I'm just trying find a reason for all the mechanical failures, in the hope that someone here can help us out. I suppose it was too much to ask not to have my suggestion ridiculed.

Tough day for both DMRs, I'm sure they can fight back strong next race.

- - - - - It’s De Bruyker who has brought the yellow out, having hit the wall in the stadium section. - - - - -
What was the reason ? Was it also a suspension failure like Carlos, or something else ?
How can I get of the track and hit the wall on that place... if I play the same game at home with the same perfs, I never go of track at Hockenheim...
I only had 3 engine blown ups and 4 transmission failures... after racing more than 50 times at Hockenheim.
What went wrong this time... can someone tell me ?
There is undoubtedly something wrong... but... I don't know what !!!
What a waste of drivers boost and car boost...
But what the hell... there are worse things in life than this !

Ask Rod. Did he pay your mechanics this month ?

My apologies, I didn't mean to ridicule you.
Failure values certainly do look adjusted, set for 1 each of suspension, engine, transmission, oil. For comparison, original Hockenheim is set for 2 engine 4 transmission. Still doesn't explain why there have been that many :/

Eurgh, P14...I'd be in the points if some muppet had remembered this wasn't touring cars.

Looks as thought this could be a strong result for JHR! Hoping they'll hold on!

Tried to see what happened as to why you went off, but the replay wasn't able to go back far enough to see how it started. From what I saw though, it would seem you ran wide in that part of the track and ended up in the wall.

Sorry to hear that Nata, my condolences to you. Take all the time you need and take care.
