Maybe a mistake because I had done most of my practce with short gearing.

Medium. I dont know error or not.

Mikko is very ambitious.
But this League is very high level, if you want podiums, here really needs +300 practice laps and perfect setup. Except some drivers.

Ah now I know why my mini feel so slow all turn out

[Reissuleipa]

And I didn't even try short....even though 4th gear wasn't even close to limiter... well I'm a n00b with minis so I can forgive myself that.

0points and Im driving like a newbie...

[Paul Cowan]

I used med gears so that I could take turns 5 and 6 as virtually one corner and the car seemed more stable with that 'box anyway.

[Jimmy]

I used short gears, it just felt better on most places.
(+ I like high RPMs, its cool)

Seems cool revlimiter-action isn’t always the answer though ...
Nice pace Paul!

And ... Joni to ...

Guess both works pretty ok then.

Just some constructive criticism on your driving that I have noticed ever since I have raced with you whether in the Mini league, the (G)T-65 League in your Triumph and also when you join us in the Muscle Car League.

In all three leagues you are super fast. I would say you are as fast as some of the really fast guys which puts you in the not liked word of "Alien" group. You are consistently qualifying in the top 5 so you definitely have the speed that many of us are envious of.

Having made many videos with you in them and racing with you I feel that you tend to want to get to the front too fast passing too many at once. This causes you to make errors and you either crash yourself or crash into others. From my observations you need to just hone those fast skills and concentrate on being consistent and being patient. Don't try to overtake 10 cars before Turn one or by the end of lap one. You have the speed, now you need to concentrate on staying on the track and setting up your passing moment.
I would kill for your skill in speed. ---- If you just concentrate on honing those skills and make your fast speed consistent you will win many races and should have won many already. On a track like Jerez I found it hard to overtake.
In the video I watched how vFast1 and Remco raced for 3rd with Joni right behind them. vfast1 tried on many occasions to pass Remco without success. He tried these passes patiently and eventually after setting up Remco up on many corners finally managed to pass.
I think that sort of driving is what you need to concentrate on and the podiums will come and race wins will come. --- Plus as ReDi said, relax more and have fun. You will get there.

very poor race for me. in lap 1 I went out of road and I "miss" the checkpoint and lost 1 lap. In lap 3 I wrong again then press esc, sorry I was too dangerous ;) See you in Usa.

[Bluestar]

I had technical issues so missed the race. See you all next week.

What was problem, I watch your video maybe hour ago, all works good

[Professor]

I uploaded it and within a few minutes it said my music was banned............

Now the puzzling thing is that I used three songs in this video. -- I uploaded each song to YouTube individually just to see if they would get banned.... They did NOT.... So went ahead and added them to my video just to have them banned........ That angers me the most!!!

No banned, because I see it, and music works... Maybe something like:
What should I do?

No, I got a "Your audio was removed" message with no music at all...........

When I get an email to say "Your music is the property of WMG or UMG" that is normally not a good sign. When it says it belongs to Sony Music, normally that is fine.

Weird how YouTube deals with songs. I have also had the message "Your video is banned is some countries" - Seems that Germany is on that list.....

Video of Season 14, Race 3 at Jerez 1988.

Uploaded to YouTube 3 times. The 1st attempt I uploaded the 3 songs used individually without any problems. All songs were accepted. Then added the same 3 songs to the video and YouTube disabled the audio saying these songs were the property of whoever
2nd attempt was used with one song that I have used in numerous videos and once more it had the audio removed. --- Not wanting to bother anymore I decided to upload this video with just the cars sounds and said "Bugger YouTube's music policies"

I have to apologize to a few drivers for not being in the video that often.
Paul Cowan and Jimmy had major lag in the first 5 laps with there cars jumping and wheels aimed out sideways. So in the early running not much footage of the two of you. Sorry!! -- Danny Wilde's car was also hopping around a bit. Geoffers car had major lag almost all around the track as well as Toni Niemi. KarmaSteve had wheels aimed out sideways almost throughout the video. All the others seemed fine.
I know the beginning was due to a 22 car field. I have found that if you have a field of 18 there is no problem but as soon as you have 22 cars you have this lag problem. It did get better as some got disconnected. So to the drivers mentioned I apologize for the shortish of footage of you in the race. I tried my best to get all in at least a few times

So without further adieu

YouTube- Circuito de Jerez hosts a Mini League...

JESUS!!.. that just deafened me! cool video though

[JJC]

1st Class ! (I expected no less )

[Mikko_Skinnari]

nice job Prof!

[Toni Niemi]

Thx for great presentation of the race , nice job Professor
Weird about all that lagging , hope it will be better in coming races. I've never had any issues with it earlier. I know my ISP have had a maintence last night so i hope it'll be sorted out.

[DannyWilde]

One of the best videos of all time - great job by you and Youtube!
I think they did a fantastic job pushing you to remove the music from your videos. Without the music I tuned my speakers up for the first time (always turned the volumed a bit down before) because the sounds of that video are just awesome.

Mor of this!

[ReDi]

Grrrreat video covering all the action up and down the field. What an action-packed race it was!
