry about it is a long race so I can make up a lot of places. And during the start I already made up one place with OLD_Mumhra but at corner one, the first network problems were there and LFS almost freezed up completely, so I braked to hard and OLD_Mumhra passed me again. One of the floolowing laps I've made an error on the last turn and Dcke was verry close to me and came next at me at my left. I knew he was somewhere there so I did not close the norner on him but i did that a little bit to mutch and went to wide at that corner, lost grip and was going into oversteer.. touching his real wheel a little and i stoot still in the corner. But with a lot of moves I could free it (watch the replay) and with a half red cluthc I could continiue the race. I could not give it 100% trottle yet because i had to cool down the clutch first to gif it a 100%. I say OLD_Mumhra and was going to give him a little help but he was gone until I made it back to him the reason he was ther was indeed a collision between Sennaboy and sammy. Sammy hitted the right wall and driove back to the very left of the circuit..Leaving Sennaboy nowhere else to go. His move caused Game over for Sennaboy, OLD_Mumhra and himself.. And the pitty was he thought Sennaboy was to blame . And this brings me to RULE number ONE..during race quiet. No matter what happens ..Quiet. You may say a short sorry or no promen( np). Or like I did , warn racers there is a problem after corner . But that's it. after the next collission of me and Forza..thr also was to much communication. I also should kept quiet.. . Always watch the replay first before reacting on the forum or race (forbidden) And as last ..my collision with Forza. So when my clutch cooled down I could again push the trottle to 100% without heating up the clutch. And so I could unlap myself with Scatter and whas closing really fast on Forza. He mad a little mistake and I was close to him before the sharp left turn unther the bridge. There he braked between the 100 and 50 sign to 112 km/h. and I could not avoud him. I checked the brake point of every other racer (replay) and all ar having there brake point at the sign of 50 or even after the sign of 50 (juietsch and gnomie). And because I've closed very fast on him due to his error made before I had no clue he was braking a lot earlier then the rest of the feeld. I've send him a quick sorry. And he was indeed made..( I hope he has forgiven me meanwhile). Was it my fault ?? Yes, I ran into him.. Was it on purpose, no.. ofcourse not.. Could I have seen this comming ?? Not in this situation were I had not driven many laps behind him. And learned his braking point when it was to late. I appologize again.. Everyone on season one can confirm I try to be 100% clean as an admin should give the excample.. But i guess such things happen..also in real live, as forza should know (Real live racer) I could continue my race, but feld so bad about it..that I had to comment on the angry comments of forza. yes I also should not be giving comments back.. but I thought this was so rude not to answer.. And so typing and driving does not go hand in hand..And the whall came closer and closer..Game over. Although I would not have made it to the end because I had 2 time outs till the end of the race in spectator mode.. We (admin) knew this would be a verry challenging race with an unforgiving track, not pit and an unforgiving car (fragile and no reverse) and so we've ended from 12 tot 4. For me a race to forgett. I do hope Forza will rejoin next race and does not jumps into conclusions. This was propably the badest race of the season . Also when Sammy watches his replay, I think he will watch the replay before giving comments during race Cu all on track were we can taste the new car in competion for the first time!! Hanziboy

Hi all,
IMHO Sennaboy got wrecked, which you were caught up in Mum. [FRT]Swammy bumped the outside wall, then proceded on, but he kept moving left and Sennaboy didn't have anywhere to go. That's just my take on what happened; Yes Slo_scatter what can i do about it. They blame me but i dont think its my fault. I always wonna be drive clean, so i know that if its was my fault i will say it. Now it was the first race after they drove me of past championship, and again it was me and they blame me again.I dont won't that hans give swammy a penalty next race somtimes nuts happens.
greets sennaboy

I watched the replay from both Senna and Swammy's point of view, and I agree that it was Swammy's fault. When he bumped the wall he should have kept to the right, because he knew that Senna was on the inside (even if he didn't check his mirror just then, he still should have guessed because Senna was on the side of him before the corner) Well, nuts happens I guess. It was only the first race, there's plenty more to come.

.I don't want that Hanziboy gives swammy a penalty next race somtimes.. nuts happens.greets Sennaboy No I had no intention of doiing so. Exspecially not after the first race . It is only if some racers put them in the spotlight like that every race... But I also think that was a rookie manouvre.. If you hit the wall, you should know you've slowed down and the change there is someone beside you is very large !. And again please no comments before evaluating the replay of the incident !.

I watched the replay several times in super slow-motion mode, and Sennaboy was in no way at fault. So you are not to blame.
Race 1 was indeed a difficult race to start the season, but that's how it goes. Time to move on and prepare for the next race with the new FBM.

oddly enough I for once stayed out of trouble during the race I did not watch replay (yet) and blocked messages during race so I have about no idea about what happened. I had a close race with J. and was giving all I had to try and catch him on the end untill my mind went sideways about who was that very nice fellow who got out of the way in a so polite manner while being lapped and I should see his name to thank him after the race and whambam I found myself facing the rail. stuck. for a second I valued the idea that both 1st and 2nd coming thru the blind turn could bump into me, make me free and destroy their cars, then J would crash into theirs and I would win the race. but I entered pits before they came in that turn instead too bad. lap 37 !

Hi A bit of text from my side here. First of all sorry for my english… Hope that everyone can understand what I try to say I watched the replay and it’s a bit of both racers fault… I went back on my raceline, I thougt that I had enough time and space for that and Sennaboy from his side thought that he could pass me. To bad that this was the end of the race but I would like to keep on racing and I hope I don’t get a pennalty for this. Me and Sennaboy had a talk and the problems are solved so… On to the next race and hope for a good season? Ps: gratz to the ones that finished

I was just behind both you guys and i also think noone is to blame. Normally Swammy should've known that Sennaboy was going to try and pass him there so he shouldn't have closed the door. On the other side there was enough room to close the door. The normal rule is that from the moment the first car only has to let the door open if he is less then half a car length in front and he still was further in front so he was in his right by closing the door on the 2nd car. I got in trouble because of the crash between those 2 but i don't blame them at all. Looking back at the replay i should've solved it better but in the heat of the race i didn't. Let's just classify this as a racing incident which sadly do happen. One lesson maybe can be learned from this. Don't start blaming eachother immediately. Look at the replay a few times. Give yourself the time to cool down first and after that start discussing what exactly happened. btw Hans.. thnx for trying to help me out but i had no use at all. My clutch was completely in red so putting me back on the track would not have helped me out a lot

Hi all, I dont watched the replay, but I also dont want to say something about the crashes. I hoped only that more racers would have finished. The two first racers for bluebird and gnomie were worth to get this result without any bad contact and so I can live fantasticly with my 3rd place. btw I´m a very lucky 3rd placer: 1. half an hour before the start of the quali, my pc dont wanted to run, grafic problems! But I only had to move the card off and on again and it worked. ;D 2. 15 min. after the finish I moved in from the balcony and said to my gf: "So" (because I liked to say, that I wanted to take my shower now) and in this moment all light and all electric switched off! We were out of electricity for more than 45 min. So you can see, I´m a very lucky 3rd! For the new season I wish to see every race such kind of quantity of racers! CU soon! J (or Jyuetsch)
