Sorry for the late notice. Event I'm at ran long, and probably won't be back for the green flag

An engine blow up after 12 laps!  I was running quite slowly and had done plenty of full tank runs before.  I had only used low boost. |

Short race, got sideswiped by a car moving to a lower lane.

Engine without prior warning blew. I guess my laps alone trying to use the slipstream of Thiago was too much, guess you can't get away with that now...

Eldon and I are very happy with a 7th place finish at Michigan. Funds are low so not sure if we will be competing at more races this year.

My connection was lost, but after that I've looked into WLAN card properties and found that "Let system go to energy save mode for this device" box was ticked. Hopefully that will bring more reliability to my internet connection. Big thanks for Alberto for help with setup - car is flying again  Congratulations to all of the finishers, as always it was great racing. Thank you for the excellent broadcast. See you next round. |

Exciting race today!
First I want to apologize to Austin and Alberto for the contacts, I couldn't do anything to avoid them, besides being in a blind spot of my vision in the car. Sincere apologies, I don't usually throw anyone off the track. I only realized that I had these contacts watching the race broadcast.
I wanted to understand what happened at the start. I did the seventh time in qualifying but at the start I was in 19th place. Have I been punished? For what reason? I only took 2 timed laps, not exceeding the lap limit.
As I said, it was an exciting race, a shame that I fumbled at the second pit stop and then lost my car around the corner and crashed. Still, sixth place fell right into my lap.
Congratulations to Thiago for the brilliant victory and Jonatan for the always excellent transmission of the race.

I only took 2 timed laps, not exceeding the lap limit. I believe you left the server and came back in during warmup, which may have caused a hiccup of some kind. Please try to stay on the server next time. |

Awesome race.
I was very lost on Saturday when I realized my old Michigan setup wouldn't work in the new patch. I could use only 30% of the old one.
I was expecting a 2nd maybe 1st row based in the server times. When I put my 1st lap and saw I was only 0.06 from pole I tried my best in the second lap using every inch of track available.
I had a good start and Cezar did and great job by not fighting during the stint. Quickly we opened a big gap to 3rd place. Unfortunately the yellow came and all the hard work was wasted. When Cezar was behind the pacecar something happened and he hit the wall by himself, that's why the additional pitstop.
The second stint wasn't what I imagined. The car was fast, 36.2 with full tank and I thought Brian would just follow as Cezar did but he wanted to be ahead and the pace dropped 0.4s. The 4th place was closing the gap to us at some point. At least the fight was great!! A lot of fun, I think we overtook each other 10 times or more between lap 50 and 67.
The car had the pace in clean air so in the second pitstop I tried to get a good gap to Brian and Jaques and avoid any battle. Everything went fine after that, gap went up to 20s and engines started to explode and people retiring. I was putting less rpm in the engine in the end just to make sure nothing could happen with the car.
Great race from everybody. Very surprised with the amount of retirements!!
Congratulations to Jaques and Jason!!
Thank you ISO. Thank you Jonathan/Alberto for the broadcast!
PS: Very nice work in the physics Wilks!!

This Race went way, waaayyy better than expected! Until it didn't  Was shocked to be running around in top 3, strangely we were a full lap ahead of 4th place while making final stop. Sorry to see CCski drop out before that. He was reeling us back in for a while, and I hoped he would join us and cause some more trouble!! Was pretty happy to settle for 3rd place but I misread a nasty 2-car pileup up ahead and, BANG, instant Flight Sim. Don't know whats up with this Championship and me? I've thrown away a lot of points this season!!  I keep complaining to USAC man about yellows, no yellows, etc... He keeps responding, USUK!  Conversely, Really happy for Jason White's top 3 finish!! I know he digs these cars, and he's a big reason why we are able to sim in them at all  |
