TT vs Busi - Round 2: Lower Sprint

:fencing:

Go on TT !!  8)  No offence Busi  ;) TT's a team mate  :)

I am going to finish 3rd in the championship no matter where i finish tonight...hurrah !!  :euro: well pleased with that.

Not even those late joining alien gazumpers can leapfrog me in the points now  ;D

Struggling with understeer here, so just as well.

I heard M.United : Barca match is today, not tomorrow...  :whistling:

Complete rubbish..not to knock the tussles I had which were good fun but car was awful.

You get what you pays for, didn't do a single lap before joining race, bolted on Oschers setup and fiddled with it as I went along and ended up with a useless car, particularly in the slow bits and on the kerbs.  Little or no fun to drive. :(

Congrats to the winners in this series though, and twas good racing throughout the field.  :thumbup1:

Great Circuit made for a Great Race....fitting end to the GT2 sprint season 

Well done TT on 2nd..and well done Legends Team Driver 8)

Wow, that race rocked. Weirdly low number of overtakes at the front, but the top 7 or 8 were so close for the whole race. The battle for the podium positions was incredible. The straights just weren't long enough to get my arch-nemesis TT as he covered the inside line whenever I got a run on him, but everyone was so evenly matched despite the different makes of cars.

I wasn't sure I was going to race tonight, but so glad I did, that was a hoot. :) Just picked whatever setup was selected as favorite, re-learnt the circuit during qualifying and managed 4th on the grid and 3rd in the race to end a haphazard season for me.

Well done Busi on the win and TT on the drivers title. Not sure what happened in the team championship, but I guess Legends have won that, so congratulations. Looks like Team Shark will come third, yey, another trophy to add to the new cabinet the carpenters back at the factory are busily constructing.

Thanks again to everyone behind the scenes who give up their spare time to make this happen.

First off CONGRATULATIONS TT...GT2 SPRINT CHAMPION ....yeah baby  :punk:

Secondly, i think that makes Legends Racing GT2 Team SPrint champions  :jumpjoy:

Thirdly...i finished 3rd in the Championship, my best ever i think?  :thumbup1:

What a cracking last round that was too. Brilliant tight qually then an awesome race from start to finish.

Had a superb race long battle with Gazza Panoz spending almost entire race within 0.2s of his american wide butt  :fencing:
It was very frustrating in some corners as i had to coast behind only to see his US muscle blat down the straights away from me. I had to take some serious evasive manouvres mid corner on more than one occasion  :o but brilliant racing. I got 2nd fastest race lap overall...whohoo.  ;D
The whole top 6 were all within a 3 sec train...excellent.  :thumbup1:

Congrats to the podium here and in the championship, its been a corker all season this one.  :thumbup2:
And thanks yet again to all those behind the scenes that make this happen. Top work gents.  8)

That was a great race!

Started on pole but with very cold tyres that I should've warmed a bit more in the pace lap. Was struggling with braking and turning in and soon Jose passed me. I had a much more powerful car but his was much better in corners. This made me close on him a lot before any corner but he got away exiting them.

Hats off to you Jose, great defending for 30 minutes, a very nice battle without any contact (just once I tried to go on the inside in the backstraight but there was no space lol) :fencing: what a shame that after I finally managed to make the move, you lost it :( would've been a well deserved P2. But as in most races in this championship, TT was there ready to take any lost place ;D congrats mate, consistancy paid off :)

Thanks again to everybody who makes this possible :notworthy:

Great race.  8)  Grats on 2nd, X!

Where, oh where is Jose, my savoiur?!  :D  Not sure if I could keep Shark behind if Jose wouldn't maintain my hopes for the title.  8)  Cracking race, too, all close and nerves tight as a string. Great mod, I must say and well done for levelling the cars, Psuedo.  :clap:  Hope to see you back soon.  8)

Well done all. BEEEEEEER TIIIIIIIIME !!!

TT

An utterly lacklustre race for me - having no pace in the car was bad enough but I couldn't get even soft fronts to warm up enough and spent the race being unable to get the car to turn, whilst simultaneously having no confidence in the brakes either as some combination of the track and tyre temperatures conspired to emphasize the car's evil habit of locking the rears when downshifting.

Quit with 5 minutes to go when it became clear that even Matt Rowe's BMW, which normally starts to fall into my clutches from midway through a stint, was still pulling away at over a second a lap.

Now I'm in a quandry as to whether to spend ages in a desperate attempt to improve the car before Sunday, or abandon my quest to finish ahead of JPS and switch to GT1 where I know the Aston goes well and I might actually have a good race. ???

Wow that was a hard race!!

Never got the car quite right and for some reason im not very good round here but was reasonably happy with 5th in qually.

Race was tough with all the top 6 very close but i could never really get close enough to Simon to put any pressure on and had Mark all over the back of me the entire race. I lost my bearings once down the straight as i was keeping an eye on mark behind and when i looked forward again i thought i was at the braking marker but it was actually the marker before that one and i braked which im sure scared the hell out of mark. Well done for avoiding me there, i was very lucky to get away with not taking us both out  :D

I remember a test race here where i had Mark all over the back of me, must of been very fustrating as you were quicker than me in most parts of the track and im sure if you could of got past me you would of given Simon and TT a hard time.

Grats podium

Well done TT for the championship and Legends for the team champs.

Well done Busi for 2nd and Mark for 3rd.

Once again thx to those who make this happen.

It's been a cracking season, where I've managed a podium & a 4th place, so I'm over the moon with that.

Even Donni surpassed my ultra low expectations tonight. i fluked a great qually lap from somewhere & it took MJ till his last lap to knock me out the top 6 on the grip by less then a tenth of a second  ::)

My race went well, took me till lap 6 to go off & lap 8 till my first cut track. Not to shabby for this place at all. Finished about 13th from 7th on the grid... few more laps & even Dave would have had me I sure ;)

Almost forgot to mention the fun scrapping with Stew, nice one mate.

Team Oldie have knocked up a very respectable 4th place overall between the three of us (Lazlow, Blunder & Me) & somehow I finished top in our own mini league  :o

Well done to TT, Busi & MJ & all other drivers too.

Cheers to Dave & Picnic for your organising again. I look forward to next season (especially the GT2's  8))

Congrats Truetom on the title! Well done mate, that's a really great performance! ;D Have another bottle of Cinzano!

Well done MJ on 3rd, that's a cracking result too  :thumbup1:

And the team title too!  :jumpjoy:

Thanks all. Like I said on a Legends forum, during the race all sorts of black scenarios were streaming through my mind, from an off, to disco and Shark ruining all my season long efforts with a sneaky pass (I had to be 3rd in case Busi passed Jose to 1st).  :sweatdrop:

I feel sorry for poor ol' Jose, he made a good performance here and elsewhere through S9 races. :)  Last but not least: his driving improved considerably lately.  ;)

Will probably take Gallardo next season, sbg's performance in Silverstone impressed me greatly. Problem is, I can't get near his times with it, so the car may be less of a problem.  ;D

TT

Stay with GT2 Dave...makes it more interesting ;D

Congrats TT on the Championship and MJ 3rd in Championship and 1st place Trophy for Legends Team 8)

Well done TT, Busi and MJ. :)

Congratulations Team Legends.
