Was there ever a track so perfectly designed……………………………………………to enable the little lady’s cars to shovel Lotus 43s out of their way?

If it were not for the fact that I’m so piggin slow here, I would not fancy my chances of reaching the end of lap one before having to fish a wee Ferrari out of one of my pockets!  Thankfully they should all start in front of me!

Even Ken!

Since there's been some discussion about it behind scenes, I'm posting a reminder here. All races count towards the final standings. In other gpl divisions it's the best 8 of 10 races, in historic it's all of them. It was stated as such before the season, but some members didn't know. Hence this remainder, and I'll probably repeat it in the next race announcement, which should do the trick.

I spent most of the race fending off the close attentions of Mike B's BRM which I think was was trying to make up for lost ground from an earlier off. After a few attempts at passing me in various places around the track he pulled off a demon outbraking manouver into Tarzan and made it stick.

Sorry Mike if I slowed your progress for a while but I must say I did enjoy the company

I think my newly purchased car needs a bit more work doing to it in the set up department,  as I seemed to struggle getting it out of the slower corners.

     

That has to be one of the most enjoyable Zandy races I've had in a while. I managed to keep my 3rd place after the first few laps but Paul was looking very keen behind me. Eventually he got passed when I had it at a 45° angle half on the grass, but he later went gardening in turn 1 on the next lap. That was seriously tense (and very much like the BTCC) when you're trying to find a way past the car in front and defend like mad at the same time.

With Kruger in front of me it has rematch written all over it and things were getting close. As Kruger said he put a wheel on the grass and I got a look down the inside.


I had a look at the replay and it was just a warp tap I didn't feel anything so just assumed you had made a mistake, but you did nothing wrong. Really hate it when small warps end someones race like that.

After all that I was in 2nd with Lorenzo in front. I wasn't sure I was able to catch him but as the race progressed I seemed to have the advantages in the corners. In the handling department I had the advantage, but in the power department, I well, didn't have any. This was another pretty tense battle I nearly got a look in to pass when we were passing backmarkers but I got myself boxed in lol.

Hmmm.....

Was just wondering if we could bring back the death penalty for anyone found guilty of causing a Lotus 43 to be inverted. 

When you are up inside one of the tail pipes it only needs a miniscule warp to set all hell loose. 

Hang 'im!!!!!!

I was merely attempting to adjust Mr Loynes valve clearances in order that he might be able to go a little quicker
Big apologies to Clive, the flogging will be in public and all revenue from ticket sales will go to the Loynes Lotus Performance Improvement Fund.
