Ruskus, purely out of curiosity. What times would you do in a Cortina or Alfa?

Whilst its not always an entirely accurate source, the times for Limerock at GTL Rank are telling. Anybody doing 101's in the Alfa will be shot and its interesting to see the Mini up there  Gawd, please don't let Pseudo be faster than me with FWD.

Talking of GTL Rank check out Limerock/any TC65 car, entry No.157

LOL. I've never driven the Cortina at Lime Rock, so it's probably a laptime I did at another track, but got recorded wrongly. I've also not update my career.blt in months, maybe even in a year, so it's not a time I've done recently .

I'll see what I can do in the Alfa or Cortina when I've time. I might even take the Mini out for a spin

I bet I could beat you if we were both driving a Mini.

It only took me 2 laps to do a 01:01.482 in the Alfa, that's how easy that car is .
In the Cortine a did a 01:02.432, and the Mini 01:03.785.

All were done with only a few laps practice, but all are faster than I did with more practice in the Falcon .

Makes me want to take up something more racey..........

like needlepoint

[psuedo]

Well that was fun (not) 

Couldn't get a clean lap in qually....always either costly 1 mistake, held up or something.

That reminds me....please dont chat during qually, it is distracting and part of the rules  ...save your appologies till later 

Got a great start...fairly zoomed away off the line and passed 3 almost stationary cars...got a loverly run round turn 1 too...round the outside using the mini's fwd to drag me round...passed 2 or three of the very uncomfortable looking tanks.....Then Wiltshire Tony's car appeared right in front of me out of thin air and whallop...busted suspension....(not anything you did wrong btw Tony....just a bit of lag or something)
Kept going for a lap or two but I was struggling here without chance for praccy even with a healthy car...so decided I was not going to enjoy myself and quit out.

Av fun....grats to Jeff winner and podium.

The results will be posted this evening, but may be slightly delayed and a little later than normal.

2 stop-gos in 11 laps for cutting the track when I wasn't.
Couldn't be bothered to try and fight the track any longer.

Race ruined by the dreaded lag again, oh well see you all at Knockhill

[Dave 'Gizmo' Gymer]

Utter chaos at the start with the very tight grid a crazy mix of cars. Managed to avoid much of the carnage  but by half distance my grip was AWOL and I had several offs gradually worsening the handling further.

Got dive bombed once or twice by 'slower' cars - can't say I blame them but a bit silly when they do it and can't actually make the corner. Final straw was getting run off by another Falcon and then spun by a following 'slow' car who simply ran right into the back of me, at which point quit rather than prolong the agony for no points and virtually last place.

Had a nice race with lots of fights with a lot of diiferent folks.
But made an major error on top of the hill what created some probs for other cars.
I'm very sorry if I caused someone his race / points .

Alex , what happened ?  Such a good quali and the a pistop after 1 lap ?
Cutting track again 

[Alex vV]

.. for no points and virtually last place.

Hate to disappoint you but I was dead last. Left my brains somewhere on the track or something but got stop/go penalty for cutting track at first corner (which was totally right I must admit..) and then hesitated if I indeed took the penalty at my stop.. so I pitted again..

Came back just in front of leaders so the whole race was traffic mayhem.. if I got in anybody's way, please let me know (in a mod report)..

I had a great race tho, even watched some Mustangs battle it out...

ARAGHREHGGHRHGRHGRHGHHHHH

I can't beleive it, I held 5th place basically the entire race, and it comes down to the last 3 laps and I guff it and almost get 9th. I'm pretty choked how I lost 5th.

I had a good fight with Gilliand for a few laps, then pulled away into 5th, and it was pretty much smooth sailing, as I built a 7second gap on 6th, and had a 7 second gap in front of me on 4th. I was almost certain Blunder was in the top 4, but as I was moving around the back markers 6th place starts making large chunks into my gap on him, next thing I know it's Mr.1:02 Mason behind me, so I basically yeilded 5th to him after on pathetic lap attempt to hold it. After this lap I got to thinking "where the hell did he come from, and why was he behind me?" and I flew off T1 a little to fast and destroyed my front end. Blew a 14 second gap on 7th and 8th, and was losing time on track due to the damage pulling me to the right and affecting my overall top speed. I literally ALMOST lost 8th place to TinMan whne I crossed the finish line.

I couldn't beleive whne I saw the Race finished message, I was so releived.

I'm happy with 8th, But I'm really ticked off I lost 5th in that manner. Oh well, probably my only chance this season to score decent points, and I got a bit more than I usually would have.

Fun race all! Ruskus, you owe us an erotic webcam dance with an umbrella
