P15 for my first ever run in a DMR car in Free Practice... not too bad. Hoping to build on this throughout the year!

Thank you, my old friend

@Gustavo: You can make it into the points with this car and your excellent form lately!

In fact I think I'd vote for this, since more variation leeds to more unexpected results, as the now people who qualified well have better chance of staying in front, while in case of what Chris wrote here it would be more fun and some of the back-sitters would have more perf power than it usualy is. As well as deleting drivers time for such unclear reason (probably bug - even if they collided entering the pits, cos real drivers would just stop and not start the extra lap) is not a good idea, and the solution is pretty easy (using a CustomGrid tool). But seems like I'm only the one who likes this idea, so nvm that, I guess

p.s. for others - these 25% doesnt mean that the perf values were wrong at any point

Race has been run and won, getting the coverage up might take a bit, though. I'll try to have it ready by tuesday or wednesday.

What a horrible, horrible weekend so far!
That FP really challenges for the worst GPGSL experience I've had, probably going for 2nd right after losing a sure win in Montreal to technical issues a few seasons back, what eventually cost me the title.

I also apologize to Luis for that pit lane entry crash, although it clearly hit me a lot harder than him. He stayed in the middle of the road and that confused me and made me think he was actually going for a hotlap when he suddenly pulled over for the pitlane. Glad that it didn't influence his practice and while I surely could have used another stint, the qualifying pace made it blatantly clear that I wouldn't have had the pace for points anyway.

I really don't know where our pace has gone for vacation, but we'll clearly have to find it back for the next race! So sorry to our guys to present you with such an undrivable car at this weekend. Just try to make the best out of it.

Welcome to the Austrian GP at Spielberg.

The weather is fine, not even a single cloud is expected for the race



The grid is awaiting the green lights


Warrington gets a great start


He challenges Buitenhuis for the lead


And gets the job done


Immediately everyone is trying to get the best possible tow from the cars ahead




At the end of the first lap Buitenhuis is challenged by Beggani and Keranen


Behind, Parachki fends off the competition


Russell leads another train of cars


Bouchard gets out of shape and spins into Karda




Keranen and Kederer fight for 4th


Due to the strong tow, the field is staying closely packed


At the end of the field, Gustavo wasn't able to progress much after his qualifying controversy


Aston and Alpha in a private battle






We are in lap 4 and Warrington has opened up a decent gap to Buitenhuis. He is showing some serious speed


Parachki, Kederer and de Bruyker in 5th, 6th and 7th


Back in the pack drivers are jostling for position




Majumdar currently rounding of the points positions


The MTPs with a dual attack on Pedersen


Lap 5 and Elleker is running wide in turn 1


He cuts across the grass and bumps into Soutsen I think


Drama for Elleker, he slides into the wall and is out of the race


Soutsen is pushed back into Pedersen and the MTPs


Meanwhile, de Bruyker and Parachki are fighting for 6th


This helps Silva to close the gap






Karda and Gustavo are still caught at the back of the field


Keranen is starting to put pressure on Buitenhuis for 2nd


And Russell is making a move on Gilson




McCarthy passes Soutsen at the same place, just moments later


Warrington is running away with the race, noone is able to match his pace


No decision in the fight for 2nd. Yet.




Karda having a massive lockup


He loses control and spins off. He has to rejoin in last




Parachki and Silva in close combat. De Bruyker behind will try to capitalise on the situation




However, de Bruyker himself is being attacked by Hinz


Keranen having a close look at Buitenhuis' rear


Hinz passes de Bruyker


This helps Russell to inch closer








Russel is finding a way past de Bruyker. De Bruyker is very unlucky, while his pace seems to be ok he is constantly involved in duels, loosing time in the process






Now he is also passed by Gilson


Keranen is the first to pit for fuel and wheels


Rodriguez with good progress after starting from the back of the grid


More trouble for de Bruyker. He spins off while trying a move on Gilson




He rejoins in front of his teammate


McCarthy is getting it all wrong on the approach to turn 1


He survives without loosing to much time




Slick work by the Lego-pitcrew


Keranen in 15th after his stop




We have reached the half way point of the race, time for a break. Please join us again for the second half of the race!

What's wrong with the car, started on 4th place...with car boost and drivers boost with great perfs and I'm falling down the field...
What a shitty race so far...
Boss, I'm not amused at all

hmm might be a rough second half of the race for us, a lighter fuelled car than the surrounding drivers..

Yet another miserable race for me

---

Tha rece is OK, but the coverage is great.

-----------------------------------------------------

Not having confidence in the car atm...but work will go on to get on top of it!

---

Tricky race so far...but kinda bogged in the midfield. Let's see what happens finally.

Kimi forever!

Welcome back to the second half of the race.

Gilson and O'Neill bum into each other on the approach to the pitlane. This seems to be a common theme at this track


Both miss the pit entry


They fall into the clutches of de Bruyker and friends




Keranen is trying to use his fresh tires as good as possible


Kederer in 16th after the stop




Majumdar has a moment, he runs wide into the grass


He somehow makes it back in one piece


A slow stop for O'Neill on his second attempt. His pitcrew was not ready for him


Gilson suffered the same fate. Seems the strategist where overwhelmed by the situation.


The leader pits






Buitenhuis pits after enjoying the lead for a lap


Warrington takes control of the race again


Keranen is in second


Kederer ends up in third after the stops


Parachki tries a move on Buitenhuis. Buitenhuis cuts him off, though


He spins off into the grass


Buitenhuis slides into the path of Russell but avoids contact


Positions 13 to 19 in asingle frame and we are over the halfway point of the race




Gilson misses a corner


He spins but is able to continue


The Mistrals made their way through the traffic and enjoy some quality time at the front of the field


Gustavo goes for a massive overcut and is the last driver to stop






De Bruyker is taking a really wide line into the fast right hander


And he smashes into the barrier. The premature end of a complicated race for him






An unfazed Warrington is in total control


Kederer is attacked


And loses 3rd








Not long after the second mistral is having a go as well


Drama for MMM. Buitenhuis looses it at the Majumdar-corner, but he is less lucky. That is his race over.


At the same moment Gustavo spins off in the first chicane




Majumdar and O'Neill fight for the last point


Unseen by the cameras Beggani has passed Keranen


Hinz is now also on Kederer's tail


And he goes through into 5th




Silva puts the second Mistral into the top 3 as well












Warrington starts his last lap


Meanwhile the fight for the last points is still ongoing


Warrington wins, a stellar performance


Beggani second


Silva third, a great result for Mistral

Oh my, looks like that can of whoopass worked after all.
