@Robert The guys here always help me alot with setups and all other usefull hints. Claudios setup-collection, expanded TS-discussions with Axel about setting a car right and also some very helpfull inputs from Lasse make it possible. A great community! @Claudio ..yeah, I was expecting you to come closer soon. As I watched the replay I saw that your and Sanjins car didn´t even have real contact -there still was about 1m between you. I think you also moved a little bit to the right side and that was it -bad, bad luck!
Dass wir alle Lotus fahren war mir entgangen, hatte erst nach ein paar mal joinen gemerkt, dass es nicht an mir lag :-) Für sowas habe ich kein Setup, also ging das Quali fürs Anpassen des Lotus Standardsetups drauf. So richtig gut wurde es nicht, vor allem fehlte Topspeed.
Trotzdem war es bis ganz kurz vor Schluss auch für mich ein überraschend spannendes Rennen, man hat immer jemanden gesehen. Leider hatten Cookie und ich dann eine Berührung, die ihn sein Rennen kostete.
@Cookie Bin mir nicht sicher, wer an dem Schlamassel wielviel Schuld hat: Ich war links und wusste, dass du rechts bist, bin aber bei der Rüberguckerei im Vorfeld trotzdem ein Stück nach rechts gedriftet. So ganz schuldlos bin ich also nicht. Aber das Ganze lief ziemlich weit auf meiner Seite ab, also allein war ich es bestimmt auch nicht, oder? Tut mir leid um dein Rennen!
Ja, mit dem einen kann man's mit dem anderen halt nicht...
Du bist schon deutlich nach rechts gedrifted, schau Dir die Sequenz von 0:58:30 bis 0:58:35 (crash box Kontakt) schrittweise im TV1 an

It was good to see Tim stay somewhat close to Rob. One spin and Rob could have lost the lead. There may not be any other driver as dedicated to improving as Rob. It looks like Mario fought hard to try to catch the leaders. I tried hard to stay within 1 second of Mario's lap times. I wasn't able to do that much.
It was nice to get out of the Honda for two races. My determination and concentration isn't good enough to consistently do well with it.
I'm a little disappointed with myself. I couldn't qualify or average within 1 second of Rob's times. I'm not sure if my fastest lap was set in the slipstream or whether I'm 0.5 seconds slower than I was in the past. I was stuck at 2:18.0*. Had I been willing to spend several hours practicing, I might have been able to qualify in front of Rainier and possibly got a slipstream from the fast guys early in the race. I went with consistency and a predictable setup.
P4 was an excellent finish for me. Attrition and consistency helped me tremendously. Axel and I ran many laps with almost identical times. The only way I opened a gap was slight mistakes or traffic slowing him some. It wasn't until late in the race when my times dropped under 2:18.5 that I actually increased my lead by being faster.
@Lasse, I guess you don't pamper the DFV enough. I was worried about my engine failing. I destroyed 3 of them during qualifying. Luckily, I could coast to the pits each time.
Happy Birthday Rob!
Take care guys and thanks for letting me race with you.

Thanks Greg, appreciate it.
You, like Axel, know first hand how I have improved. It's a shame you also have been hampered by physical difficulties, but I believe you can overcome adversity and getting older. You are one of the GPL drivers I do respect the most, and I do regard you as a good online friend

Ja Hallo! Nachträglich alles alles gute, Junger Mann!

´s at the front. I´ll never come close to laptimes like that!
