RE: SIM RACERS 4 LIFE - MULTI-CLASSICS SEASON - ROUND 7 - MOSPORT - REPORTS - Ricknau - 28-08-2016
Qualified 7th but within about .3 seconds of P4 time.
Race 1
Got disconnected just as we took to the grid! Man how disappointing! I was hoping it was a mass disco but I guess it was just me. Have no idea what screwed up at my end.
Race 2
Was placed 7th on grid. Had a good start. Got spun at the T3 left hander and spun 360 but had no damage and didn't loss a position... whew! Made a couple clean passes and felt pretty good about my performance. Then on lap 4 I went off on the T2 left-hand crest giving up all my gains and then some! I climbed back to P8 after Dan Bayford and Gorka each had an off. Was still feeling good about my race as I slowly reeled in Oscar on laps 10 and 11. I charged hard in the approach to the hairpin hill. Oscar locked up as i was closing on him. I locked up too momentarily and had to go just a bit left to avoid him. That put me off and into the wall. Heavy damage. 3 1/2 minute repair so I got P10 as last guy running.

Sorry Rick (and as a matter of fact Gorka) for the second race t3 incident i lost it while downshifting (didn't get heel and toe right) which cost both of you lots of time.
report will follow later when rl lets me :o

Its very surprising how tough was to race here, very easy to get damage at almost every single corner.
Qualy: P5 with a medium 23.
Race 1: Went wide exiting T2 while going down, fortunately, I expensed some time training NOT to crash at the walls, so, I was on last position but no damage. Going up and up while almost everybody crashing until I found myself behind Dan Bayford. Unable to pass him, I was pressing hard looking for a mistake, but when it happened, two laps before end, I was to close to Dan, crashing him, anyway I make my way to the finish line on P5 in a very damaged car.
Race 2: No reverse grid, so I start in P5 and managed to keep the position until somebody else crashed (think was Billy Blaze) getting P4 to the end.
Good weekend.

Rick, since you volunteer so often to start a race reports thread, that means you are assigned to it from now on
(you should know better lolol)

Well since you been off laying around the beach (or whatever you've been doing) on vacation I thought I'd help out. But yeah I can do regularly if you'd like me to.

Not a problem. It's not like you were trying a bold move. I can't imagine the difficulty of manual shifting! Tip of the hat to you guys that do that!
