Thanks! I think I'll be right around 7:00 if I can not screw up the karussell. Maybe it's safer to stay off of the banking?

I kinda found that if you hit the banking HARD, you actually stick better. Dive in, turn the wheel, get back on the gas.

Wow Nurburgring. - what a mess - didn't make it one lap. I had to use a Raikkonnen quote: "ahhh dats racing.." Maybe I will call it Nerveburgring cuz racing on it makes me nervous.

Good race everyone. Justin what happened with your connection? It was too bad to see you drop out.

I was having computer trouble all night. Screens kept going black. I reinstalled the drivers, iracing and now I'm doing Windows. Pain in the butt!

I also noticed that I couldn't take a fast repair, even though I set them to 4. That seemed buggy to me.

Yeah last night was interesting. 9? 10? started... 3 finished.

I was hoping to make it to the end without incident, as I'd consider that a hell of an accomplishment... and binned it in the carousel on the last lap. Car survived, was able to get it over the line but...dammit.

I can't imagine doing a 24H here. I couldn't make it 25 minutes.

Last nights race sure gave my hands a workout with the OSW... especially that section of the track you get airborne. Very bumpy track. How was it for you Jim?

Hey I had the honour of going out first dumb mistake too, thought I was going to rear end justin and turned wheel while braking, spun the car into the wall. Need to drive more, rusty as hell.

I was glad to start in the back, if I was up front I would have taken myself out for sure. I love the downhill part in the first 1/4 of the track.

Sure, we can do Barber this week.

I think I've finally fixed my computer. Hopefully no more black screens!
