H@L, the link in your first post to the championship standings is broken: https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?action=LM2R;group=4113

You need to replace it with: https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?action=LM2R&group=411&theme=3

You did mate, unlucky both you & Pete. I think the three of us probably could have battled that to the end & if we had, Apex would easily have caught us to join the party...

Well that was an odd one, I was nowhere in qualifying, stuck very mid-grid & made a couple of clicks change before joining the grid (never a good idea!), but for once it seemed to work as within about 4 laps I'd beaten my qually time by nearly 1.5 secs :laugh:
Grip here was tricky, I found it very difficult to both not skid under braking & not wheelspin out of slow corners & tyre wear was a big issue in the last third of the race, but I guess it was for everyone else too?

p.s. I ran out of fingers, but I think tonights result means Apex takes a three point championship lead into the last round @Road America :sweatdrop: Good stuff  8)

Damn. :( Sorry Pete, can't say anything other than this. Lost it in a moment of locking the fronts before top of the hill, then it was too late. Waited too long, I guess, too see if I can slide before you turn.  :no:
