That was an event, holy ****.lmao Had a blast! Huge congrats to Will for holding off Chris and Oxy the last 30 min or so. Really nice podiums. Just finishing this 95 minute puddle fest in Group C monsters is a pretty incredible.

And you did it without one of my tunes, so maybe they were holding you back lol |

Great racing last guys. I never really found the pace to compete with the front runners but looked to try to keep it clean and hope the conditions would sees others fall foul. Everyone did really well in that first half an hour or so and it looked like I was going to be limited to picking up the scraps but one the conditions worsened it started to get ugly lol. I was fortunate that despite a few spins and mishaps I was able to keep it together and avoid any damage until my strange pit stop doughnut but even then it was not bad enough to force me into an extra stop. That allowed me to push on into the second tier seats behind the podium boys and just bring it home safely with a big gap behind and in front for a solid 4th place to see me close that gap to Sean in the table. Bad luck Sean you seemed to have the rough end of the deal last night. Those puddles were lethal, especially the one at the bottom of the hill at Aque Minerale. I knew from my practice that although the rest of the track would dry enough for softs for the last half hour that puddle alone made it way too risky to go with anything other than the wets. I gained loads of time through the rest of the track but lost it all and more at that puddle every lap so I'm glad I had that one test which was enough to let me know wets were the best way to go to the end. Stream recording will be up shortly, Congrats to Will for a well earned win and to Chris for finally getting the result his pace deserved and Oxy for taking that final podium step. As discussed post race ACC is out before our next scheduled weekend so we'll be looking to run a test race on that on the 27th so head on over to here to put your thoughts down consoleracing.boards.net/thread/669/discussions-events-hold-on-xrf?page=1#post-15780Myself and Sean will discuss how that event will be formed and a sign-up thread will be posted for it. In closing thanks for the support for this little series that Sean came up with. It's been a real treat that's freshened things up nicely with very different challenges each race. We may well come back to it at some point especially if ACC fails to give us what we expect. |

Hi all !!!
Last night was a crazy race !
Driving this cars in this weather conditions was freaking hard !
Q3
R2
Qualy went well, I am sure there were more pace to bz found but was happy with P3.... I knew the race will be a nightmare anyway.
Race startes poorly for me as I really was struggling with the car, mainly on exit slow corner with a massi e oversteer as soon as I touch the throttle.
I decided to fo easy not to damage the car but my pace was very bad. I modified my race set up from the practice we just had ( ride height to be better on standing water and tyres pressures) but it was not better and maybe even worth...
The tyres were cold and the driving was not easy. I had a light contact with thz wall at exit of hairpin and this costed me some suspension damages but luckely I did not have to pit....
This was a big chance for me, as I only made 1 stop for fuel past the halfway mark and did not bother to change tyres ( did not know that it will have been done during fuel...).
After my pit I was P5 or 6, but as the rain stop, I could feel the grip back and managed to be faster and faster lap after lap... I saw the gap the the cars aheas closing and startes to push more.
I manage to take P2 with 10sec gap to Bigwill... I was trying to push but his pace was very good.
I finishes the race less than 4 sec behind the winning car... I was a big suprise for me when I see how it startes and hon much I waw struggling during 2/3 of it...
I will say that it was lucky as a lot of drivers had troubles... but I had no big mistake and the 1 stopped, keeping the wet tyres to the end was good.
With 20 min to go I thought about stopping for slicks but the fact that I was closing the gap to the leaders and beeing not sure what tyres they had on, I stay with wet...
Looking forward to the next event.
Thankx Sean for organizing.
Congratulations to Bigwill for the win !!!

Did anyone else pit for the soft tyres then or was it just me? Think i pitted with about 30 mins left. Dale Rossi Haha yes for once i didn't hassle you for a setup  I pinched Paulo's setup from time trail & made some adjustments for the wet & it worked a treat! |

I pitted for softs and knew it was a risk. 50/50 chance the track would have dried after I took it easy a few laps. But, it never did.lol |

I saw you doing to pit I did not know it was for soft. I think for the next 20 min after your pit, wet were better as I was closing on you.... but for the last few lap the gap was stable and I was not able to close it.... Well play and congrats again for the win!!!! |

As always, bad a blast racing with everyone. I love seeing Will up in p1, as from the time I started racing with you guys around COTA till now, Will has made a HUGE improvement and I can see him being a conistent podium racer.
I apologize to anyone who couldn't particpate with the weather,however it was hard for everyone. Chris finally got his podium after not DCing which is awesome to see because he is fucking rapid. As for Sean and Peter, I appreciate everything you guys do with taking the time out of your days to help facilitate everything and ensure that we all have a good and fair race series at all times.
As far as ACC goes, I will attempt to play it on a controller, however I am not sure how successful it will be. Times are tough for me currently, as taking care of an ill mother and not having the funds to purchase a wheel sucks, im not going to give up on ACC so easily. I have to say,the XRF fam has been awesome to us LSR scrubs and I cannot thank you guys enough for everything. Hopefully I can run some ACC with you guys and be competitive, however if thats not the case, by all means continue the series on ACC. There will be more series for me to join down the road once/if getting a wheel becomes possible for me.
Love ya boyos!

You'll get through it, it's just going to be a kick to the nuts for a while. Looks like ACC is DOA. So we just need to find a date for the next Grid race and we'll be good for a while. |
