The #4 Ferrari, #19 BRM and #38 Maserati are now available as one offs due to their drivers not confirming their presence. If they confirm their presence before their cars are claimed, they will still be allowed to race.

I had never noticed, at least not as much, these oscillations that cars make in a straight line...probably to simulate instability at high speed! But this happens not only at low speed but in an unrealistic way...! Here can be accentuated by the long straight line, but still! Am I the only one to be embarrassed ?  |

I turned down my Force Feedback slightly because to get rid of that effect.

I'm out of this race. Computer gremlins playing up again.
I managed to get on the server once but the gremlins interfered and crashed the game and now it won't start. I'll have to verify the install and try again but its going to take too long to make the start of the race (I think).

Decidedly, no luck yet with these cars !  Moreover the game decided tonight to do what it wants  with the display of the Hud, which destabilized me ! I started by losing the temperature engine information, then during the race the map too, and just a little over rev and hop, finished |

I parked the Cooper after bending the suspension. Its behaviour became very unpredictable so I reckoned it safer to stop, rather than take someone else out.
It was great fun up to that point though. Some lengthy fights with Jundt, Del piccolo, Fredriksson, ... The car wasn't much good on the straights but it was a delight through the corners. After failing to avoid Jacob's spin I had to go flat out to catch up again. Unfortunately I struck a barrier, collected a puncture and damaged the suspension, which led to my retirement.

That was some real good racing, Juha. My problem is that I work every other Sunday, felt a bit spent after this week, and my driving showed (compared to last week where I had all the motivation in the world). My driving was good, but made one mistake too many. Had already bent the car, but that second spin which also implicated Juha was the final drop.
Fun stuff, looking forward to Spa AF!

Great race Bruno.  I just got my old computer working before the race start, no setup, no testing, I just managed about half a lap to try and set the gears. Starting from the back I didn't expect much but had lots of fun racing with the people around me. Unfortunately Windows decided that it need to update even when updates are turn off, two switches to desktop which damaged the car and took away top speed both times. Then battle with Bruno until the finish. And the computer crash just after the finish. Thanks for the broadcast off for a look at that now.  |

My switch from a Ferrari to a '56 Maserati was a bit of a reality check on this track.. Made a small mistake after a fun ding dong with the Lotuses and Giovanni. Ended up last and right when I caught back up to the back of the field a misshift caused my demise.
On to Portugal!

This series Is tremendous fun🔥. After some practice before the event i immediately found that the old Maserati would have struggled a lot.It Is delicious and well balanced but simply too slow.
I qualified with a decent time in the middle of the field. During the inizial phase of the race i had some battles with Miller, Chacon and Dauger but soon i realized that in the straight i could have the upper hand only on the small Lotus. I tried to stay close to Bruno when he passed me but the Cooper was too fast during braking and corner exit and after 3 or 4 laps i lost the train. At that time i realized that my race was only against the 2 Lotus and the other 56 Maserati. After some retirements only Miller was behind me.
Then at lap 38 i went wide at parabolica and hit the banking, i thought i had a puncture as the car was like on 3 wheels, i stopped for damage and tyres but the car was still undriveable. I think i badly bent the chassis, i tried to stay on track to at least finish the race but on lap 44 i went wide another time at parabolica so i retired.
Was really sad to see the amazing action in the midfield and can't take part, but i know the old Maserati was the only chanche to have a seat for the race. For the next race i'll bring a bag full of money and try to buy a better car 🤣

Thoroughly frustrating race, again. The car's balance was fine and I could place the car wherever I wanted it to be and do what required when neccessary. In Q, I lost out on the front row by about 2/10s and it was basically in the car, just my last adjustments didn't add properly, but 4th, that's okay
I had a reasonably good start and could remain in fourth for some time, but from there, it soon went down the line. Massively. Before long, I was in 12th, and that wasn't really what I was aiming at. The car handled really fine and was really fast around the bends, but every frigging bobbycar was quicker down the straights today than my ride! Unbelievable how quick everyone went by me, even if I got the better run from the corners, my opposition just left me standing. I have no idea what was wrong there, I went just one click higher than in qualification, to have some revs left for drafting. Maybe I'm just to careful when shifting up, but I was constantly losing 3 seconds per lap to the front and half a second to the next group. About lap 25, I was really thinking about parking the car, so frustrated I was, because nothing was going ahead. I had some fun battles with Ray, Adam, Gabriele and later Juha, though
But somewhere shortly after halftime, things got a little worse for me. I was able to overtake all in my group for 7th and open a small gap, when I braked a bit to late for Curva Grande and brushed the Armco. Not enough to damage the car, but enough to have let everyone by again. I returned to my rhythm and tried hard to fetch the end of the train again. I finally got back to the group, when suddenly Juha had a wiggle exiting Lesmo 1, which put him into the barrier and everyone got held up a little. I tried to gain some advantage through the situation, but unfortunately I underexpected my speed compared to Ray and trying to avoid him, I hit the inside barrier, which bent the car quite some. Time for repairs, again... 
I lost over a lap due to the incident, and being really frustrated and infuriated, I gave the car a proper workout. Nothing much to gain anymore, so all to hell with it, no matter if the engine breaks or helds up. Juha's car was all over the place, didn't took long to fetch him for 12th. Then I closed a 30+ second gap to David and Bruno, took me some 15 laps or so, with an extra off-track expedition to the Parabolica run-off, I could unlap myself from Ray, when he had a spin. I went past David exiting curva Grande, but Bruno's braking point for Lesmo I caught me a bit by surprise, even though I already braked slightly earlier than possible to give the neccessary space. I hit him on the right rear, fortunately, he wouldn't spin around. Well, 10th, some 40-odd seconds behind Ray, I could unlap myself from Adam, and throw in some 1.44 laps.
Not exactly what I was looking at, but yet another unneccessary mistake, just like at the Ring and Silverstone, and a car that was suddenly unexpected short of breath...  |

Aware of my slowness (I couldn't get close to 1:47 in practice or in the race), my goal was not to make mistakes, not to get in the way of the rockets (and what rockets!) and to finish the race.
I had a decent start, but soon Dauger took back the position and David Saber invited me to dance for most of the race.
It was a lot of fun David, a clean fight where we switched positions so many times I lost count.
This long battle was interrupted for a few laps (I think it was a problem with his computer) and I got 14 seconds ahead and the race was boring, alone trying to keep my concentration and not make mistakes. It was like that until Juha abandoned and appeared in the "Hello!" just in time for the Parabolic braking, it broke my concentration and I got off the track without crashing.
I managed to get back to the track but David was glued to my car again and we started another sequence of fun and clean disputes.
As the fuel tank was getting empty, my car started to lose a lot of rear grip and suddenly on braking the first slug curve, it swerved to the right and hit the guard rail hard.
Luckily it didn't bend anything, but I lost top speed.
I want to apologize to David for moving into his line when I lost the back of the car in Lesmo's second causing an unavoidable collision with him.
In the final laps, I could no longer hold back David who masterfully overtook me deservedly.
It was one of the most fun races in recent times for me.
Congratulations to Petr, Tim and Brian, I hope I didn't get in your way.
Now I will eagerly watch the broadcast of the race which must have been phenomenal as Mr. White has been showing great talent in broadcasts.

I was in the pits and I saw the engine temperature creep up, so I went for the ignition button and accidentally hit the quick chat along the way. |

No problem Juha, it just shows that my level of concentration and commitment is good. Despite the 12th place, I was very satisfied with my performance in the race. Congratulations to you for achieving a fantastic performance with the Cooper on a track that is not favorable for the little power he has. |

Happy about my weekend Hit my target laptime in Q, and felt good My race was after the first 10 laps lonely but not boring Brian was always waiting there for my mistake, but I had basically none and finished 
Happy to lead the Ferraris at Monza, bit of payback for the disco I had at the Nordschleife
Thanks to Jason and Juha for the great broadcast
Also shoutout to my MVP of the race, the towel that was on my desk the entire race and waiting until I grab it to get the sweat off. Definitely helped me when it is 30 degree on the outside
