Go 4 wide on the formation lap. It would be beautiful... 4 wide downhill would be an acomplishment in itself  |

I can only say EPIC thanks to Pundip , great track and great car choice, congrats for the win this race made me proud to be part of this community I can split my race in three parts: - lap 1-2: all good besides some contacts in the formation lap1. After avoiding that huge crash in lap2 I spunt out at the very end of the downhill, which cost me all the position I made up avoiding the crash. Started 8th finished that second lap in 11th spot - lap 3-4: all that could have gone wrong went worse.. I crashed on the top of the downhill, losing the last 5 positions, ended in the parking lot at the bottom, spun out on the uphill chicane, all in rapid succesion.. 16th +30s after KoBo_043 in 15th. I totally lost my cool, I was thinking to pull over and spectate the rest of the race. - lap 5-finish: I had to pit at the beginnig of that 5th lap, because I had no lights working after so many crashes, so I could start with a fresh car. I had nothing to lose or win so I've last 30 min and 45 miles without any crash. It allowed me to catch up to Dim in 15th position, who dove airborne spinning around me on the downhill before ending in the parklot, without even touching my car.. scary! I got that he was having problems when I saw him, in the very same parklot the next lap.. I was disappointed because even if I made that position, I was still the last car of the racing pack, always +30s after KoBo_043 . Well right then something happened. Keeping it clear for so long allowed me to catch up to him, who got caught in traffic, then I could also increase the gap even when del 's lagging made me spin out on the downhill. Somehow my nose was still on the track and in the right direction so I could easily recover that contact and keep defend that 14th position. e-pics snapmatics coming soon |

This isn't the first time Pundip and I have finished 1st and 2nd in an endurance event We're both taking part in a couple of upcoming championships too so I don't think it'll be our last. Maybe I need to represent Jetsam Racing some time in the future  |

I didn't crash once on the downhill, until those bugs started occuring and my steering got messed up, I don't even know how to call it, it wasn't under- or oversteer, because the front wheels just slid to the side i was steering to...

Yep, when you take a bit of damage to the front corner of the Picador it becomes king of oversteer and refuses to turn under acceleration any more. I got that during the race too and had to pit. |

I wouldn't say it's oversteer, becouse the front slides away from you, oversteer is when the back loses grip. |

I'm so bad with motorsport terminology |

WOW! Spent most of the race between 9th and 13th. The most memorable part of the race for me was being just behind HiBerg for about 15-20 mins? before he finally made a mistake on the downhill section, flew 30 feet into the air and exploded. Definitely the best crash I've seen in an event. Fairly incident free for me, flipped over on the downhill part once but didn't need to pit, 100% armour definitely helped with that. Mostly avoided collisions even in the tricky parts, one minor incident with Ducharte at the start but he apologised. That said, the in game award 'No Claims Bonus' for clean driving popped up twice and although my best lap time wasn't as good as others I was pretty consistent. Think I only hit a lamppost with someone behind me once (HiBerg I think), the other times I was a good 50 secs clear of next driver. Just started the home straight when I DNFd  Congrats to Pundip on his victory and to all involved  Chrome team got pretty consistent times. Out of interest, who else opted for stock/muscle/non-off-road tyres? Damn that crash downhill was hilariously stupid! John I though I had overtaken you for good several times through the race, but either you kept coming back, or I kept making mistakes. I really enjoyed our battles! GG |
