Congrats to the winners of the 2 classes from yesterday, it really turned out to be quite a hectic race. From my side I want to apologize to the #28 Falcon Motorsport II Corvette for the huge lag spike that caused your car spawning inside of mine somehow. We were going down the straight when my car just froze for around 3-4 seconds and as it unfroze itself I was inside your car and your car seem to went flying while we just got some minor bodywork damage. Not sure why this happened, but definitely not intentional. Sorry. I think this race went quite well for the lack of experience I think we all have on this track. At the start things were a bit bumpy and a lot of paint trading happened, but throughout the race I think people got used to where each class' lines were. All in all... great race. Iwould just like to add one thing. Can there please be a rule added that forces drivers to stick to the most outer side when inside the pits? We had an incident with the #911 YourNameHere Porsche when we pitted the first time. For some reason our pitbox was in the middle lane of the pitlane. Most cars entered the pits using this middle lane to get to their box. This caused the #911 being behind us in the middle lane and not knowing we have to literally stop in the middle as well which caused them to hit us in the back when I stopped for our box. Just my 2c
There is actually a paragraph in the rules, that says, one can't stay in the working lane unnecessarily long. But as the middle and the right lane were visually the same and you plus another LMP in front were both driving through the middle lane I really didn't think there were pit boxes there and it was part of the fast lane(s). Very sorry for hitting you, but as our pit box was on the left and this was the first stop I can't really see, how I could have known that in advance and avoided the incident. I hope you didn't have any damage from it. Ironically the corner, with which I hit your car, was already damaged before (due to a divebombing LMP2, that hit our sister car #23 and caused both to spin) and the reason, why I had to pit in the first place... For the next races a short information in the race thread would be nice and maybe a short mentioning in the briefing, if there are other tracks that can potentially have the same issue. Or defining where the fast lane is in advance, if it is not clear.
Oh yeah Sebastian, I seriously dont blame you at all. There was no possible way you could've known, but yeah I think I even learned my lesson to just stay as far away from the normal pit box lane as possible xD
Yeah, I guess it was just unlucky for both of us! Btw. thanks to race control for upping the race overtime, it gave us more time for setting up a nice finish photo. Congrats to Christian and Manuel for winning the very first race, the #26 in rF2-colours (where are the rF2-Devs??) could be put on the grid.
Will there be any chance of sneaking a GTE in for the last three races of the season? Satellite Racing would very much like to enter a car if possible.

Hello everybody, Unfortunately, Tim and I were unable to attend the last few races in the LMS series due to health issues. What has never happened to us in almost 10 years of simracing. We have not commented on that since we were hoping from week to week for an improvement to get back into the game. But meanwhile you can hardly deny our absence Tim's been doing better since last week so he started training again. At the weekend, the 8h Multi Class Event @ Spa will be on the schedule, where Tim will compete in the LMP-1 with Michael. It looks a little worse for me. Unfortunately, I can not say when it will be back on track for me. But I hope this summer Stay positive In the LMS series, it is still to be seen whether Tim will perhaps finish the series with another SRM driver. With the SRM team still taking part in other racing events such as WEM Series @ RSRC, LSM Series @ VR and CFEG series, finding a driver will not be easy. It's not my / our way to stop in the middle of a series, but under these circumstances, for the first time, nothing will change. Have a nice day
Admin Post Thank you for the information and get well soon all. We keep your car in the mod just in case you find a line up
OZ for this race is not obvious if we are going to have one!. Main race post mentions it but does not show where it is.

Hi guys ! Any info or change about the upcoming Interlagos 8h race ?! Concerning the 24h race at Le Mans hosted by S-397 at the same time...
Hi, Not sure where to ask this question but I have sent €5 yesterday as driver fee. I can't see the Interlagos Race thread yet. Do I need moderator approval or something?
Admin Post There will be no change for the 8h Interlagos Race thread will be there soon. Waiting for a flyer.
