I will note that Bruno, Luciano, and Amaral's cars were ALL over the track during that run. I don't mean driving wise, I mean their cars were moving across the track and such. Amaral's was the worst as he was disappearing for quite a bit of time and then re-appearing. The worst was for nearly a full lap at one point.
Those were just the ones I could see.

yeah disco too, bad luck. Lot of practice for my race set, very disappointing
cars were moving for me too (ping?). It was dangerous to drive because the cars were moving under braking

No disco here but I developed a stutter that made driving impossible. Race started well enough but the stuttering just got worse over time.

Unlucky with the discos. Too many spins spins from me (about 4), once when the cars in front suddenly brake and I had to slam on my brakes. I made the fuel easy this time and was able to turn up the boost towards the end of the race and that kept John Thim behind me, sorry to see you spin John. My tyres were really worn at the end. A tiring race but I'm glad to finish 7th. Well done Richard  , Thiago and Vadim. Thanks for the broadcast I'll watch it soon.  |

Extremely tiring race.
My car was damaged right at the beginning of the race by Pagiola's double tap and with a very high ping, it became a survival race, unable to do the laps below 1 minute and 4 seconds.
I tried to give as much space as possible to those who put laps and laps ahead of me.
A race to forget.

Well this was my first simrace in almost 3 years so I'm happy to just finish while seeing 8th at the end as a huge bonus  I did about 4 spins on the grass tonight, losing quite some time. Also while getting out of the pits after my first pitstop I banged the wall a bit which damaged my left behind making it a bit tricky to drive costing me a few tenths per lap. Sorry for one of the Thim guys which I punted at a slow corner  Gratz to Richard for the win and all finishers! |

Oh man, my first race here! I remember watching some videos on YT (I think they were from Grant) and really want to race here. I'm really sorry for the guy I forced off when I spun in the start, rears locked and off I went. Spun 5 times, finished 16th from 24th (not great not terrible). The last 40 laps were very lonely, but to quote a certain Mr. Nixon, I am not a quitter. It's 40 °C plus here in Rio, so it was really hard to do something, kept in the 1.04s and stayed there to the end. Congrats to the finishers!

yes congrats to the finishers!! Richard great win seemed to be out in front in a league of your own lol.. I started this race with the perfect mentality, just finish and be clean... By the second pit stop I had decided to try and make some track position this time, was pushing hard and drove straight out on cold tires too fast, over the curbs and into the wall like a rookie LOL.. Live and learn, otherwise the racing I did have and the traffic I did pass all went very smoothly, good job on what felt like a pretty narrow track to me everyone! I'm still getting used to the driving in ams1, watch out for me in the future fellas and BIG thank you to the organizers, broadcast and mod team!

A tough race, Portland certainly requires your full attention. Had a poor start and David Jaques managed to get the jump on me. Found out then that overtaking here is a nightmare with no big braking zones. Made a mistake coming out of the first chicane and lost a couple of positions, so had to settle back into the rhythm, luckily the car was great so i was able too. Managed to take the lead after a slight error from David leading onto the back straight (Was helped there by Vadim's spin and Grant's Disco) and then I just tried to settle into a groove, pitstop came as planned, but then i had another spin as the tires were heating up, this enable DJ to get back ahead after the stops. Caught back up with him again and managed to get past when he made a slight error at the last chicane. From then on i just tried to look after the engine and try and make the fuel targets. The second stop came and went with no issues and from then again just more of the same . Good racing with DJ with the short battles we had. Sorry to all of those who had Disco's. Thanks again for the setup help from Anders and Wilks. Francisco Amaral, your ping was rather high and you kept warping about on the track. Thanks to the backmarkers too, 95% of you were excellent. Congrats to all finishers and Thiago (Great job getting that T86 up there) and Vadim (Nice recovery) on the podium finish. See you at the next one. |

Grant snatched pole...mothe...great lap mate  . Start uneventful. Blasting. Car very creepy on cold tyres. Grant discoed then along other ppl. - so unlucky guys... Had a brainfart into the first chicane while being in P1. Had to let half the field go past. GREAT. A good recovery drive followed and with a lot of luck and a decent strat I ended up in P3. Tyre model is brutal. I will message certain people about their behaviour under a blue flag I think. Was rather awful today. Track was modelled beautifully. Thanks to whoever did this. Gratz to Coxon, Canola, all finishers and our saviour. Looking forward to watching the stream! |

Great Race with a beautiful and huge grid of 29 cars. In a patience race I could grab some more points.
It could be better if I didn't make a mistake befor the last pitstop when I forgot to stop on the right lap and had to slow down for one more lap in the left fuel. Im this process i forgot to set the right tires and left the pits with old and very used tyres, so I had to stop again for tyres.
I had good fights, specially in the first half of the race against Pagiola, Hackman and Iquino.
Without that I could finish at least near Iquino and with some luck and without 2 spins early in the race, a 9th could be possible.
About my conection, I was suspecting of some problems, but today you borught sure to me. In my vision everything is ok, so just with feedback I could be aware of that. I need to contact my internet provider for better quality as soon as possible.
Sorry for any problem I cause to someone. I tried to let everyone goes by but the connection issue could have been a problem.

Happy to jump in a car at last minute, went better than expected
Wanted to stay involved with the pack up ahead but, when I made my first stop the tire crew didn't seem to recognize me and didnt change the tires. So had to pit again the very next lap.
This made for a pretty lonely race the rest of the way.
Can't complain, pace was good, as was the result with some luck...
Really sorry for the discos that happened in the first part of the race. And to the late engine failures. Really sucks!
See ya soon

I also had many nice battles, especially with Oscar Thim and Francisco Amaral.  I spun a pair of times, but the most irritating thing was the fact that I had to pit twice in 2 laps because I didn't realize that you had to select yourself the other tires for the next stint  And by the end I also didn't calculate fuel correctly and because I was on just about 4 liters a lap i had like 40 to 50 liters left on my tank at the end of the race without exceding fuel limit. I was on a very low pressure because I did not want to overheat the engine. Very fun race, and looking forward to the next one  |

Couldn't ask for more!
I was so afraid of T1 that I even considered start from the back, but after noticing that the grid had 29 cars I changed my mind. Somehow I found 0.7s in my qualify lap compared to what I had practiced in the morning, but still 0.6s shy from the from runners.
It was well above my expectations a 5th place in grid.
I had my plan for the race so I didn't fight too much in the beginning. Anders was faster, so was Cezar. I struggled with my shifter early in the race, I had no confidence from jumping from 5th to 3rd at the chicanes, I had even engaged 1st once but I pushed the clutch in time. (omg)
I was able to get rhythm and closed the gap to Anders before the pitstop. After the 1st pitstop it was a very lone race. Vadim came close around lap 80, it was about 1s difference but I was able to control the gap until the end of the race.
Richard was untouchable in this race and Vadim came close after been +20s behind. Well done guys!!
Thank you for the broadcast Jonatan and Alberto.
See you guys next race.
(sorry for the disco folks. It could had been even more interesting with you guys in the mix)
