BT20 LEAGUE - ROUND 7 - MONACO - REPORTS

[Ricknau]

Race 1 went well for me, P3! Woo hoo! That's like a win! Made two safe passes for position on lap one. Gained three more spots due to offs by others. Over all a very satisfying race. (Though I did tap Santiago in the final hairpin mid race. Wasn't trying for a pass, just braked late and skidded. Sorry Santigo, hope it didnt cause you damage.)

Race 2... ARRGH! I hate the #$#&^% pit lane rules! Hell, what are the rules!? What is the "pit lane"? Got several stop and go's! Did just (I thought) what I did in race one for my pit stop. But "no", take a penalty. So I stop for the penalty then creep way down the line until the white line stops, then gun it. STOP and GO again! What? So I stop again... and this time it does a regular pit stop, like 50sec. When done I pull directly but slowly out onto the race line (out of the pits I figure) then gun it. The stop and go I just did doesn't count and it adds another one on top of that. What a bunch of crap. I stop again but loose any desire to continue so I quit.

BTW, I thought I'd see if it would let me take the two penalties back to back. So when the first 10 seconds expired I pressed my pit button again and it did a full tire change pit stop. That's when I said "screw it".

Rick, no problem sir, very good race.

My worst course. Sprained ankle. Needed points, so I figured I'd jump in and just to finish.

P5 both races. Quite a surprise.

Tobias, sorry for what appeared to be a flying divebomb in the jump. My wheels locked up and tucking inside was the only option to keep from ramming you and potentially ending your race.

That is bad luck Rick. If you go to our 'Rules and Regulations' section you can find out how to pit at this track along with other tracks that are difficult to pit at. http://www.simracers4life.com/forum/inde...onaco.764/

I had a good two races, no crashes. In practice I was crashing in the harbour every other lap so happy all ok in the main races. The rubber on the night helped a lot.
Dave Coyne was on fire in race 1, well done for the win.
I had good battles in race 2 trying to overtake the reverse grid. Dave Coyne pitted very early at lap 3 while I remained on track battling with cars. I had good battle with Daniel Tani, there was no way passed him. I pitted at lap 14 and jumped passed him when he pitted next lap for me to take the lead and win.


One race left, CU all at Nords.

Well here we go. Race 1 I bumped Shannon and spun him because I could not get stooped so I tried to be a gentleman and waited for him to pass me, some others had issues so I finished behind Shannon in 6th not bad.
Race 2 I was trying to stay ahead of Rick I think it was and on lap 3 or 4 going into turn 1 I had a brain fart and downshifted too far sent my car into wall up in air down on top of Rick (sorry) then up over the fence and I was done. Sorry to all I screwed up I really do try not to.
