Season 36 is a joint series between GPL Brazil and UKGPL. This post is for the Junior division. For Round three we visit Willow Springs International Motorsports Park. It is located in Willow Springs near Rosamond and Lancaster, California. Willow Springs is a historic race track, in existence more than 60 years. It is the oldest permanent road course in the United States. Construction began in 1952, with the inaugural race held on November 23, 1953. The main track is a challenging 2.5-mile (4.0 km) long road course that is unchanged from its original 1953 configuration. The interesting elevation changes and high average speeds make it a favourite of many road racing drivers.

I was on the edge of adhesion the whole time, the track is very slippery. The replay is definitely one to keep :)
Well done on a fine race.

Mistakes on lap 1 & 2 cost 40 seconds & possible podium. (Not pretending I would have got near Eric.) The rest of the race was incident free. I made up a few places when other drivers span or went wide. Managed to close up the gap to Dave C at the end - neded another 5 laps to make that interesting. Nice track - at least when you stay on it.

firstly congrats to Eric and fellow podium places.. nice drive. also a very tidy and sensible start. I only had a slight issue, turned in for one corner and cut into Ricardo who just clipped me.. Sorry Ricardo, I hadnt noticed you in my mirrors and I was a running a touch wide too. as usual it was a tiny tap but GPL sent me into orbit. LOL. I was very suprised that the car seemed fine and I didnt need a reset. car was fine for many laps, I did manage at one point to catch and get involved with Pepe and Phil, they were having a great race. all was fine for a couple more very enjoyable laps then although its seems a slippy track, I was cooking the tyres a bit by then. managing to run 3 to 4 seconds faster than my offline practice times which im very happy about, but the better pace, longer distances and extra fuel took its toll that and lack off skill .. LOL Made me spin a few times. back end of the car just wanted to overtake the front end .... as it does! So really enjoyed this one. Started from my usual lowly grid position, which suits me fine. allows me to not cause any accidents, gives me a chance to miss others !! and gives me a much needed chance to settle down, etc,etc. all in all went well and and proved to me Im improving. I have not raced online with you guys in a long time. Didnt realise how long until adding my player.ini to the GPL custom rank site (GPL Weekly). seems last time was 2013 ! WOW. as i say. long time. no wonder Im a little rusty. but this track was very enjoyable. its a new one to me but thought it was superb. so congrats fellas.. and heres to our next outing.
