Really sorry to hear Doni :'( Just hoping for some better luck for you, buddy
Paul's server has always been kind to me, but of course you can't buy anything for that...just hoping your luck concerning connection/warp will improve...sometimes it's very hard to put a finger on what's the problem...it could just be a whale in the ocean so to speak...
We should be very thankful for private servers like Paul's and Axel's...would be great if we could add a few...so far I've had only probs with T7 seeing (server)warp...you can be sure UKGPL does its best to provide good raceservers...
As far my race, I hoped for consistent FPS, and that went well, very happy about that. Had a good quali and was able to do a sub27 in clean air, which was good for pole. I think I did underestimate the capabilities of the Cooper, which lacks on the straights but is very good handling.
Race started well, took the lead, but Piero was able to pass me on the straight. Inherited the lead again when he went wide in May, and Jethro was not too far away behind me. But Piero charged up again, and I made a mistake in Jops and he could pass me again. Piero went through the lapped cars better than me, and then I had a brainfart in May, totally missed the turn and went hard into the fences.
Car was damaged, but in F2 minor problems don't matter too much...

Robert Fleurke - spotters reporting:
minor problems with left front tire.
minor problems with left rear tire.
minor problems with left front suspension.
medium problems with left rear suspension.
minor problems with right rear suspension.
Had some more understeer in righthanders, and had to adjust driving, but being angry with myself I started to push like hell, and was able to improve the current UKGPL race laprecord. When Jethro did a halfspin out of Toulo, I inherited P2, and I'm still not sure what happened to Piero, who deserved to win...
In short terms, got very lucky to win, that I didn't deserve, despite my pace. Had a few bad laps and messed up May once. The Cooper is a great handicap at tracks like Spa/Monza, but at fluent tracks where handling is important, it's pretty competitive...so Ronnie, I like to apologize to you saying the Coop was at least 1s slower than the top chassis in F2 on most tracks. On this track maybe a few tenths...
Congrats to Grid A winner and podium, sry to hear about the problems...well done Jethro and Phil for podium finishes in Grid B. Commiserations to all who suffered from bad luck in whatever way...
