And remember the rules regarding SHIFT-R :

1 SHIFT-R with a Stop n Go of 0 seconds
Multiple SHIFT-R = DQ
No Stop n Go = DQ
Incorrect Stop n Go = 30 seconds added

It's always sad to disqualify a racer for this !

My thoughts entirely. I think I may have disgraced myself again with a wild start that probably ended others hopes. Very sorry all.

Could be worse guys.  Poor signal quality left me out in the cold, until practice had ended!  Managed to survive the aforementioned frivolities, and battled up to podium placed Cookie.  But just as his tyres were going off, my connection went off and left me.  This did not amuse! >:(

In the world of uselessneses that was probably the most uslessnesist race I ever did . during qually I had some understeer , I tried to tune it out for the race  :-\

big mistake, had more spins than the London Eye  :o

Grats to Hendy (first win ?) Dave & Axel

sorry for any whose race might have I ruined .

N.B.

The above statement is not an admition of guilt  :-[

Well that was an entertaining race for me if not for Steve, Bernie and Martin.  Unlucky gents.

I got a great start and made up a couple of places but at T1 I made contact with Fabio and we both spun.  Sorry Fabio, there was a big enough gap but there was a bit of warp that didn't help us.  I'll submit a report and let the mods deal with it.  A few laps later I manged to bump into James when he span at the last corner; it was only a gentle tap because I'd manage to slow down but then a couple of guys behind hit James like a steam train.  Thankfully they missed me LOL.  Then I had a great battle with Andreas but we touched on the fast left kink, I survived but Andreas went wide.  Bad luck, I'll submit a report but I think I'm in the clear on that one.

I was having a great fight at the end with Dave Curtis when I ran out of fuel so I did a Shift-R (replay time 0h46m47s) and S&G (replay time 0h47m37s).  

Finished 5th which wasn't bad considering the incidents.  Grats to Hendy on the win and David for a solid second place (that was a strong result for the championship - you're going to be hard to beat now!).

Well, I've clearly spent too much time in the 65 & F2s recently & no time at all in the 67s... which admittedly seemed a little brutish for a while!

With that bump & sharp corners - another track that looks exactly like Mosport!

Was somewhat surprised to have ended-up 6th on the grid on the flying lap.  The car got away with on/off track action; although I was right - I did manage to bend a couple of corners...

Unlucky PT;  although I could get quite near at times - I was not expecting to take that place from you.

Grats podium.

Cheers all for the run.
Dave.

Yeah, what a shame, my front tyres were really getting too hot, so I had to brake earlier and accelerate later...
Could have become a nice battle ::)
 
Was a good decision to take the BRM to save some tokens for Spa  :P

I've never raced here before and found it to be very enjoyable - a good combination of gradients and fast, flowing corners - apart from the concrete tyres which always give me the shivers. I managed to avoid the initial pile up and gained a sackful of places but soon threw them all away with an excursion up the bank. There followed two blown engines in quick succession which put an end to my race. I can't remember the last time an engine blew up on me so I guess it must just have been one of those random occurrences.

What can be best described as a midfield performance.
Hendy & Rainier were a class apart & Cookie decided to do a whole race.
Picked up a few places on Lap 1 & managed to keep Phil’s Cooper at bay for about 5 laps until he worked out quicker than me that the BRM had pulled left on the straight to leave us room. Had a minor altercation with team mate DC on Lap 6. I think this cause some minor damage somewhere as my lap times dropped back to 1.49’s which should otherwise have been 1.46’s. May have been a blessing in disguise as the rest of the race was rather lonely & but incident free on a rather tricky but otherwise enjoyable track.

We have races coming up at Spa & Tripoli so might have to rest the dependable Brabham for something with a bit more top end speed.

 Grats to Hendy on the win and David for a solid second place (that was a strong result for the championship - you're going to be hard to beat now!).  

Have a look to Hendy's token : now he has 38 tokens (and me only 10).
38 tokens for 4 races means that he could choose the Lotus 3 times and the Eagle the 4th !
Moreover, Hendy has 61 pts less than me but if you substract the 2 worst results, it will be -54 for me and -23 for Hendy !
So only 30 pts less than me !
And you, Phil, are between us ...so the championship is far to be finished !

Hendy's race was great, yesterday. I tried all what I could but Hendy was too fast.
When I saw I was 1minute in front of  Axel, I took a maximum of risks because shift-R + Stop and Go take < 1 mn, but it was not possible for me to follow Hendy.

Corrected results so far ....

Rainier = 186   + 10 tokens
P.T.       = 171  + 12
Hendy   = 156  + 38 ( thanks to living in Honda )
Bernie  = 126 + 20
Angex  =  124 + 10
D.C.     = 121 +  19

Pretty close at the top , but as you say Hendy has a tokens advantage though I doubt he needs them  :)

No, only 156 for Hendy (179-23-0) ...hopefully for Phil and me  ;D

Another thing - this league is getting very competitive. Hendy's qualifying time would have put him P2 in the Works race.

Not sure its a big issue, but I think my tokens are wrong.

By my calculation I should have got 5 for entering the league, as this was the 6th race (A driver who fails to start any of the first 5 races will only be eligible for an initial allocation of 5 tokens (rather than 10) but will still receive a further 10 tokens for each race they start (including their first race).

Paid 5 for the Cooper = 0

Plus 10 start  = 10

I have 15 showing.  I'm not fussed but it could be used to take advantage.  I don't think I'll be challanging for the championship but I wouldn't want the Australian bloke currenlty in 18th to moan when I beat him.  ;)

Yeah, a really great enjoyable battle that was! Even when I went wide, I survived too. Think only lost 1 or 2 places. In my opinion it was not a big thing. By the time I was heading to the apex you were already there and I took the "Survival-Lane" .  :)

All in all it was another good Race over here.
Congratulation to the Podium!

So long
Andreas

I just had a look at the replay for the start of this race.
I think I will have lot of works for moderation :-[
I still don't understand why some racers take so much risks at the start of a 42 laps race !   

Francesco (Molteni) was a great victim of this start and I would like to know why he did not make a Shift-R  (disconnection or ...disgust ?)
