Season 30 Professionals Trophy – Round 10 – Albi

For Round 10 we go to France, to be exact to the small town of Albi in the Midi-Pyrénées region.  Racing first started on the Circuit des Planques in 1933, the pits and startline being on a short straight before the road twisted down into St.Antoine. At St.Juery the cars had to contend with an extreme hairpin bend, followed by a railway level crossing. The 5.531 mile circuit was shortened in 1951 to 1.859 miles, before being closed in 1955 following the Le Mans disaster. Racing resumed at the nearby Aerodrome in 1959 which is the circuit we now know as Albi. The Chicane du Sequestre was introduced in 1988 but we will be using the original layout as raced in 1967.

Tristan Bot already has clinched the championship, many congrats!

Sad to here that Robert , hope things get better for you and soon , we all get a bit despondent at times , hope things aren't so bad for you and yours

Sorry to hear this news Robert but I am also thinking about another retirement from GPL for the same fun/motivation reasons.
I'm going to see the season out & decide my future in the off season.

I hope you can sort out the personal stuff, GPL is way less important imo.

Stupid real life. Hope your stuff gets sorted soon, Rob.

Grats Roo, Clive and Dean. We had fun with the gaps once it settled down.

Robert, sorry to hear that you're suffering as you are always a star here.

Pole was a bit of a surprise. Axel & Clive were close to nicking it at the end of the session while I was testing race fuel.
Got a good start & tried to break the tow to Doni over the opening laps. After he dropped back I monitored the gap to Axel & Clive. I was holding my own so tried not to push too much but on the final lap I got a bit cocky & spun in the long T1, hitting the barrier but luckily keeping all my wheels.

Stoked to set fastest lap too to take the hat-trick

Grats finishers, shame there were not more.
Thanks admins, cu at Brands.

Thanks all for the nice words, appreciate it, I'll recover. Also thanks to Gizmo, for monitoring the thread.

Andy of all guys does not deserve to be treated like that...

Gentlemen,
Can I remind you that Dave Gymer provides this forum for the benefit of us all. In return he requires that we are courteous to other users. We have all had occasions where we are less than happy with an on-track incident but there is a reporting system to deal with that & no excuse for misusing the forum.
I can only apologise to Dave on behalf of the UKGPL Community that he has had to take action.

Thanks - on behalf of the Moderating team.
