NO matter Alan, You've done a good job with the setup and your second stint was awsome...

GoGoGo FXO...

Congratulations friends!!!

Welldone Guys! GEN! (POWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH)

AWESOME!!!

Too long to tell you (at this moment) how much has happened in this race, I am to tired now...old man says....

I just can't find words to say how much respect I have for everyone of you guys, it was hard to keep motivated at times, but we worked great together and kept going at it....and results are showing the great racing spirit we have here!!

Special thx to Matty for doing a very boring job to keep me motivated when hopes were more like dreams, we had lost connection when my pc crashed so we had a permanent blue flag and there was no way for me to spot were my competitors were, Matty watched the tracker to tell me the lap times of the guys up front and spotted them for me on the map, every single laps for 3h....respect mate!


Congratulations to the XRT team, very consistent and very save driving guys!

Congratz to Genuine Racing XRT which has been ...

Nice race, i learnt a lot and now i could say that the race isn't finished untill the end's flag...

++

Congratz to both XRT and FXO drivers
Frozeni had some internet issues so we weren't able to finish the race but I don't mind too much because it was still a great experience and we learned some things
- Next time we need more drivers that can make the hardcore stints (from midnight to 8am) and less drivers that can only make the cool ones
- Next time we need to be organized far sooner! Changing the driver list Friday was bad

Gratz guys ! this is awesome ! 1st race of Genuine Racing, and already two car at the podium ! Such a great race for XRT which drive trough problems ! Only needed to fix damage sometimes, but no puncture, no big crash, and a DT Some nice fight on track and the final podium is so great !

Unlucky XFG :s

I thnk Fram deserves a big team hug, He did some amazing stints after such bad luck.
Also every other married man. Thank you goes out to their spouses for letting them playout so late :D

Good work guys , soooo so sorry I over slept my last stint. El Caprio, I owe you bigtime, Excellent driving dude on the double stint.
I was very Impressed and relieved to see you guys had fought back so well in the morning.
Seeing you in 3rd place, made this old man (trust me 5min past 8 this morning i felt about 70)
I could not stop watching the race, quite fascinating indeed.

Only Later on i discovered what you were talking about wtih Framaris, resepct for that Matty. ^
Matty Should be made Expert Race Analyst for events like this

XFG team, Unlucky guys maybe next time eh, Though its has me thinking. If such a competition arises similar to this.
We should perhaps assign back up team for any car we have in the event/ cross skilled to say.

XRT team, What can I say fought tooth and nail from the start, Very well deserved podioum spot in 1st.
Riccou Closed the gap nicely from what I saw and Darren looked comfortabel on the track in his last stint.
A lot of pressure no doubt though.
I learnt a Lot myself, yesterday, last night, and this morning :D
Great to hear everyones voice in TS. Strange how sometimge voices fit the characters you draw in your head.
Although DNB was not how I expected, maybe not enough "high Voltage", but Great to hear another northerner
Chatting away

Maybe I wont be as shy to use TS in future. Very Proud indeed for everyone involved.
Anyways, Have great rest of weekend

Just watch the replay, see how you guy closed gap during the night (XRT & FXO). That was such a nice race ! Amazing work for FXO ! Congratz guys, you would have deserve P1 !

some stats :

2960 kms, 123.33km/h average : 1m56s759 average lap !

nice one guys !

Hi guyz

Congratulations to all Genuine Racing team!!!! I followed the race during the weekend, that was awesome!

Genuine Rocks!!!!

Congratulations to all! It was an amazing race to watch.The XRT team winners were superb.
Having to pass all those back markers constantly was amazing skills.

Hello everyone,

I'm not good at making speeches, so I'll make it short! lol

What incredible first Genuine Racing race, I would never imagine that we will win a 24 hours race for a first one. But we did! However, the victory was not the most important. The most important thing was to work all together and see what we were capable. We have seen! Haha

We were lucky unlike the FXO who should have taken the top step of the podium! Sorry for you buddies, it will be for next time, I doubt it! You have been excellent, really missed you this, the chance! And it is a very important factor in a race, the chance, especially in endurance.

What a pleasure to be able to speak with Allan and Darren, finally! Sorry to speak French often on teamspeak, we have nevertheless made an effort to speak English. At gladly spend more quality time with you on TS!

Thanks to Mr. Framarisk(the cousin of Chuck Norisk), for everything he does for us. You rock the pony François^ _ ^ (french internet expression, tu rox du poney france3! lol)
And special thanks to Darren and Ricou who been high(voltage) quality drivers during this race, it wouldnt be possible without you...

Well, now that I've done well with my shit I say BRAVO to ALL and see you soon for new adventures!






(Sorry for english) i used google translate...

Been avoiding making this post for 24H now, with my big mouth always telling you guys what you have to do with your pc's to avoid having crashes, lag or time outs, I was looking pretty stupid when in the middle of the good stint (we were coming back from 8th and we just took over second place from the xrt and were catching fast on the first) when my pc crashed miserably (I noted the speed of the impact 187km/h hahaha), rebooted the machine and started TS asap, asked there if someone took over and I jumped on the server to go on with the stint, of course carpio wasn't on ts and he had token over which I have missed, so I rejoin and saw carpio disconnected...at that moment I really thought I had fucked up for everyone, we were like 8th almost 6 laps down and still a good part of the evening and all night to go without much motivation...smoke was coming out of my hears, if I had a gun I would have shot my pc in the foot for letting me down...

Anyway my team mates were still motivated, so after a while frustrations were over and I found some pace back, at first we thought we try to catch 6th then 4th and we started to dream about a podium...everything which can go wrong in a long race went wrong, penalties, crashes, long repair,engine damage, lags and pc crash, but the spirit remained high and everyone was supporting each other, sharing and taking decisions together, I think any team leader in real life would have been really really proud to have some of the most motivated guys you can ever dream off, I know I was big time!! I always say ''you can't make an omelet without breaking eggs'', well this race was a big omelet, but what a sweet test in the end!

Now for TS, I game for as many years as I can remember and I have avoided it for a long time too, mainly because my experiences with it were quite negative, I had the feeling it was more distracting than instructive, but I have to say that for racing it is an important tool, like in most racing car today you have radio contact with the pit, so TS is like the pit and the car channel is its radio ...That said this weekend felt like I was at home with friends having great fun, I thought it was crazy to do race for 24H and it is, but what a joy when you can share it with some of your best mates!

Carpio, Matty, general, it was an honour to race with you guys and I hope we can do that again together soon!!!

@Genuine bloody XRT: This time you have been lucky, but don't rest, we will be back with a BANG!

And never forget, the race ends when the fat lady sings....
