Grats to Erling on a well deserved victory - you were out of our league in this race!
Thanks, but it was really just the car - I can't take much of the credit for it

Have to say that last night's race was one of the most enjoyable events I've attended in recent memory. Always some action somewhere and it's a period of motorsport I'm very keen on.
Thanks to everyone who turned out and made this such a good evenings racing.
As stated previously, we are running the 1965 BSCC in 2022. So it's farewell to the Falcon's and Jags and Hi to two classes of Mini's
Hope you can all make it in 2022.

Results: after my stop and go (lap 4 or 5 ?) I happily did my laps somewhere between Dimi and Clive so that would make my position 10th. The shown 5th is Matt’s after a solid drive in the Alfa.
Ok, thanks for the info. I'll review the replay this pm and adjust any error's accordingly. BTW I did an amazing job of screwing up the results last night. All my fault so sorry for the confusion and delay. @ Tony: I'm not quite sure if you screwed up the results or the server, because I'm unable to create the results as all participants are DNF in the logfile. So no results this time. In fact one of the most enjoyable races ever, especially in the opening stages. Sorry for some slight tabs to Dimi and others & sorry to Tony if there was an incident (did not watch the replay). Using virtual mirrors which in fact creates a big blind spot. Used Geoffer's GTAm setup from Monday's race (thanks again) for the Giulia and it worked real fine (I assume both cars share similar physics). Was a bit surprised that I was able to catch Dimi who seemed to be considerably faster in the opening stages of the race and slightly slower than Christian in the other Jag. Looking forward to next years series Thanks Tony for the creation Happy Birthday subsequently, Erling

Amazing fight with Kurt mostly and a short one with Matt. The other part was me fighting the car trying somehow to stay with Cris. Grats to the podium. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zne8Fx0-5UoYou can take a look on the final standings on the video. great video - as always, Dimi

You can open the race file and delete the DNF's but no idea what else you have to do, sorry

So much to say, would probably be typing for hopurs if I wrote it all here....
Cortina was my option, had saved 2 drives in it for some reason that escapes me. Knew Erling would be impossible to stay with, but as he says if the gap was small enough as his tyres went off on the Falcon then maybe the end of the race could be close-ish....No idea where Hristo got his laptime in the Jag from for 2nd on the grid though, epic pace in the old girl!
Clean start, clean through paddock as well which doesn't always happen, but sadly there were some shenanigans at Druids. I arrived at the apex to find a Falcon elegantly draped over the full width of at least half the track, and though I moved all the way to the inside there was just no way to avoid it. I could have dived onto the grass, but was aware of then spinning into the wall myself, and being completely trapped, so chose to hit the front end in an attempt to put Erling out of my way as gently as possible. Seemed to work, if fact very much too well for us as competitors because he essentially immediately steamed off into the distance! The contact had robbed me of speed, and I had to work back up to the tail of Geoffers to make a challenge. Good dice was eventually decided in my favour by a run wide at the exit of Clearways, and I got my head down in an attempt to keep any kind of gap on the rapidly closing Hristo.
Sadly, I just wasn't as consistent as usual last night, the setup certainly was not as sweet as it had been at Silverstone, and I think a bit of damage had been done in the contact with the land barge Falcon. This meant not only did I not pull away from Geoff at all, but then Hristo in the Jag hove into view in the rear mirror. As he said, we then ended up kind of gifting the place to him, but at least it gave me a chance to follow a very sideways Jag for a good few laps as we diced, running very similar laptimes for quite some time but in a very different fashion! Eventually it all got the better of me, and I got drawn into a 'who can be the most out of shape' duel, followed by a 'how many corners on the trot can we be alongside' contest. All of which was fantastic fun to be fair, but every time I got my nose in front I would balls up a little and he went back through. Was essentially 10 laps or so of hilarity, but I then I sent one up the inside that proved to be one too many and round I went....
So, now following Geoffers, about 3 seconds or so ahead, but I was faster by a small amount. Just needed to get in the tow, and it would be game on. Hristo was also not far enough away for us both not to catch him in the remaining 7 laps. Got onto the tail of Geoffers eventually with 3 laps left, and we had both closed on Hristo, so it could well be a great finish I thought. Sadly, between myself and Geoffers it was so tight on laptime that any overtake was going to be difficult. And this proved to decisive, as we ended up taking ourselves out of the running, more my doing I am sure as I was mostly following...Apologies if anything was out of order Geoff, I am going to have to check the replay to remind myself of what happened as it has formed a blur now.....
Great racing, shame about the errors, but that can partly be blamed on having to push hard I suppose. Outrageous pace in the Jag Hristo, and if I drove it like that the tyres would be destroyed in about 10 lap, so how you kept it going forward at that pace I have no idea.
Super clean victory for Erling in the end, congratulations all round.

The tyres (of the Jag at least) seem to have a fairly large peak slip angle, so as long as you don't go over that, the wear is not that bad, even with seemingly big angles of attack / sideways action. I was trying to do more of my acceleration in a straighter line to look after my tyres even more, but I doubt it made that much of a difference. The wear became more of a factor after mid distance and I could tell that both your and Geoffers' Cortinas were gaining on me ever so slightly. If it wasn't for mistakes and time lost from dueling each other, I doubt I could've held onto 2nd. You can check my driving (and wear) on the stream recording https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1169259331

Giving the file the correct name and adding some fictional racetimes solved the problem. Order and position graph should be okay. Added Robby with fictional times & race length, as I dont know the real standings for him. Result
