Sorry Clive 2x my fault... :-[

Couldn't hang on to Tim after making a few little mistakes, and then found out late race I didn't have enough fuel. Tried to manage it last 4 laps, but had to settle for P4 losing too much time...

Grats Tim, good race by Doni and Dean as well ;)

LOL  I was about to apologise to you Axel!!

At the start I got away quickly and found myself alongside you into T1, but there was another car outside of me and 3 wide in T1 is NEVER a good idea. I "felt" the pressure from the outside car and thought that I had squeezed you a bit too much.

The second incident I felt that I was also at fault because I just did not see you coming up the inside  :-\

Either way it was not a good race for me, my mind was on other things in Real Life so I quit rather than cause any more probs.

Grats to Tim, Doni!!!! and Dean for the podium. 

Great to see such full grids for Joe Shaw  :thumbup1:

Not a great race from me. Sorry for the contacts, thankfully no major ones ;)

Good fun again in the BT7. Grats to the podium and everyone who turned out. Apologies if I'm wrong but was that you who got off the line like a three legged carthorse Rob? I assume you had a tall first gear or simply missed the flag dropping? See you all at the next one.

No I timed the start well, but checked up for Tim, and then lost rpm's/bogged down a bit...

A Honda 1-2!  When was the last time you saw that?  Most likely, never.

Grats on Tim for a fine win.  Great pace and consistency.  Full marks.

The gods were smiling on me for a P2 placing as I quite thoroughly did not deserve or earn it.  I was not aware of the Lap01, T1 carnage that put so many contenders well back.  It was all just out of my view on my right.  Only after a couple of corners did I realize that something must have happened as all I could see in my mirrors was Rocket following closely in his BT7 and apparently, nobody else.  Dear me...  I recall distinctly the last time we ran GP65's here that there was a startline muddle that shunted several cars, mine included, iirc.  At least this time, we got a couple of hundred metres further on.

Hard luck indeed for Robert who had to surrender P2 on the last lap thanks to being all of a litre shy on fuel.  Admirable pace and accuracy til the shortfall.

I feel genuinely sorry for Dean as clearly, he had the goods on me for position right up to the flag.  Sure, a couple of minor gaffes robbed him and a P3 finish is not be dismissed but it so easily could have and should have been P2.  His pace mid-race was fastest of all and only a blitz lap from Tim denied Dean the FTD.  I should say, too, that after he had a minor spin in the hairpin and handed me the place, I started to wilt.  Up til then, I was charging along having a fine run with minimal errors and gassing it hard.  After actually getting ahead of the flying Ferrari, my pace started to fade as fatigue started to set in.  With a couple of laps to go, Dean was well-placed to easily rip by on the back straight but a fraction too much throttle had the red car loop and lose enough time to be crucial in the end.  I was not going to fight bitterly to the end so it was indeed, a gift.  Further, to see Robert cruising to save fuel and having to back way, way off to make it home was just icing on the cake.
