High1:19s in quali spec. This track is quite narrow, like Suzuka and sand-traps are deep and plentiful. ;) Might be the winner won't be the fastest guy but the one with the least mistakes.

Strange...I started it after the f1 88 race Tuesday evening. Anyway, it's up again now.

I won't be able to make this one...usual reason.

Real shame that. Was shaping up Apex when he ran wide and returned to track leaving me nowhere to go but the wall or his behind. Thats racing folks :)

Nice track/car combo Hal. Ta.

Bit disapointing really, Came over the hill towards the corkscrew to find SBG locked up and sideways on the first lap and locked up myself trying to avoid him. Went quite deep and hit the wall ahead but tried to rejoin and beached myself on the kurbs at the bottom. Only just managed to get off but was 20 secs behind everyone.

Carried on hoping i could close those ahead down, but seem to really struggle braking into the last corner losing so much time pretty much every lap. Came into pit, thought i'd really slowed down, to about 30mph for the tight entry but couldnt turn enough and clouted the lights/ end of pit wall. Got to my pit and thought i'd repaired everything and was expecting to sit there a while so was surprised it was only a 50 sec stop. Came out and was surprised to see Apex only a couple of secs in front and i managed to close in but just couldnt get past. Few times i'd drop back or make a mistake but could close quite quickly but just couldnt really get past.

A race to forget. I think I got flung off track in the same incident as Spanner. Saw a car in the corkscrew, braked, locked and managed to avoid the car going onto the sand and lost most of the places. :( Tried to catch up but made more mistakes and was losing time. And nerves. :-X Had some close racing with nsfast and Apex and while trying to catch nsfast (nice move, buddy :) ) I got into the sand - again. Just got fed up with it and quit.

Was really enjoying it & in for an easy 4th, probably 3rd over team mate lazlow...

After he did me in the pits :o (I can only recall that happening to me once before) as he took on 10L less (he literally entered on my rear bumper & as we exited he was on  my front bumper! :laugh:), I got past with no bother :yawn: ;D & was happy cruising.

With 20 to go I did a double down shift at the final bend & half span. It was enough for lazlow to get back past >:(. Time to drop the hammer as they say & in fairness to Jim, he picked up the pace too in response. While pushing hard, i exited the corkscrew & tried to get a good extra-wide entry into the 'sort of double left hander'... I sniffed the grass with a 1/4 of my front right tyre... enough to find myself in the wall with no front end. Tried a lap like that & lost 15 secs to pitted for repairs with 17 to go. Came out in last place, 1:05 behind Spanner who'd been 40+ secs behind me before my extra stop. Never mind, thoroughly enjoyed tearing up the track till the end & finished last, but only a respectable 18secs behind the next man.

The post for the next race is up now. We are now in a 2 week break in the championship.

I had a good race at Laguna. :)

I managed to gain a lead at the start after Berger made a few mistakes. It was not too long before Berger was back on me, I could see that he could not safely make a move and I tried to stay calm under the pressure. I only made 1 big mistake, it was at the corkscrew and I was lucky to only loose about 5 seconds.

Berger then had a much better pit stop and he was off into the distance.

Great track and fun race trying to keep it on the track and try to keep up with Berger. I was at my absolute limit for many laps. :)
