Applying for #35, it should be available if I read the first page right. If not I'll take the Dome again.
I guess I'll apply for the #47 then.

I have caught Covid and rest is my #1 priority this weekend. #47 is available as a one off.

Hi all.
I'm having no time to practice for the last races, so I won't race today and leaving my car free for someone else for the remaining races. Sorry for the late absence notice, I've tried but hás been a though time in the last months. I'll concentrate on the last F1 races.

Had a great battle with Wilks in the first stint and was catching CC but made the smallest of errors and that was race over.

Didn't get a chance in the car but the way it's stacking up, if my teammate didn't have an accident, even the NA privateer cars could score points from attrition here!

Track is less forgiving than Monaco. In the 1978 USAC race here very few cars finished so I knew it'd be carnage.

Yeah, got a bit cocky in the end and dumped it at Moss. Until then ... pretty alright if you consider I hadn't managed to do more than 30 laps in a row in pratice. Q was okay, not a very high position, but alright. At the start, I got quickly handed down a few positions, had two or three early mishaps at Moss and needed a while to get into a rhythm. The field thinned out quickly and soon I was in the Top 10, but sickingly slow, probably I had too much wing on the car. But fuel economy was okay once I settled in, 44 laps in a stint. Around mid of the second stint, with enough laps down and a prospect of P6, I slightly raised the boost and settled into a 1:15.xx-rhythm when on my own, but got a bit too wide in lap 75, brushing the wall at T2, but not enough to seriously damage the car. Into the third stint, and soon I was eaten alive by the front runners, but once they were past, I raised up the boost and tried to settle into a good pace. But not for long, because I missed a downshift into Moss and hit the barrier. The telemetry showed my front left in red, so I thought the wheel is off, thus I left the race, but it seemed it was still on the car in the replay. Whatever. I got much further than initially thought, but I'm not too happy with my pace, though the balance was fine. I'm not sure I went with too much wing, judging the speed of everyone else down the straights and me being able to attack the fast corners, and I definitely lacked grip on acceleration. Apologies for having the headlights on all the time, must have hit the button by accident.
Else, Mosport is quite the opposite of the last race: Estoril is a bore on your own but always caters for exciting racing. Mosport is a thriller when you're practicing alone, but with more than one car claiming the same piece of tarmac, its pretty exhausting. My finishing rate of late leaves a bit to be desired, though...

Very very angry, another runtime error that ruined my race. I do not what to do, low graphics, 4gb patch…desperated, because I formatted my computer a few days ago due to a computer issue. I thought it was fixed but I think it is not. Firstable I would like to apologize to Anders because during qualy I was trying to get the pits due to an accident and didn’t realized I was on Anders way and I ruined your lap, so sorry mate. The setup in qualy didn’t work as I expected, I had many excursions so I only did two flying laps. Nevertheless P4 good for start the race. I lost two places in the start, but my strategy was clear, stay behind the group to save fuel. The race was as I expected, but in a excursion, I lost 8 seconds, so I decided increase the pace to catch up again Juha and Anders with Grant behind me. Mission accomplished so time to save fuel. I let Grant passed me and focused on save fuel. The pace was good and behind Juha and Anders, I get my figures. First pit stop everything was fine (or I thought that) I let the pits ahead of Juha but I let him pass in the second corner, the idea was stay behind Juha all the second stint to save fuel and I didn’t mind if Anders caught up us. I was comfortable with Juha’s pace. So final of the second stint but I had to pit a lap earlier than planned. I was confuse, because it was supposed I had saved fuel. Everything was fine, time to drink a glass of water, I was sweating a lot, and be prepared for the final stint. I let the pits ahead of Juha and Anders as I was planned, so time to increase the pace, but suddenly I realizided I had refueled 95 liters instead 100 in the two stops, so 10 liters less to finish the race (I am an idiot, I didn’t change the fuel in the pit menu, what a crap) At this moment I realized I could not fight for the win, also trying to lapping Michael Dreschler, I think he didn’t realized I was behind him, instead of flashing the lights I pushed the neutral button in my wheel, so I lost two positions (sorry Juha for the little kiss, I didn’t have room) and with my fuel issue, I decided to bring the car home, and suddenly…well you know how finished my race. Congrats to Juha and Anders, great great clean race, and also to the rest of the podium. Amazing mod, thanks for let me drive a factory Porsche, amazing and demanding circuit. I will try to knock on the Lancia’s door

Second win of the year and it's the second one on a Canadian track. We should have more of those next year.
I started practising fairly late, but it didn't take much time to adapt my Kyalami setup to this track despite its different nature.
Qualifying went fine and I only got pipped off the front row by Grant in the dying moments. He ran away at the start, so my aim was to head the Porsche pack. It took some extra power to get by Cezariusz, but Anders and Ruben were trailing me. After Grant's spin at Moss I even found myself in the lead.
Ruben's very quick first stop surprised me, as I wasn't aware of him taking 95 litres only. Anders was my main concern, doing a lap more on the same tank he would be a threat towards the end.
Second stop and Anders was ahead of me again. Despite being on the limit of my fuel target, I decided to go for it and stay on his tail, and Anders' feet kicked the win towards me.
It's not an easy track, very demanding as shown by the number of finishers, but fun to drive. Fuji will be a different story.
