Just been on the server and the Exige S was missing from available cars.

This is the list of cars in the config file

CARS=ks_bmw_m235i_racing;lotus_exige_240_s3;lotus_exige_s;ks_mazda_rx7_tuned;ks_porsche_991_carrera_s;ks_porsche_cayman_gt4_std

So it should either be there or I have the wrong Exige S (I see there is a roadster version for instance)

Mmmmm odd. Will check again tonight.

A couple of Vda drivers will join today's race with me. Their name are Gavino Pintus and Massimo Bonni. Both drivers used to race here in the past, so I guess there won't be any issue.
Cu later  ;)

Bringing their local knowledge for this track eh?  ;D

Must confess I have not done a single lap of practise for this  :-[ just have to turn up and crack on

Looking forward to tonight a lot. Really like the cars and track and the last time we ran a track day here it was amazing :)

LOL - this is me every week  ::)

moved over last lap Micheal Boylan I thought you were the lead car lapping me good racing thank you.

I wondered if that was the case which is why I let you back past again before the finish line. Was great racing you.

Not my best race but still fun. Made an amazing start, straight through the middle and up into 5th from 9th :) Sadly, Matteo missed his braking point going into turn 1 on lap 2 and wiped me out. He kindly waited so thats fair enough but dropped me back to 9th. Tried to chase the pack but not enough speed. Pete caught me up mid race and passed and then a great race chasing Bob down to the finish. Was fun :)

Hello guys!
I'm back from some years of inactivity. I remember a lot of fun with the Power And Glory, and today was the same.
Sorry but I've took a too fast car, but I didn't know your lap times.

See you in the next fun race, and congratulations because the fairness is fantastic

Welcome back Ayrton  :) nice to see you and fellow Italians joining us again.

Great track and great cars, really enjoyed that. 8)

Didn't do any practise before tonight but quickly got upto speed and grabbed 3rd in qually.

Made a great start in the race leaping to 1st place within 25m  :) but was quickly put under pressure by Gavino In his gt4 and he soon got in front. I chased him hard for a couple of laps but he pulled out an ever increasing gap whilst Massimo Chased me for 2nd for most of the race until ChrisR took over the challenge.

He chased me relentlessly and closed the gap right up once my tyres went off from lap 11 of 16 when my car kept getting sideways in the first chicane. It was only my horsepower keeping me ahead for more laps in the end as the Lotus was far more light and nimble on its tyres.
On the very last lap he got alongside me for the downhill left with one corner remaining! And I had to brake a fraction later as I had my right front on the grass, this was enough to out brake myself, run wide and lose not only 2nd place to Chris but also 3rd to Matteo  :taz:
 :wetfish:
Just proves again that a race is never over until the line  :'( great race though!
