Everyone knows that million-to-one chances happen 9 times out of 10. Why the hell do I keep crashing then?!

Hi guys, decided to join you for this round, provided there is enough room on the server for an extra starter . I have just registered in the Season 26 F2 Trophy poll. Will drive the Brabham BT14.

Well, managed to get into qually session late (luckily still a slot available!) then had some wheel issues, so couple of disconnect/reconnects to try to get that under control.
At the start of the race, sat on the grid - but eerily all alone; with a view of pretty much the start/finish straight as I was so far back. DSL had dropped out between end of qually & start of race.
Shame, was looking forward to potentially some fun tussles at the back.
Nevermind. On with the washing machine then...
GL all!
Dave.

Well that was good fun. Annoyed I had to reset after a crash, but it only cost me one place in the end. The top 3 finishers were too fast for me tonight.
I have already looked at the stats on replay, and I think many drivers tonight did a little too much exploration of the track limits. There is certainly one person I'd have looged a complaint against, had they finished ahead of me. I had 23/26 on track laps. One of those fails I was upside down, another I was avoiding Ronnie after he had an incident, not sure about the other one.
Overall, looks like a P3 for me in the A championship. Nice way to end the season, unlike the 66s last week..
Thanks to all, esp the mods.
Arf

Quali was very good, even with hardly a tow, comfortably got pole. Plan was to break the draft early in the race with a car that has less topspeed than the MS7, and that happened, Lap 1 and 2 were very good! Was leading Roberto 11s, until I hit the inside wall in T1, and wrecked hard! I was too loose on turn in, after tires got hotter, and lost focus. Just could stay in front of RT, but car was damaged and got even looser on turn in. Every turn was a challenge, and couldn't run really fast laps. Concentrated to keep RT at bay and out of the draft, but almost threw the win away in the last lap... Rarely have had such a tough race concerning handling, and was really annoyed about my crash earlier in the race, but happy with the win Happy to be able to race, and keeping the championship alive after last race' debacle! Bring on Brands Hatch!

It was looking like a close race from the quali times. I was feeling good on cold tyres and was able to hassle Roberto for the first few laps until a warp contact at T3 fired me off and I was dropped to about 12th I think. Luckily no damage done and I did not need a reset or SnG. So back onto the track and burn rubber...................... The rest of the race was 99% on the limit and 1% over the limit at times as I picked up places until I was within sight of Dean with 2 laps to go and only needed a wobble from him to sniff a podium. Then my latency bars shot up and I waited for the inevitable.....disco A bit miffed to have worked so hard only to be beaten by technology beyone my control!!

Marco, you've been in UKGPL long enough to know that this has always been the case..... It is based on what the real rules were in the 60s.....

Was a great race to watch the replay, especially behind me All the fights guaranteed that I could break away...weird thing again mechanical report doesn't give me damage. I think it isn't bulletproof, experienced it before, I was sure having damage as the car wanted to wreck with the least steering input turning in... Thanks to Dave Curtis for letting me by in my pole lap. Very good waving me by, did you see me wave back? Also well done podium and finishers. Sorry to hear Clive, what a bad luck you are having this season...
