I was only pondering over whether a race on the IOM would be good or not last week.
This looks like a chance to find out!
I'll try and make it for this event as should be a good challenge, I haven't driven it in anger for several years...

That was fun! Predictably, there was a pile up at the first opportunity! I was mainly following Ray, and 3 times I followed him straight to the scene of the accident with a minor tap, once both upside down. Almost repeated this with Axel, this time me upside down and he just pulling away! ;D

Thought I had lapped here before.. maybe it was just an install lap. No time on GPLrank or track installed strangely. Anyhow, I forgot about the shift-rs and retired at halfway having used two and getting stuck; while trying to detach myself and making progress, GPL decided for me :laugh:

This let me see Jonny take the lead and win! Parabéns amigo! 8)

Yes, it was an entertaining way to learn the track better.

Congrats Jonny!

I cheated again. I probably used half of the 20 resets I allotted myself. I would have been out early in lap 1 or lap 2 had I limited myself to 2 resets.

I didn't think anybody would mind. And if anybody did, I would have been willing to stop before the finish line.

Another 30 laps here and I might be able to run a decent lap. It seems to take me 50 laps to start doing well on a new track and this event puts me close to 20 laps at the IOM.

Thanks guys.
