A couple of notes re. Blue Flags during qualifying and race where they differ from GTR2;

Blue Flags during qualifying - if you see a blue flag during qualifying it will be on your outlap and the driver approaching is on a hotlap. Please take this into account and act accordingly. The driver behind does not know you are on an outlap so no rash moves out of the way please  Usual SRouk rules / guidelines should be applied.

Blue Flags during the race -  if you see a blue flag during the race it means the driver approaching is about to lap you. Please take this into account and act accordingly. It differs from GTR2 in that you will not be penalised for not allowing the lapping driver to pass within a certain period. The flag is informational only. Usual SRouk rules / guidelines should be applied.

I'm being far too generous letting you guys do this one without me...be prepared to see this again very soon LOL.

& this will be the forth Friday race in a row I can't make, because I'm away this time.

Don't suppose you would fancy swapping the dates of this one & the Lotus one? :whistling:

Hahaha 'fraid not Legz, I had this problem with all of the combos I've got in mind - there weren't any I wanted to miss either but if it goes well, give it a few weeks and I'll run it again.

Oh and swish you need to buy the Lotus swish etc. ;)

I'm away also so you have one less whiner. :angel:

Ah TT it's not the same without you, you know that! ;) I'm not going to talk you into buying the Lotus either but I hope it happens to land in your shopping cart somehow  :whistling:

Don't tempt me. :wetfish:

So is anyone racing tonight ??


*cough* Impalla at Watkins Cup ...eh ;D

I'm expecting to be there, haven't done any practice as yet.

Panic!!! wheres oilys little poster  with the race info gone ??? anyone remember the race start times, number of laps  and such.

                                                            Cheers Ade

I can see it. Is it still hidden for you?

Qually 9.10

Was going to do it but will be practising for sunday and the radical for tuesday instead as i'm more in need of it!

Phew!! OK I see it now, quickly grabs a pen and paper. Couldn't see it in the iracing forum either, don't know what happened there.
                                                  Cheers chaps

Might drop in for a few laps in practice.  I won't be able to make the race though.

Has anyone got a setup they'd like to share?  :)

Just gave this car a few laps and it's a horrible little thing so I'm going to give this one a miss this time.

Good fun that  :)...Couldnt keep the pace during the race and dropped back from 3rd to 5th by the end with John and Dave passing me.   John spun at the last corner and i spun in sympathy which was pretty pathetic  :D

Cheers

Yep, good fun after a shaky start. Arrived very late to the party and only had the chance to do a handful of laps before qualifying. Took Ade's setup and lowered it by one click at both ends and qualified on that, not very convincingly though as I was ahead of only two cars.

Didn't know about the grid bug so foolishly revved me engine and found myself slowly rotating to the right until I was facing directly at the car on the other side of the row in front. Fortunately I was able to get away safely from that rather precarious position and was soon picking up positions from spinners. For the race I'd added an extra click of camber to both front tyres and it was working better, letting me catch the battle between Dan and Bernie.

Dan was my first legitimate pass, taking a speculative look down the inside into Copse and surprising myself a bit making it stick. :laugh: After a few laps I was able to pull away from Dan enough to break the tow and he dropped back, whilst Bernie was making the odd mistake and allowing me to close. Most people were taking a wide line into the Maggotts which was probably faster but left no room for error and an inviting gap, which I duly stuck my car in at the first opportunity when it finally came, getting my nose ahead down the National Straight and then sealing the deal round the outside of Brooklands.

With just one lap to go I had to defend staunchly and shut the door firmly in Maggotts, getting a 0x Contact ad Bernie looked at the inside. I was a bit alarmed to see him half spin but glad when he got going again without losing a place. :angel:

Well done Adam Miles on yet another emphatic victory. :) :alien:

Can't say that was much fun. For me the car is just too hard to keep under control and once the back end went I was a passenger :(

Once Adam got close to lapping me I dived in to the pits so one of my spins/offs didn't spoil the race of someone with some talent.

Nice move ;)  i saw you go to the inside in my mirror but as soon as i lost sight of you i didnt have a clue where you were , i probably could have closed the door but chose to give you some room instead of risking a collision which in these cars would have made us both spin no doubt.     

The FFB felt great in this car ,  could really feel when the inside front wheel was of the ground.

Thanks for hosting this, it was rather good fun.  I love the Legends on the road courses, so easy to go everywhere sideways.

Some quite good battles working my way from mid pack, to the back of the pack, back to the middle of the pack.  I seemed to have more luck keeping it on the road than others, very easy to catch when it starts to go, I think my setup must be different from some of yours.

Anyway, thanks gain.
