looking forward to this one.
After connection problems in the endurance I hope all goes well here.
I'm happy I've got the Lambo going as well as I can

What car will you be driving stew? I'm sure somebody can help you out. I'd offer mine if you need some help. The lambo is my main car, but i have a set up for a few cars around here. Remember though different people have different ideas what a good set up is.

The Sinclair C5 is not the best choice for Monza, but I'll try to pick off some stragglers tonight . I suggest that you place an advert selling yourself to a prospective team Stew. If your're fast, Team Teeth will be in touch . If not, then all the teams will provide the setup and track help that you may need at the mo. It will only add to your fun

when picking up a car - keep in mind monza is very atypical track, pick a car that feels best for you at average track or you'll be stuck with something you don't like later on. or just load Spa and see what happens, if the car's ok there, it's ok everywhere.

Thanks guys, I think my driving needs to improve b4 I join a team (2 races, 2 last places 2 laps down, inc. 2 punctures ), but any help would be greatfully received. I'm mainly using The Lambo & M3 at the moment. Will try to find good set-up for Lambo tonight if there is space.

Never expected much here in the lambo especially with the extra weight.
Qualified 5th but was not happy with the time.
Manged to give Ruskus a few frights during the first lap. Managed to draw alongside him before his extra grunt pulled the gap back. Got the draft off him out of last bend and manged to get my nose ahead by first corner only to find Paul Richards in the middle of the track and I had to give way.
Ruskus gained 3 seconds straight off and i could only watch him ease away. Ended up on my own for the rest of the race, managed to out brake myself a few times but nothing exciting to report at all.
Kindly handed 3rd on a plate by Ruskus, I can only assume to a stop and go.
Well done Zacari and Freq

For the first time in 3 races my PC didn't lock up at the start. I didn't run PD monitor this time, wonder if that's what made the difference?
Best race I've had at Monza, very close in the midfield.

Unlucky Reign Another tough race at Monza but quite enjoyed myself despite being further down the grid than i would like. Qualied a good 10th, leaping 4 places in the process with a good lap. (Still cant break into those 42's though ) Kept it all clean at race start involved in some good little battles, but as everyone got upto speed i just started going back down the order as everyone drafted past me like i was standing still I was running a 2 rear wing, what were you guys on? Being unfamiliar with the Lambo i feared that the 41mins fuel shown for a full tank would be very marginal to finish the race and so i turned the revs down a few notches...looks like that was a bad move Think i dropped something like 4 to 5 places but clawed some back later as others had errors, but no pace in the car or me to catch people on track other than hang onto their shirt tails a few times. I enjoyed brief battles with Mo,Jure and Backo before they left me for dead Lost two places late on when i double down shifted at T1 and Baracus and Jure got past. Fortunately for me they both had late incidents and i got my two slots back Enjoyed the race but felt like i couldnt race anyone on track as everyone else seemed faster Going away scatching my head setup wise Congrats to Zacari and the two pody guys.

Good and bad thing this race. The weight was terrible and couldn't feel competitive untill I surprised myself with a 41'9 . My first few laps were very slow as tires had to warm up, and Brian was all over me. After few laps he drafted alongside me heading towards T1, but because Paul R. spun, he couldn't continue his attack....thanks Paul . After that I could slowly increase the gap between me and Brian. But the gap infront increased as well, which left me in a gap . But because FreQ and Zacari were battling hard I was gaining some time. With 6 minutes to go I was right behind FreQ untill I got my 3rd c/t warning at Ascari :'(. Rejoined in 9th. With 4 minutes after that it was gonna get tight. Gained a place with TT spinning in T1. Who says Legends never help out others ? Then I was behind Aagramn, and to my surprise, the Lister powered away after Parabolica . We were both heading towards Parabolica in the last lap, last corner, and he went a bit wide and I could take the inside and get 6th, losing 30kilo's for Adria Grats Zacari for the win, and Team Shark for getting 1st-4th (should have been 5th )

I had nice, long going tussle with SBG. I lost count how many times we swapped places. Were you guys using C6Rs? Not used to be taken out on a straight by a Corvette. I was doing a lot of little mistakes which prevented me to close with the front drivers, also, small battles on the way with many drivers were delicious, but time consuming. Special mention to Aagramn - how very fast that Lister was!!! Always closing on braking, high speed on a straight, slipstream just sucked it flying. At the end I had a great battle with Mark McClean and on the very last lap I missed my braking point, picked Mark on braking and we lost 3 places in process. Again, I'm very sorry and so at me. Finished 9th, while 4th (I think) was my best position in this dynamic race. TT
