... and so is the link to the league table
I am blind, where is it?
Look under Series, in this case
U6LSDon't know what U stands for, but rest is Season 6, Lower Sprint
U =
UKGTR (and L is UKGT
L). JR, the link is at the top right of every forum page, just left of the recent block...
I'm just trying to add up why so few drivers actually have positive ballast of any note, apart from me and you.
If you look at the championship tables you'll see that there have been only a very limited number of regular drivers on the podium in either class.
Long may the doughnuts continue! It does make me laugh when people insist that they machines are super uberninjascopic that they 'can' turn on all possible options without any consequences. It was 5+ years before anyone had a machine powerful enough to run GPL flat out and GTR2 is a lot more demanding than GPL ever was...
Excellent race for me. In qualifying I cocked my first flying lap up by running wide at Blanchimont and having the lap time cancelled, especially annoying as I'd spent the outlap really working hard on getting the tyres up to temperature. So I did a banker lap, getting a perfectly respectable low 2:24, then threw caution to the wind and did a banzai final flying lap, knowing that the tyres were past their best but trusting the front end to stick in the critical exit of Stavelot and then into the Bus Stop, netting myself a PB lap which was only two tenths of breaking into the 22s.
I tried a bit of an experiment last night, setting up the clutch pedal to operate Team Speak. The theory was that it would force me to only talk in areas of the track where I have concentration to spare. I think it worked - though I didn't know at the time whether the result would actually be me going off with my left foot on the wrong pedal.
I thought the pace lap was excellent, plenty of opportunity to work my tyres up to nearly 60. Only blemish was Madd leaving a huge gap in front of him on the limiter - we must've given away several seconds to the cars in front for no good reason.
Race got underway and the cars in front were pulling away already so I just settled down for a few laps to concentrate on getting the tyres and brakes completely up to temperature without scrubbing them too hard. Both RVS Moslers were kind enough to chuck themselves off the road for me.
Shark soon overhauld Picnic's lovely bubbly Aero 8 and I knew he was on softs so I pushed hard knowing that if I could keep the gap for long enough for his fronts to go off I'd be okay.
I managed to sneak past Ossie for a few corners after he got stuck behind a somewhat recalcitrant lapped M3, but the Z was no match for the M3's sheer grunt and he soon got back past. Ossie obvously went to the same school of M3 driving as Adam Parle, throwing the car sideways into every corner, locking brakes, dipping wheels off and generally failing to look after the tyres at all - in short, overdriving.
PRibeiro in the meantime had snuck up behind and made short work of getting by both of us, his 996 being much, much faster down the Kemmel straight. Shark attacked hard for a few laps but I held firm until his fronts melted and I was able to start pulling away again.
Then I went back to the slower Radicals in Race '07 for a few minutes.
