Last time I looked the server was still on Snetterton.

Soft link to track was not working, copied and sorted now.

Installer now available; first post updated.

Thanks Dave  :thumbup1:

Could be a good gallop this one.   ;D

No sign of a 911 to start with!   ::)

I think that I have found most of the places where I can screw it up but I don't know, as yet, how fast John might be in the 1.8. 

Geeeeez!!! how did you arrange things so that you were 4th in the points table Clive and by a single point!!!!!!!!!! :o

Looks like I am stuffed with lack of talent AND a slower car for this round......... :-\  Not quite sure how I ended up in this lofty position, but with this sort of handicap it sure as hell can't last!!!

LOL

Time for you to dazzle us with a display of raw speed!

Already subs time has arrived again. Can we tempt you to part with some dosh?  :helpsmilie:

Look on the bright side EC, these cars have lots of sideways genes.

I'm afraid I'll miss the next two races as well  :'(

Work, work, work ......  :cursing:

I sure hope I can make it the 18th at Silverstone, 'cause that will probably be my last chance to race before my usual summer-break.


Stig

Might have to miss this one also. Two hour commute this week isn't helping the matter. The 1.8 Escorts are way off the pace anyway :(

Just me and Simon then?

Not at home from Thursday till Sunday - otherwise I would have helped you out  ;)

I cant make this one either..... as I am in sunny Southampton

You are going to have to equip yourself with a "travelling" race rig!

Actually, last time I was down here i stayed with a pal in Sandhurst and commuted down here so I could race. Didn't want the hour and a half drive each way this week
I know I am not being dedicated enough  :cowboy:

Chaps. I am out tonight, so will restart the server at 18:20, and then you will need
to move it on to Qual at 20:20 manually if you could please.
Ta
Matt.

Will do.
We usually notice by 8:30  ;D

Damn, I'd forgotten about the shifter problem I had last week, but it was back again tonight. Last week in the 911 I could get away with it, but no chance tonight in the more fragile engined Escort. I was mis-shifting every lap and it didn't take long before the engine let go.

It's odd because I've done some AC and pCARS races this week with no problem, but as soon as I get back to PnG it plays up. Ah well.

Low turnout again, but hope the rest of you had fun. Congrats podium.

Something funky happened to the results import, can't do anything about it now, I will investigate when I can.

Looks like the Kerbie Virus

Apologies for the no show, I was intending to race but my arm was aching a bit yesterday, so thought it best to not aggravate it by racing. Hopefully will be back next week.

Grats to the podium and to Fed on a dominant performance.

With 6 starters I had high hopes of climbing to 6th place, with a setup that did not work. I was a good 3 secs off the pace around this track and despite some fiddling with the setup during quali, I just could not extract any more time from the 1800 Escort.

After about 3 laps of the race everyone was out of sight and I decided to plug on and try and improve my PB...that did not work either!!  Frex vanished from the race and I was up to a lofty 5th place ( but still last by a looooong way).
Then John got bored chasing the Loyne's pair and fast Fede and waited to toy with me and my lame Escort.
For a few laps I was allowed to savour the dizzy heights of 4th place as John sat on my bootlid. I think my wimp like braking and hopeless cornering caught him out once or twice and he aborted into the scenery, only to re appear 5secs behind and close the gap again in about 2 laps!!
His pace was a good 3or4 secs a lap better than I could muster, so I just played defensive and tried not to leave any gaps. Huh!! some fat chance of keeping John behind for 6 laps!!

He merely toyed with me for 5 of those laps and then went around the outside at Parabolica to snatch his 4th place back on the last lap. Still, 5th place was more than I deserved or expected .

Hopefully I have now dropped out of the penal colony and maybe I get a car that will offset my lack of ability in the next races.  ::)

Still trying to figure out what went wrong at the start and my race lap times were awful as well.   ???

Congratulations to Federico and Simon.
