Round 2 - XXVII GP van Nederland - Procar [Mar 10th]

My keyboard is not responding to any inputs all of a sudden? Usually it has some LED glow that comes on too. I think it's dead. Does anyone have any ideas possibly on how I could D.I.Y it back to life? I won't be able to get another one on short notice.

Last time I’ve issued a protest, it was ignored and no actions were taken at all.

It’s simply unbelievable that the same person has this behavior over and over again on track with any other racer for as long as I know ISO. And this is about 4 years.

It is supposed to be fun. So there’s no need to throw your car on another one’s like three times until you DNF the other person.

The event was great. The race was great. The mod is fantastic. I had wonderful fights with other cars on track, what a great overtake by Ricardo Mendes two times on me, that was a piece of art!

Since no fresh tyres were available for the race, I decided to do a pit stop. Took 46 seconds but it was worth it as the car was more stable during all the laps, despite a bump I received behind at the start. Had a couple of mistakes because of AMS messaging and wrong brake balance, but the rest ran well.

Again, this new version is amazing, incredibly fun and challenging, and so beautiful to drive. Congratulations and thanks Richard and the others involved in its development.

You're my hero mate! hahahaha

I have a lot to learn from you. Great driving once again. I would let you pass as my teammate, but then I'd be in trouble with the cars behind you and I had a stop for tyres and fuel.

And so you've passed me twice with two beautiful moves. So it was all smooth in the Brabham house 

I thought new rubber would arrive during warmup. As it had not happened, I've decided to program a pit stop. It was fun anyways.

USB. But no matter, I will get a new one tomorrow. As pissed off as I am that I missed tonight's race, I watched the streams. You boys raced pretty hard as usual. Hopefully I can have a race come together over the coming weeks with F1 1991 to look forward to. I should probably test out the touring cars as well, although BTCC is not my thing.

Went for the gap and to my suprise Wilks spun.

Watching the replay there was clearly contact. However in my view it was the front axel I bumped (wich would'nt normally cause a spin) wheres as in the official replay I clearly see it's the rear instead (obviously causing a completely different outcome) hence why it surpised me at first. Not excusing my self, but that's a big shame.

Sry for that!

Had a good first run in qualy with a 1.27,4 which put me into provisional pole. But when Cezariusz finally got going he did a 1.27 flat. I knew I couldn't beat that so I didn't want to waste the second set of tyres. Thiago went quicker as well so it was P3 on the grid.

Thiago had a very bad start, but Richard had a real flyer and passed me into turn 1. I was able to go a bit quicker but couldn't find a way through. That allowed Anders to overtake me with a nice move around the outside of Tarzan. He immediately passed Richard, too. So did I when he either missed a gear or just let me through, I don't know.

Anders was clearly going quicker than me while Richard dropped back, so it was becoming a lonely race for me in P3. That became P2 when Anders exploded. Since I saw some more cars parked with burning engines I treated it a bit more careful now. Especially I shifted up to 4th between the chicane and final corner instead of overrevving the hell out of 3rd.

Nothing spectacular happened until the finish. Happy with P2, Cezariusz (and Anders) were just a little bit more consistent with their laptimes.

Thanks for the race.

Qualified P9, but had a terrible start. Too much wheelspin and a missed shift threw me to P19. To make things better, took a hit from another driver right after T1, which damaged my car and compromised my pace. Oh well, only 29.9 laps to go... Any hopes of a decent result? At that moment no!

Nevertheless I kept going, as fortunately the car still felt good, although not as fast as I expected. The first 10 laps were quite intense, with many good battles. Kept my nose clean and avoided major errors, which allowed me to climb to P9 (my starting position) by lap 15. The second half of the race was less eventful, but still was able to catch Martin and benefit from the retirement of Anders, finishing in P7.

My apologies to François. I couldn't avoid hitting your car when you lost the rear, as I was just behind you exiting Parnoramabocht.

Congratulations to the top 3 and to the Admins in charge of this mod's development. I was already a major fan of last year's version, which I found a blast to drive. The new version is also very good. Hopefully we will return to these cars sometime in the future.

Cheers! 

Did some preparation for this round and it payed off I was expecting to get 1:27:3...5 Q laptime, but fortunately it went better than expected. First thing to know is you can't even touch tyre set for the race. 30 laps of fast driving both overheats and wears them quite well. So 8 to 10 laps of driving into Q session is what's really available.

From pre race testing I knew, that overrevving the engine will make it last only till lap 25 to 27. With all set I needed a good start.
I knew that drivers behind me on the grid are good starters so I expected to get very tight, 3 wide cars on the Tarzan entry.

There was a bit surprising moment, when there was no sound signal for the lights. Thankfully by keeping the revs above 5k there was no drop in them and the car accelereated well.
Well enough to get clean entry for the first corner. From then on I payed attention to the leaderboard. Felt slight reliefed when I saw my gap increased slightly. But then Anders appeared as no 2, well too early to keep my lead safe. With more than 10 laps to go, the gap dimished to one second and change. My mind boiled for a moment and I calculated that battle for the lead is going to start around lap 25.

As there was some traffic ahead to be lapped, I focused more on good planning and not loosing too much time on every move yet stayin' safe.
Next thing I noticed was a 8 secs gap to Anders and soon after well known message that Driver left the track but his car is stored in the garage.
Well if that happened to Anders, I got concerned about my engine lifetime. With some time to spare I switched back to safety mode. No revs at the red band and no late braking.

Pheew- what a geat feeleng for winning another Procar race  To celebrate I prepared myself a small tasty trophy 


I'd also I'd like to note that after I watched the replay, I realised how hard was Anders engine workout- didn't noticed misshifts but reaching red area on the tachometer was quite intensive. Thank you to ThimBro for a broadcast and all the competitors for this great event. Another great evening with ISO community
