Don't think I have raced here before. Might be interesting.

One of the best tracks out there IMO. 8)


p.s. I'm sure you have it planned this way already, but in the next couple of fun races, can we see some classes that weren't getting used in the season :)
p.p.s. Can we please give up on timed race distsnces, I for one think that we've had enough races end earlier than announced due to carp track making. Ta.

doubt i can make this one sorry. Im on track at Snetterton (huzzah!) all day and will no doubt be exhausted by the time i get home, and had my fill of driving hard  :)

Nobody was in the Z4 & I fancied a change, so took that. At the end of practice noticed Z4's made up 50% of the field, so jumped out & got the F430
With the short qually session, 10-12 mins just wasn't enough to tame the care enough & after about my 8th notable mistake in as many laps, I called time.

Shame there was only 6 of us, lets get the next season started again ASAP eh ;)

Umm yeh dint go too bad but just couldn't keep it up on lap 14 I was struggling so I thought I might as well quit.

See you next time. Hopefully I might get a bit more practice.

Spent an hour sorting out the balance on the F360 with medium tyres and then remembered we were running a shorter race than usual. Reduced my fuel but didn't have a chance to test if softs would last, so played safe with meds for race (Pirellis on the KC car btw).

Was pressed hard by TT for a few laps and had to concentrate on keeping things tidy until he made a couple of mistakes which allowed me a few secs comfort. Was then able to ease back a bit for the last couple of laps.

Were you on softs or mediums for the race TT?

albert park & GTC was a good combo, had a close battle with QS until he made a couple of mistakes and i got a couple of seconds buffer

I had softs, GT. Were fine until I exited too aggressively which cooked them. Then I had to ease off as they were like jello and was making more and more mistakes. It didn't matter in the end as I saw you were simply faster.  :)
