RE: Porsche 917 League - Round 5 - Rouen - Reports - Ricknau - 20-11-2017
Race 1 went well for me. Qualified towards the back but gained a few in the lap 1 skirmishes. Was at P13 most of the race but climbed to P12, then P11, I suppose as some guys made late pits stops. Somehow got P10 on last last lap through nothing I did behind the wheel.
Race 2 I was on pole. Got a fair start but not good enough and lost 2 positions before T1. Was racing there fairly well for about 2 laps when my graphics froze. I hit ESC but the scene came back to life within seconds so I cancelled the ESC. Then a few seconds later my screen went black and ESC did no good. With no visible mouse cursor I could not confirm the ESC. It took several seconds to kill my PC. I could hear lots of cars around me. I hope I didn't take anybody out in my scramble. Sorry if I did.

guys we really have to work on these race starts there are wrecks every week and it ruins a lot of races for people its just not fair to all who race that everything is gang busters on lap 1 both races for me today and for others. It just not fair drive it like you have to fix it guys.
Race one I had damage on three corners of car and it showed on my Hud 62 sec pit stop
Race two after chaos car looked clean and drove just fine I went to pit on lap 8 and had 172 pit stop for damage, very confused.

First race went of tracked and got 10 sec penalty. Whet I left the pit I still had the pit arrow. I checked my HUD and I had got 5 more; race over. Went away and had a race at Daytona. Came back in time for second race, ended up in start crash would not have got back to pits without getting in the way. Back to Daytona.

Qually
Went out early and set a good time for me , tried a couple of times more but could not get a clean lap to improve on it , claimed 4th place so I was happy with that .
Race 1
Got a good start but cocked it all up when I locked my brakes going into the hairpin and hit ED (sorry Ed) that cost me a couple of places , settled down and chased DJ and DH until DJ had a lockup and went wide , chased down DH and proceded to have a good battle but even though I was faster I could not get past , then I had a moments inattention and let the car drift wide into the wall going onto main straight , I hit it hard but stayed straight so got away with it but damaged the car , after that it was not so keen to turn right , went into pitstop and cancelled the repair as it added 30 secs , came out of pits behind Andi and chased him until he spun out at turn 6 then I was behind DH again but could not lap fast enough to worry him , finished 4th .
Race 2
Got a good start and stayed clear of any trouble , I was behind Shannon for a couple of laps and pushing him hard , I got into his draft onto main straight intending to try to out brake him but when I pulled out I hit Lee who was nearer than I thought (sry Lee my fault entirely I was too fixated on Shannon) , fortunately I only lost a couple of places , caught up to main pack again but could see everyone struggling to pass so decided to try for the undercut and a long run on a set of tyres , pitted and came out on a clear track got my head down and concentrated on lapping quickly , places came to me and around lap 12 I momentarily grabbed second place passing Dan as he exited the pits only to throw it away by going wide at the next corner so Dan went past , his tyres were in better condition than mine so I couldnt mount any challenge and just dropped in behind , Ed was 10 sec behind but lapping a lot quicker than me so I decided to just try and stay on the black stuff , fortunately it worked out for me but another lap would have seen ED get me as the tyres had given up . Finished 3rd .

Another great weekend for me.
I reached my goal of top 10 both races, didn't die and didn't kill anyone
Thank you Paul for running things from behind the scenes!
