GLA and let's have FUN

Might try running the Cooper, if I can get it to run well enough to keep up :D .

Stuff that Tommie, I am taking my mighty Honda!

Haha hoping to cling on in the slipstream!

I'm on Tommie's wavelength for this.  Looking at the T77 Cooper for a fun ride.  :)

Boys on this track there is hardly any speed difference for Ams...

Try telling that to Paul who kept you at bay at the non-banked version!!!

yep this is what I am thinking of! ;D

This track has 5km + straight...

No way I am going to hold you off round the banking....

I need to apologise to Ray/Ronnie for that mishap... I had no eyes on the road at the time like I should have, and tried my best Kimi/Felipe Silverstone impression when I realised what was happening. A little more training required for me when racing with others.... :(

The racing was good, clean, fair up front, and very well fought out until I got a swapper on up the banking, but my gods you lot are slow when dicing... I lopped seconds off when running in clean air!

Well that was fun. Had great racing with Cookie, Ray and Tommie. I had the power to pull away but I as a bit too cautious at GC and Lesmo. That let Cookie get back to me and I braked early at GC to make sure I could take a nice wide line. I was mot surprised to see Cookie go through nut I was when Ray Tommie and Gareth got me as well. Ray and Cookie tangles and I avoided them to inherit the lead. Some laps of cat and mouse with Mr v O and then Cookie caught us. I took up station behind and was careful round the banking. Overtaking three abreast there takes more skill than I have. Finally sneaked past Tommie and followed Cookie round Para but I overcooked it and span wiping out Tom in the process (sorry mate). Span at Lesmo as soon as I touched the braes so I had obviously bent something so I pulled over - not a good place to reset.

Fun racing but there was a small football match taking place which may have taken my attention...

See you in S27.

No problem Jethro. One of my favourite tracks and I hope this one figures somewhere on the schedule for next season.

It will be in S27!

Sorry Ray, for the tap in lap 4 CG when you where about to spin :(

I sacrificed a lonely win for a great finale with Tommie  ;D

It was fun :) .

Monza 10k is a great track, especially if you have a big field participating. If you don't, 1000k with the chicanes might be an alternative for the smaller GPL cars like 1965 and F2 to break up the straights a bit.
