6th of all pros in Q1 and 69th (out of 78) in Q2, not good. I was more conservative in Q2 as well.

Tim, now you can confidently say that this qualification is the most unlucky for you, while others were just a warm-up before this :-)

I`ve never qualified well here.... let see what happens in the race.

How much do you think will be overtaking the average per lap? From 10 to 20? :-)

this race is the absolute luck game..
and even if th temperature seems to help yokos in reality it is easy to see that bad years will easily win except rain comes for yoko at the exact best moment!!!
so don't care if i start 1st or 40th i can't do nothing for this race and was even thinking to run low risks... oleg and tim you will probably make the 1-2 whatever your Qs are....

sorry dan but i don't get it :( i read the elite thread generally i looked it again but...... maybe you could quote to help me :)

OK I'll explain it. When Edvaldas got his hattrick in race 5 he managed to get quali and track record as well in the process. So there was talk about making this into an achievement, so people came up with possible names big 5, high 5, the 5 etc. One of these suggestions (which I thought was the best) was "a full house".
Hope that helps :)

Well now that qualificaton has closed, it`ll be interesting to see if GPRO does decide to throw rain on this track.
If the game is to keep it`s realism, the race should stop until the rain has passed.... not likely to see that.
If the rain falls, then everyone who elects to stay out one or more laps before pitting, should skid into the wall and be out of the race or into the pits for repairs...... or lose 10+ seconds per lap due to the unique layout of this track.
Lets see what they do.

It will be interesting to look at the struggle to win and someone will get it. Ioannis finally win a first race this season or it would get Tim? Or even totally unexpected victory will happen :-)
So much do I force a low risk to earn at least one point :-)

engine :-(

I know it's the race with the least overall car wear, but not real fond of the excessive eng wear this race causes. Oh well, it's the same for everyone ;)
|

|

that was not the perfect time for rain to start... let's see strategies.... i wanted it from lap 28-32 :P
edit: and we need 30 laps to cover +2 pits...
|
|
|
If it stays raining my only chance is someone else's Eng breaking down....who's stressing their car hmmmmmmmmmmmmm?
Very strange the difference in laptimes on a WET track with Dry tires vs Wet tires. Seeing how on a real oval on a wet track everyone would be into the wall.
Looks like bad luck for me with the rain stopping

Now the Admins are just having a laugh

Well, what can I say? If you're going to push, it's better come home 20 minutes before the qualification closes and begin to wonder how to do the trick.
Worked out this time. I think I like Indianapolis Oval. It was also a nail-biting fight with Tim during the last laps. Congrats to the winner, though.

Not what my tactics, but the point will greatly assist this season. The most surprising pole position

Congratulations to the guys who came to the podium, and indeed all who have taken points, almost all of them under certain conditions, could get on the podium :-)
Special congratulations Ioannis: Excellent race and nice return in big race!

thanks!!! i won in the lottery ticket hopefully i was overfueled on purpose and didn't pit in the 2nd stint :)
the only problem is that engine wear was crazy i expected about 5% less wear.... i hope that this won't ruin my next race ;)

Jejejeje ... a good race for you Ioannis... and for Oleg, good fight maintence the fourth position... Mmmmm... unexpected I went to pit two times in two laps when the beginning of the rain... I lost any options for podium when the second position was mine. But ... I´m content with fifth place.

you should have taken the 2nd place.. but the weather did his own tricks... if that hadn't happened it would have been a "de puta madre" race for you...:P

i decided to pay some more money even if i think i have almost ensured promotion... i don't like paying high taxes ;)

Are you thinking he is going to smoke out nearly half of the season?
Although he isn't limited with his driver, so it is an option if he wants it.

Ioannis as I said last season I was in this particular type of money will not, because I want to continue the course started to win the championship, cup and a big race. And the sense to abandon this course not, since my masters will inevitably 3 - 4 Season's will have to be to properly prepare for the elite, then I'll slowly and restores your budget, especially since the end of this season I'll be exactly represented as choose the fast driver that will allow me to save money on the more slower level car in Masters.
But you only logical to continue its course of collecting money and get out in the elite of the Masters for 2 seasons. :-)
So you find yourself in the Elite far ahead of me :-) Of course, provided that you have all the wizards well established and you is not allowed mistakes

i will smoke some races but even if i didn't i would need just 2 upgrades (after the one i will do next race)
don't know about the appropriate time to push for elite cause my driver may not be ready enough after 1 season in master because of his low experience... (ok heidi aareskoski will promote with an average driver but she is 2 times champion :P) moreover i have to find the best season to promote if possible in order to find the appropriate drivers up there
so i will maybe need 3 seasons :) but i hope i will manage it and after that stay for 2 seasons then i can start regelating to get in amateur and play just for fun :P (don't like resets ;) )

i just needed 0,5 sec better pit and would have chances for win :( now even 5th place is very possible...
edit: yeah!!!
very low grip maybe worked :)
hope i am even 0,2 faster than carlos...

Of all the races this season, this was the very hardest! :-)
