Race started early. I was in the lobby at 21:38 my time, but the race was already in progress . That's because qually was only five minutes long. I was still wondering about the answer to John's tyre question when the engines started revving so I missed the start. Never saw any lights. Then someone knocked me onto the grass just after Church and my race was knackered. Well done to John. Classic drive through the pack.

Had several races at Thruxton recently, and never comfortable in any of them..! This was the same, just not happy with the feel of the Escort from the off. Some good laps with Nik though, that was fun.
Apologies for my "no probs" message during the race - there was no-one near me at the time, but i accidentally caught one of my quickchat buttons.
Congrats John, cyu next time.

B'ah, Matt you numpty ! chastise yourself with a whipping stick ! oh well, in a damage limitation kind of way, my nearest rivals Animal Ed (no show) got no points and Legzy (fiercest muck about sparring partner) only bagged 4 points, so with Alex also in the mix its a 4-way fight for,...erm, 7th in the championship! Until next time

Yea mate that was fun, 2 bad my front left tyre was gone I couldn't really push anymore towards the end. Great recovery after the spin couple of more laps u would have passed me.

well, pole position! a miracle with 2 lion like johnw and Scarpa running for this race! A piece of cake! but my pace was slower than my opponents, and during the race, i was passed until to lose 3 positions. during the laps, john w arrived like a red rocket behind me and he passed me without any difficult. good job , i'd like to drive with your style. then was the geoffers moment, and also he passed me. during the last lap, a lagging goldtop , reached me until to get my 3 position. very very funny race for me , how ever! c u on last track of championshig next thursday!

I don't understand why the qual was set at 5 mins, It usually sits at 20 mins, and never changes so I missed it. I guess someone must have reduced it for practice server duty, dunno, I should have checked it though. @Tahander These series will probably run all year, that's what we normally do. The event list is only races that I have had time to create so far. When we get to the end of the season I will post that "The next race is the season finale" or something like that.

When I restart P&G I always accept the defaults but definitely hadn't changed anything

Maybe I changed it the previous week when we were possibly going to use the server at short notice. Dunno, I will endeavour to get it right in future.

One of the circuits that I always enjoy driving and was especially nice to have an Alfa available Start and opening few laps were a bit hectic with some side to side contact which I eventually profited from. Had a very close few laps with Alessandro until I managed to sneak past into 3rd. Stayed that way until a few laps to go when I noticed John was closing at the rate of 1 sec/lap and would catch me with a couple of laps to go Unfortunately I panicked and lost it at the chicane allowing John, Geoff and Alessandro through Around this time Giuseppe unfortunately disappeared from the lead and I started getting "game synchronising" messages and thought I was about to follow him into the ether. I managed to close and sneak past Alessandro on the last lap for 3rd place, but I believe my lagging distracted him which took the shine off for me.....again sorry about that Alessandro. Congrats to John and Geoffers
