Well, i'm not dissapointed by the rossion after that race . Although we took our distance quite early in the race there was some good fighting at the beginning. Driving side by side with you pred for like half the track in an attempt to keep you behind was especially intense. I was dissapointed to see you hit the wall after that, i reckon you could have kept the same pace as me otherwise considering how you were always pretty much the same distance behind me all the time. I didn't expect to do that good during the qualification with the setup i had (lots of downforce). My strategy was more to have a setup with which i'm confortable to push the car and that forgives a lot during the race. Overall, had i been more constant in my lap time i guess i could have been on the podium (i did my best lap of 1:59.707 at the 20ish lap with the tire worn out by 30%!).

Can't wait for maple valley, one of my favorite track and imho the best track for the super grippy rossion .

On a sidenote, with what i seen during practice i expected gdub to be higher on the finish, what happened? And congratulation sigurd, i wouldn't have thought you could do such great result with the car you got (did some testing with that mercedes and learned to hate it XD).

well i had a very poor qualifier and on top of that i lagged out of my race 15 laps in and then after i finished the race i decided not to write down my time so i screwed myself oh well if i had to guess if i would of wrote my time down i probably would of been in the the top 6

Team Munich i believe had a good start in qualifying but had a disappointing race. I ran strong for the first few laps but on lap 12 i must have had a suspension malfunction (or lag lol) sending me into the tires at 140mph. Lethal had the same problem a bit earlier in the race that sent him wide a few times.

All in all Team Munich is looking forward to maple valley and both drivers believe that the disappointment at Sebring will be forgotten.

It was a good first race. I am a bit disappointed I had to go to a back up car (steering wheel) because mine failed seconds before qualifying. That was a set back and cost me a bit during the race. Overall it was still a good race. I am definitely looking forward to Maple Valley as that track better suits my Ferrari. I dunno what I am gonna do about Microsoft and their $1 special low quality wheels.

I want to congratulate CCB METAL for such a great start to the season with his victory. The fight is comin to ya! Also great race to everyone. I am glad to hear that there were no major on track incidents. Well, the ones that were had were at least restricted to lag out and controller error.

I don't know what to say about my MIA teammate? Never known a Marine to leave his fellow Marine out to fight alone. Well, I won't get into that too much other than to say I hope we have a better team effort next race.

Finally, I would like to apologize for having the runaway train that was Stretch 111x! He never ran with us prior to the qual or race so I had no opportunity to soften the bite of him and his Mclaren F1 GT. It's no biggie though it's all about the race and a full season ahead!

Just out of curiosity how do you calculate the team championship point? It doesn't concern me much since i'm on my own but i can't quite figure out how venom has 25 points while the 3 driver made a total of 57 points together.

Btw, gdub, if you know anyone in your server that has saved the replay ask him to send it to you and check your total time on it.

Very simple I take the points earned by the top two drivers of each team and divide it by two. Example a team has 3 drivers, one team driver earns 26 pts for 2nd place another earns 19 pts and another earns 10. I would add 26+19 and divide it by two. If it ends up a .5 I round up. Hope that explains it.

i saved my own replay but it only played back the first 36 laps

CCB METAL GETS HIS DUE CREDIT!
