LOL, only lasted a few laps before smacking into Chicane 1. Haven't enjoyed any of the Enna races so far, but each to their own, those times at the front were utterly astounding. Hope you managed to finish the race, see you at the next race.

Well I hit that very same chicane :D Had a bit of areo damage and just tried to push beyond what I should've...Cya at the next one 8)

Hi well I was going ok, had to run through the debris of other peoples accidents several times and then (I may have brushed tyre chicane) it did the harry potter thing and took off into the sky lol. I hit the tyres on sunday and got away with a nose replacement so think it was a bug . see you all next time.

At least you all lasted longer than me.  :P

Lap 1 chicane 2 nuff said  :cursing:

That was a great race!!

Qualied 20th finished 14th and had some great battles along the way, was having a good battle with my bro but he done a kubica into the tyrewall  :P.

cgrats to winners.

PS: managed to get our of your way at last chicane this time LEUVAN lol. seen you coming and thought i better let him go, didnt want same thing to happen on same corner in 2 races ;)

amazingly finished the race and got 9th place  :o

Had to drive through numerous exploding cars at chicane 1 somehow surviving each time without collecting anything and just chased on after TT and Mark Mc ahead of me.

Think there were only 13 finishers out of 23+ ? so usual mayhem for this track.

Well done to the podium guys with their alien car handling here :alien: :thumbup1:

Race went quite well, I think having JR filling my mirrors was not helping me one bit. :laugh:
Jeffrey drove a great race and earned himself the win.  8)

Was a bit warm too.  :sweatdrop:

Well done to all finishers.  8)

PS: Sorry for overtaking at the last minute Jan, as I hadn't intended to, but you braked a bit earlier than expected and it's Jeffrey's fault for being so damn fast down that back straight.   :angel:

Decided to take the GTC for the remainder of the season, as I've been driving the RSR everywhere and I wanted to do something different.
I didn't even hate the car that much. I basically have a setup which I used for all the cars (Viper, C5R, GTC, Viper CC) ;D.

I was surprised about my qually time, definatly better than I hoped. I was on pole for a short time, untill Leuven took it from me. That didn't surprise me at all, as I know he is extremely quick here  :yes:

I could follow him around for half the race untill I had one scary moment at Schumacher. Did a wheely and the rail came very very close  ;D.
The gap was 10s then and I thought it was over. But some things made the gap smaller and we were facing a cracking end. With 2 laps to go I could overtake Leuven as he made a mistake at Schumacher. I was driving like a slowcoach through the 2 chicanes after that, losing alot of time, but just trying to survive  ;D.

I was surprised about the straightline speed of the GTC, it's just the acceleration that isn't as good as the RSR.

Much to my surprise, tonight made it 3 good races at Enna for me :).

Manage to avoid usual first few laps of carnage and began to enjoy mini battle with Bernie. Couldn't stop laughing at the way his morgan was even more twitchy than mine :). Real shame you came a cropper so early. Then had some great fun with some rejoining RSR's and Fezza's. Feared that you would get caught out by my earlier braking and twitchiness but hats off to all of you for some very fair stuff. Especially to chong who had me beat but, I think, hit the tyres rather than hit me :angel:

Those around me should be credited for making racing possible at a horror track by being sensible and incredibly fair. :)

Gutted :o :o :o

The only Vertislow in the field.....Bye bye all, see ya when you lap me  :'(

Other than that I enjoyed it....got to the end. had some bad moments falling over debris and abandoned cars, got stuck on the kerb for nearly a minute and ended up a lap down on everyone..but never mind...I MISSED THE TYRES  :jumpjoy:

That the most errors I have made in one single race for a while. Had a good qual setting a PB to just pip my old nemisis Purdie  :P . Was on meds so took it very easy to start with and ended up in a scrap with purdie and baracus and PRibiero. Up to 3rd at one point after some spins. Made a mistake and Pribiero was shot past as his car was setup like a rocket ship down the straights. Then following PRibiero Baracus was attacking. I completely forgot which tyre chicane we were approaching and guessed wrong. Lined up on the wrong side of the track completely confusing Baracus and the invitable happend and we were both in the gravel. Sorry mate! Got going again and then after another incident was chasing PRibiero again. Back end got very loose and I straddle the kerbing at the first chicane and teamie Mo went by. Just following Mo when the backend was really all over the place and round it came again, TT and Mark Mc went by in their battle. Just followed them and Mark Mc spun at last corner so ended up 7th I think?? Congrats to podium. Good race all.

I was thinking the opposit. When I overtook you with 2 laps to go, I felt like I was robbing you of a deserved win. Somehow it didn't feel right. :)


Lol. yeah, the GTC really loves a draft. Didn't expect that at all, as I had to lift off a few times as the GTC was just so much quicker when following a RSR closely :o

Thanks for that, didn't really pass many people but lost some time when doing so, but its difficult to let someone past here as theres no leeway into the corners.  :)

Unofficial Lapchart (http://www.lapcharts.teamshark.org.uk/Lapcharts/Enna GT2GTC sprint 12-06-2007/index.html)

Was really tempted to stay off this race tonight, but "cold turkey has got me on the run".  ;D
Qualified with a time 2 sec slower than training yesterday, so I thought, what the hell, lets drive while it lasts. It lasted for some time and after I started to think I might actually finish I slowed down automaticaly.  :D  Was lucky that others made more mistakes than me, so I was gaining places. Was lucky also to close race with good guys who know what a fair play is and when to leave enough space to make it through the corner side by side. Don't know all who were close but I can mention Nevarn Richard, Purdie, Reign Man, Buckie and of course Mark McClean. Well done boys, glad to race with ya.  :thumbup1: Hope you saw me in the same way and that I wasn't too pushy.  :(
I ended 6th and despite a fabulous result (for me  :P) I can't say I'm looking forward to the Masters Endurance here.  :(
Well done MJ for 9th place and too bad for Bernie and Darren - better luck next time.  8)

Grats to finishers - all of us.  ;D   And to the front aliens. I'm speechless. Hats off!  :1eye: :alien:

TT 

Hi Looked at replay did hit tyres slightly so my fault.Saw a porker have a nibble at my rear end previouse so may have had puncture or damaged car on kerbs by the sparks comming off it.cheers gerald

Started from way down the order, and like everyone else i know how much of a reputation this track has so i was confident that id gain some places by just keeping it on track :yes:.  Had the odd hairy moment but the most notable was when i was following a R24/7 car closely through one of the chicanes and next thing he wacked the tyres and flew up in the air, somehow i managed to drive right underneath him  :whistling: may have been Purdie ,not to sure.

I had three spins/slides throughout the race, all of them happening when i was battling for position with Mark and TT :taz:.  Paul Richards slipped by when i spun on the corner of the last lap.

Congrats to the podium



 

I remember you could brake very late at the first corner and that was the cause of one of your spins, Mark.  :( I couldn't afford to brake so late, so I'm sorry if I caused you to spin. With that in mind, you never had troubles to catch up again soon, so I guess the straights on this circuit were a bit too short to overtake the same model of the car.

I had the same "problem" with Nevarn Richard - I remember I was able to brake much later for the last corner and it surprised me the first time - I spun there as well.  :(  Good side of it was that Backo came by, hit my rear and turned me in the right directon. Despite that I lost at least 3 positions there.  :(
Fortunately all those spun / crashed later so in fact I didn't lose anything. I managed to overtake Nevarn Richard a few laps later as my RSR was better on straight than his Mosler. Good racing all.  :yes:

TT

sorry stnasky about that! i pressed esc so quickly! but i was 30ft above u anyway...lol

really enjoyed that race despite my dramatic DNF, had great quali with a pb but Paul R still pipped me !! r >:( ;D

quite a lot of drama at the beginning and i was picking up the pieces and up to 4th at one point. then i made a mistake and couldn't rejoin the track until the majority of the field had past. But that was cool cos i like overtaking so i worked my way up to 7th, had some great racing with Paul R when he made a mistake and dropped back to where i was, also with TrueTom!!! who TWICE overtook me on the outside into the first corner!! quality manoeuvre!  :-*

good to be back racing! forgotten how much fun it was!

...and despite a few moans about destruction of Enna, i think it provides great races and a real challenge (which i failed  :'( lol)
