Razor will not be taking part.
He only received my email this morning.

I'll practice tonight after my international races...hope to see you guys then!

Kevin I have suggestions, what about to add formation lap ? I hate when I have to start race with cold tires. and on the top we race for the best place from the beggining. Of course after few cornes (spread the field then race). I always feel se hopeless when my car slips from corner to corner and lossing time. Just a waste. Just my oppinion but I think we are not dummies from public racing to make collisions during formation lap..

I hear what you say. We used to do formation but the drivers found it better to do standing.
We will see for the next series. We can't change while we busy with the current series.

I mean formation lap with standing start, NOT formation lap with rolling start (it can be set like that). Anyway its easy to setup, just click one squere in dedicated server option.. but ok, see you on the track today

I do formation laps in the GPVWC...its kinda fun and real, does mean more fuel in the car for a extra lap so thats another thing to consider for races with cars that cant be filled during a race like the F3's. You can also miss your start position and get penalty (yes i did this once haha) and it is like a build up lap or calm before the storm.

But a cool idea I'd go with or without it.

just slow down and hit the red square, if you are able to do it during pits stop and not ruining your race, so theres no reason to miss it during formation lap  .. F3 with cold tires, hard times for me

The reason we stopped it is because the guys kept overtaking during warmup lap or they spun out and battled to get to the starting grid again.
It sounds easy, but believe me, keeping drivers from overtaking or spinning tires till they off the track in reality, are two different things, they NEVER stay in position or they ride into the car in front.
We will try again in the next series and see what happens.

Lol i see that happen in GPVWC too Kevin, when i do i rub my hands cause places are so hard to get there hahaha.

lol I have never faced that even in oublic racing. and im more public racer . nkw league. maybe i had luck for good ppl. so warn them with point penalities and they stop doing that. its working in iracing for example :-D itsnreally stupid that they cant controll their behaving

HAHAHA been there, done that! It's like 12 puppies on one side and a piece of biltong on the other side of the room.....it's a case of GO BOY!!!!

LOL Kevin. Love the metaphor!

That was a enjoyable round. Track was very nice thank you Eugene for creating a real gem sorry you were not able to enjoy it with us.

I was expecting Ryan to be super fast here and then fit myself in 3rd or 4th somewhere but somehow i got pole for race 1 and P2 for race 2.

Race 1 i was able to pull a gap as Ryan made a small mistake and after recovering had to fight in a pack and then pitted early to avoid lag issues. By then i was ahead enough...and cruising till i pitted and saw him within 3 seconds...at that point i always drove off the track haha. I put my head down from there and got the win.

Race 2 i got a good start and got along side Ryan but gave way into turn 2 and slotted in behind Ryan and thats how it stayed for along time. I eventually made a small mistake and lost a few seconds to Ryan. Nearing the end my pace started to pick up again and i was keenly watching the gap to Ryan then did my pit stop...never to see Ryan again! As luck had it Ryan got disconnected. What a real shame as that was a easy win in the bag lost. Really sorry for Ryan so i picked up a lucky win in race 2.

Well done to the guys, nice clean races and starts form my point of view. So far my 2 favourite rounds for these cars are both local tracks that Eugene created for us Aldo Scribante and Kyalami really are fun.

See you guys at the next one. Thanks to Shadow Racing for hosting a great race meeting.

The round at Kyalami went very well.

I would like to thank Eugene for all of his hard work on the track and I am really heart-sore he was not able to race with us. I can however tell you that the track was a huge success and I think most of the drivers really enjoyed driving there. It really suited these cars in my opinion.
I started going much quicker during the two races than when I did some practice before the race. Was a bit lonely towards the back of the field though and I really need to pick up the pace for the next round.

Thank you all who took part and well done Denis on some good driving. I also feel sorry for Ryan who is the driver to catch in this series. I'm sure he will be super fast for the next round. Bad luck my buddy!

Thank you all.

Not sure why I was off pace on this track but I just could not find a decent time and rhythm. With a mid field qualifying session I at least did well to end up more towards the front.
With Ryan's game hanging (not disconnected as I thought) and mistakes from other guys, I at least progress to second place in the race. Glad that Dirk liked the track to get a good result, or is it a case of finally get to grips with the cars? WD Denis with you win for both races.
See you all at the next event.

Absolutely bad racing weekend for me.
Race 1 Pushed into gravel on 2nd place rejoin in 5th place. going pit stop, Im idiot, forgot to turn off damage repair, and ended 6th.

Race 2 At start I was push into gravel. Dont know what happened. I remeber that ford card was pushed from another guy into me and i just went of thanks to that,  and rejoined 10th, gained some position. I was 5th and then I made my own mistake and I gave it up. so frustrated.
