One of my fav tracks.....looking forward to this one!!!

im away so will miss this  :(  but also  :) have a good 'un.

Tricky track this, there isnt a flat section anywhere. Struggling a bit braking and turning in with the cambers pitching me all over the place.

HIgh 22's with race fuel so far. Tried the M4 which I thought would be good here, but I'm quicker in the Viper
Shame about these naff chicanes. Oulton in it's original layout was a classic track to me, even if it was dangerous :(

After nearly 50 laps!! of practice, I've got the Ferrari 360 down to 1:22's in race trim......I did 3 laps in the Porsche 997 and got the time down to 1:21 :o...looks like I'll be on the back foot tonight :P

I'm down to mid 21s in the 997 now. Very difficult to hook up an optimum lap here as there are so many areas to gain/lose time, which could produce a few surprises come quali. Cascades is always slightly scarey and it's so easy to lock up into the hairpin or run too hot into Lodge. Should be a cracker :)

Crazy track but allot of fun. :)

I think you'll do better than me, someone stole my gearbox (read HD has died on the games PC)

Nothing exciting to report this week sadly :(

Luckily, Albert Park next week should be a lot better! 8)

What a great race. Amazed to quali P2  :o Had a comfortable race setup so I was confident of not making too many mistakes. Then on lap 2 I put a wheel on the grass at Avenue and was pulled into the barrier. That'll be confidence then  :wetfish:

This allowed H@L and TT to pass, but I was able to gain back third when TT made a slight mistake. There followed a few laps of battling with TT until we were both caught by Greg who'd made his way through the field at a remarkable rate. He passed TT and I was expecting a similar swift fate, but amazingly I was able to hold him off probably thanks to my skillful awkward driving style  :D  Don't think I've ever felt that much pressure in a race before and full marks to Greg for being so patient with me.

My countdown was still showing time for a couple more laps when Greg shaped up for a move into Lodge, which was enough to scare me off  ;D  Had I realised it was the final lap, I might have toughed it out and took my first GTR2 pody, but I had to make do with 4th  :'(  which is still by far my best finish  :jumpjoy:

Congrats to API,  H@L and Greg and thanks all for a terrific race  8)

Oh and don't forget, we're back here soon in the cats in Race 07 land....should be a corker.....

Nothing exciting....  ::) Well I had plenty of fun. Got a bit previous onthe throttle in  Old Hall, and went grasstracking
so lost a few places, but had great fun catching and passing Laz, Spanner, and Legzy, then hunted down TT at
a couple of tenths a lap, then would drop back for one reason or another, and slowly catch again. Last lap
in Lodge GT went off and Apex and TT went tippy toeing round, might have made up another place if I
hadn't stuck it in 1st and spun myself  :eek:
Great chase TT, was surprised that big clumsy viper was competitive round here, but I had a hoot.  :thumbup1:

The race was interesting for me even though I did not really have any cars near me for most of the race.

GTs mistake on lap1 gave me 2nd, unlucky mate, we could have had a good fight then.

After that I was just watching the gaps constantly until the end. API just drove off into the distance. The gap behind me was my main concern. The worrie of it not being any bigger than 7 seconds kept me on my toes and I feel quite worn out for a 40min race. :sweatdrop:

Well done podiums.

See you all at the next race.

Sorry buddy, just how I felt. I got overtaken three times, each because I made a size-able mistake when not under any real pressure(putting at least two wheels off track) & overtook just two people... who had also gone off track again not under pressure. :o

The drive was fine, it was just lacking as a 'race' for me tonight. Very pleased that others enjoyed :thumbup1:

Nice racing, Goldtop and Matt. :) Quite a tough track to be consistent, well at least for me. I'm Mosler is a bit clumsy here, I expect it was the same with the Viper. Was surprised I had to really emphasise understeer here, strange for such a natural understeary car as Mosler. Nice event, even if I did make too many mistakes. :)

I thought i would start at the back as im not used to these rolling starts and i really only race for fun anyway, doesnt really matter where i finish.

I thought passing would of been more difficult than it ended up being but i think that was more to do with people being unsure of my driving style and being scared out of the way when they saw me in their mirrors  ;D

All was going well until i caught Goldtop who was driving brilliant for many many laps holding me at bay until the last corner of the race when he slipped up ad let me throught.

a very exciting race and i hope to join you all again soon :D

thanks

Good to have you with us Greg, I for one will try to make it a bit harder for you to get past next time ;)
