What a pity Stuart! You were having a perfect race!

Grats to Alberto and the rest of the podium Good job guys.


I very much hope there will be more endurance races soon. Really good fun, despite my disconnect.

Hall of Fame updated

Very nice race

Great race! This time I didn't start very well and trying to overtake Daniel I have been passed by Luigi.
During first laps I was quite nervous because Daniel was blocking me (I'm not blaming him, he didn't anything bad, I simply think to have lost too much time behind him) but when I realized that my pace was good and I saw Daniel and Luigi going out I could calm down and go on thinking that I could get a podium (I was sure I couldn't win because of Stuart) : I chased Vito (and passed him when he did a mistake) and then I chased Mario.
I passed Mario during the pit and since then I had only to control the situation and avoid mistakes.
This round I didn't have so many problems with dubbed drivers as at Montreal but I had really to fight to pass some of them (I think to have battled with Jose who probably didn't understand to be dubbed).

BTW I really like long races and it would be really great if kunos improve "racing features" (I'm speaking about a correct timing handling [working pitboard, working flags] and some pit strategy handling.

Here's the race replay : http://www.megaupload.com/?d=JE6R6VJI

My race had been a disaster. On the first lap I pinched the grass before the long straight, and someone took my slip stream and try to pass me on the right.
I kept the left to arrive to the chicane in the inside but somehow I've done some mistake with braking arriving too long. We touched and I had my right back suspension heavily broken. It took me almost 80 seconds to get from there to the box to repair the car.
Race over for me. I wanted anyway to complete the race, but as you can imagine without any real motivation.
I was always with on eye on the road and one the mirror to give road to everyone was coming.

I haven't even seen the replay, yet, so I don't know who I collided with, but i suspect it was Stephane.
I'm really sorry for that. My apologies. I hope haven't lost as much time as me!

My race was lucky and unlucky.
I started as usual with no ill pass anyone. Then in front of me and have touched so many impellers, so I recovered many positions. Party 11 I was 4.
I was happy, but even if concentrated at the first pit stop I made a mess and I lost a lap. I found myself eighth, but did not know to be eighth so I did ten laps and I made the pit stop checking my position. At that point I did nothing but take home the position. A big disappointment, but these are the races.
Too bad, because whoever was behind me spinning like me. I could finish at least fifth. I'll try next time.
Thank you guys because I am having so much fun with you.

Yes it was me, Andrea . After the clash, I lost concentration and I made many mistakes.
No regrets because anyway I did not well prepared race.
I do not know why, but Donington is a real nightmare for me.

Well done podium . (Great race Moose)
