It is assumed, individual race instructions are more important than standard instructions?

Title: Re: Season 29 Joe Shaw - Nuerburgring - Mar 29 Post by: Marco Mercaldo on March 29, 2016, 06:55:58 AM +0100 There are limitations, or can I choose any cars ???
Title: Re: Season 29 Joe Shaw - Nuerburgring - Mar 29 Post by: Billy Nobrakes on March 29, 2016, 07:30:18 AM +0100 Marco, any car you like for the 65 race. If you want to join the 67 race on Sunday then you cannot take the Lotus 49 or the Eagle.

Title: Re: Season 29 Joe Shaw - Nuerburgring - Mar 29 Post by: Billy Nobrakes on March 29, 2016, 11:09:09 AM +0100 Carlos, you are welcome to join for as many races as you want. I can't make this evening myself but am planning to start on Sunday.
Title: Re: Season 29 Joe Shaw - Nuerburgring - Mar 29 Post by: Robert Fleurke on March 30, 2016, 12:37:12 AM +0100 Looked like a good race overall with 13 lead lap finishers, and fights throughout the field! :)
Was a good race with close racing with Tris and Tim. They made some mistakes that kept me close to the lead, although I had a couple of close calls myself. Improved to 8m24s in the BT7 in the race, but T&T's car advantage proved too much for me to fight for the win. Great entertaining race! :) Grats Tris and Tim, well done finishers! Commiserations to the retirements... Title: Re: Season 29 Joe Shaw - Nuerburgring - Mar 29 Post by: roo on March 30, 2016, 08:12:08 AM +0100 Only spotted this race/season an hour before the start so quali was a re-acquaintance with the ring.
No expectations for the race other than a desire to finish without a reset, which I did. Set a new Lotus pb too, so all in all a good race :) grats all finishers, some amazing pace out there! Title: Re: Season 29 Joe Shaw - Nuerburgring - Mar 29 Post by: bagrupp on March 30, 2016, 12:30:55 PM +0100 New PB for me, but after an early mistake most parts lonly race for me.
Looking forward to Sunday's Race Title: Re: Season 29 Joe Shaw - Nuerburgring - Mar 29 Post by: Cookie on March 30, 2016, 03:12:27 PM +0100 I still have problems with this crazy track, I hate the downhill sector between the banked Karusell and Schwalbenschwanz >:(
So I made my mistakes there... Felt back to 5th and had Sam for a great battle in my neck, my concentration went worse and in the last lap he succeeded ::) Not a BD gift... But I succeeded too in lowering my PB for 3,5sec, that made my day! Title: Re: Season 29 Joe Shaw - Nuerburgring - Mar 29 Post by: Ronniepeterson on March 30, 2016, 05:44:13 PM +0100 Yeah great fun and good to see such a good turnout. I just love the the BT7 which on balance is still my favourite GPL car to drive. PB for me in this beast as well 8). After a mistake of my own making I forgot to shift-r and retired :'(. Grats to the podium, finishers and all.
See you at the next one. Title: Re: Season 29 Joe Shaw - Nuerburgring - Mar 29 Post by: Samb on March 30, 2016, 07:29:39 PM +0100 Indeed Axel that was a cracking battle for most of the race. Really enjoyed it.
Glad to see such a strong turn out, hopefully that'll continue as the season progresses :). Title: Re: Season 29 Joe Shaw - Nuerburgring - Mar 29 Post by: FullMetalGasket on March 31, 2016, 09:03:30 PM +0100 This was a great race - I really enjoyed my battle with tris even if I did make such a silly error on the last lap! ;D
Good to see such a turn out for this, and I hope that the 67's prove equally entertaining. Title: Re: Season 29 Joe Shaw - Nuerburgring - Mar 29 Post by: Iestyn Davies on April 01, 2016, 06:50:20 PM +0100 Would have been nice to join this race with a Cooper, but I was racing Pelle in PDLR (Spanish league) at the same time.
Add in Jani and I, and it would have been a full grid! 8) |
