As I will be racing with you, I have no problem hosting this race with UKGPL_8 ;)

Thanks Axel !
so I will let you start the server, tomorrow. is it ok ?

Yes, I will be in chat at 21:45 CET time

Ab 21:45 Deutches zeit bitter.  In the UK we are faster, so it is 20:45.  :laugh: 

dont forget UK goes forward 1 hour on Sunday  ::)

On the continent as well, so difference stays the same  ;D

Err.... am I reading this correctly? We are having a 3L race, but Clive and Tris must drive 2L cars??

I assume they should really be choosing the McLaren or the Eagle T1G??

Don't get me wrong. Given their lead, they SHOULD drive 2L cars....or even better, 1.5L 65s   ;D ;D ;D

Looks like I have to miss this one .  :(

Edit:
Looks that I can make it, but dunno if I can make it to the end.  :)

Well spotted Arf, race post corrected.

Thanks Arf and Phil for correction !

I did my best to seriously handicap Clive and Tristan ...but it doesn't work ;)   

Whoops...never helps to hit the moderator... Dave I'm sorry - didn't expect to pull left, and I was already braking as hrad as I could - had already decided that the pass would have to wait for another chance...

Arf

That was a very competitive race.  The laps times were very close.  I had a good battle with Evil in the early stages but I made a slight mistake and he was through.  I was on the limit the whole time trying to keep up with Axel and Evil.  So it was no surprise when I made another mistake with 5 laps to go which let Ronnie and Andreas past but I'm pretty sure they would have passed me anyway.  Pleased with 6th but sorry it was at the expense of my team mate Cookie :(. 

Fantastic race for me,only 3 laps and the engine says bye bye.Anyway my goal was only to finish the race since i have not found,until now, a good setup for Silverstone with any mod.
If Axel (the specialist) want to illustrate me something for the Ferrari,i thank him in advance.

The moderator does not moderate his own incident ...

The first laps were very exciting, I was expecting to have a nice battle with Andreas, both on Cooper ...until I was rear ended once again !
I have to understand why I am so often rear ended, I should probably have a part of responsibility.

Everybody should knows and take into account , now, that the drivers named D. Rainier65/66/67/G2/GT/CA are braking earlier than 99% of the other drivers.
By the way, a driver starting from position 3 on the grid and following a driver starting from position 13, must know than he is quicker and should adapt his way of driving.
Logically, it should be very easy to overtake a driver braking earlier than the other, isn't it ?    

Yeah, I was on the limit too, until I lost the car under braking into Stowe when my headache won, I retired.

After a good practice race yesterday with Tristan (he overtook me around the outside of Becketts in the McLaren!), where he was only 1 tenth off my time, I knew this would be a good race. Managed to get pole from Axel by half a tenth in Q late on.

I usually don't have a race plan, but today I knew I needed to scamper off like Vettel. Start went well, but Cookie's was better, and I slotted in behind before Maggotts. Got a good run on the Hangar straight and went down the inside, leaving space on the outside, in case Cookie braked deep. At mid-corner, I saw he was on my tail so I tried to accelerate out best I could, while he was under attack from Arf Arf Arf and Tristan behind. On Lap 2, Cookie got close, and I realised I needed to 'channel the Clark' and drive as smoothly as possible. This then meant I got a gap going before Tristan got into 2nd. As Cookie, Arf, Dean and Ronnie P dropped back it then became a case of 'doing a Rosberg' and managing it to the end. 9 laps from home, I noticed Tristan starting to close and put the hammer down for a low 30, which led to a few mistakes near the end. Really enjoyed the driving and trying to be smooth, which gave better performance on some fuel in the Lotus-BRM.

Congrats to the finishers! Looks really tight in the championship battle. Hopefully I can get a PB next time out at Nurburgring.

well :D...happy whith the final result,.... but the Lotus was to fast to catch :( .....   anyway, good fun on this fast track I love it !

.....next one is the Nurb......I presume we ( Evil and me ) have to drive 2 litres Groupe I ....!?       isn't it ?


bravo Iestyn, well done !....   and finishers  ;)

Correct !
