CS-closed Sim Formula 2020 qualifying

Had an unfortunate incident with Jarl Teien. I didn't see the replay so I am not sure what happened. From my view I thought I was in front after the first corner. Then I think Jarl's front tire hit my rear tire and after that I bounced a little we hooked and that was it. If I knew Jarl was still next to me I would have given room, on the other side Jarl also didn't back out. Unfortunately it also caught others out.
Congrats to Risto.

 

4 races to go! Good luck everyone.

 

There is no rubber build up on the official server.

 

Has now been adressed (base track build does not have a rubber file).

 

Guys, what the hell is going on? First of all, just calm down in turn 1! Never heard of the term you never win a race in turn 1? Just unbelivable and im actually really embaressed by the quality you guys have in your racecraft! Second, organisers, when there is a huge 10 car crash in turn 1, there should be a red flag and restart the race. It just looks really stupid for outsiders and even fans of simracing....

I’m sorry guys, i’m just frustrated, hope you understand. Cheers//

 

Now im trying to take the most friendly approach i can.
First of all
Language please, both here and on server. Im not sure if you were on teamspeak (which is kinda obvious that you should be), but chatting during a race is a BIG no go, i warned everyone and still in race 2 i assume it was you (i am not a fan of nicknames, and is not gonna try and remember them) kept on chatting and complaining. There are several of reasons, one of the main reason is everytime you chat - everyone gets a notification in game which is annoying when you are driving.

Second of all - we dont do endless restarts - and lets not exaturate here - 5 cars were in the pile up, where 1 of them did that on himself the rest was after effects from Gassner trying to win the race in t1, outbraking himself, spinning around Luca D Amelio, meaning Siara, Alsabti, Shanks and Foosto had nowhere to go, but to back up and start again.

Thirdly - drivers then had a second chance of showing how good they were in the 2nd race, guess what it didnt go any better.
In T1 4 drivers including you tried to go 4 wide..it probably could have worked if everyone was not stubborn. But they were - leaving a car without a wheel and im not kidding you, that was not even enough for some of the drivers - inside the tunnel Fossto went left, into a car that was forced into the wall.

You can blame the car and the track all you´d like, but in the end - none of them could react to how some of the drivers behaved here.
Poor driving from some people which have been put in a list, clean up that driving will you!

Congratulations to Jeremy Bouteloup who clearly deserved that win - keeping out of trouble for both races - and must i add we had a lot of fun with the racing that was left, made for some very close battles.

 

I agree on one point, i went left in the tunnel, wich was a mistake and bot on purpose. but i didnt see or hear (i think pincez?) i thought there was no car on my left at all, i did check. But maybe i need to change my setting ingame where i see all 25 cars, i have it set to 8 cars now.

I got sabotaged in race 1, 3 times by cars who crashed far infront of me blocking the road on purpose running into me, thats why i DNF race 1.

And why should we call people names? My reaction is based on solely on the fact we had a massive crash in every race in turn 1 this far. I was not the one causing becuse i was always hit in my rear becuse of the car ahead always crashed. I have never seen anything like this ever, i have been racing for 20 years, and it just surprise me how these races went, i try my absolute best to be clean, but its just impossible becuse i cant do anyhthing when i get sandwiched every race. I would like to finish a race and i think everyone here wants too.

Cheers, and lets not call people names, i never did why should you?

Edit: post teamspeak, i cant find the link anywhere.

 

If you would have a look in the email that was sent out, just below the password for the servers.
I dont call people names, and i surely does not say anyone ran into you on purpose - i simply reported what i saw - if you get offended by that - then you shouldn't put you in that position.

Brush that event of you and move along, new race coming tonight, friday and sunday.

Todays top 5 was
