I've been having some ISP problems recently - but the ping at least seems to be reliable again so should be able to race in this. Clive seems fairly safe from me now but I'd still hate to hand the championship to him....

Good result for the championship - keeps it alive until the last round :)

Kind of shot myself in the foot with the setup though, had an excessively rearward brake balance in an attempt to get the back end to break free on the way into corners. Was working well for about ten laps until the tyre wear started to have an effect, then it locked the rears at every opportunity! Luckily I had enough of a gap to Clive & Tim by then to not have to push too hard until the end.

Bring on the last race :) Am I right in thinking that if Clive and I are on equal points at the end, I will get it on number of wins?

Fight behind the bike sheds - last man standing wins  ;D

I had a great battle with Clive last night - while he seems to set his cars up far better in the dry I deffinatly seem to have the advantage in the wet based on the tracks we've had in the rain (Although I seem to remember messing up a load of my races earier this season  ::) )
Having watched some of the race in a replay now I feel I should probably apologise to Clive for my first (And entirely unintentional) pass - you braked about 15 meters before I do and despite heroic arm waving and sliding I couldn't avoid sliding up inside you. Didn't realise until seeing the replay that my boot was using you as a backstop - thought I'd actually lucked into an awesome pass  :-[

It was a great battle from there on trying to hold you off, and when you caught me again when I got distracted and ran wide I had a great battle To the flag  :thumbup1:

I think that I was too busy with my own near accident to know what you were up to.

I'd not done any practice beforehand and it showed.  John pointed out that all I had to do was finish second to him in the last two races to win.  So now I just have to beat him in the last round....... :whistling:

It was a great battle with Tim, all the way.  His entry onto what passed for a straight was better than mine and overall he was a bit braver and thus quicker but made a few more errors which kept us in close company. 

There was one corner, the downhill left hander, three from home, that neither of us took properly the whole race!  John's brake bias would have done wonders for me there.

Thanks for the race anyway.  If you don't show in the final round I will just have to see if I can put John on his roof in the first corner.   :devil:

LOL

Probably!  Perhaps what I need is a flybynight alien in a fast car to beat John.  Some ruddy hope.  ::)
He would only go and put himself between us and make things worse!  Then there is Tim's return to form to consider. 

Think I had better get practicing.
