Does 1 lap constitute 50%?

Maybe, if you do lap 1 five times, going back and forth.  ;D

certainly not me...  Im looking at Igor now and there appears to be only 8 entrants.... perhaps Im not the only one scared off by the longer technical circuits!

Okay, I was not a good start on this league.

The GPL crashed when we are going to race grid, so my participation finnished there...

Hope next week I can race with the 65 cars :)

OK - under no illusions and so I let Phil and Juha through early doors. They nmust have had some issue because suddenly there they were :( Rather than crash them out I nobly went off and hit a tree - hard. Amazingly it could continue, then I slid wide and found myself stuck in the crowd but I got loose. Finished the lap and then went for it - OK I'm going to finish last but I'll finish dammit. Except the engine blew - couldn't believe it - must have damaged the engine in the crash because I look after my engines and I have NEVER blown one before.

My luck sure is out with this damn series.

Blimey - doesn't look like there was a whole lot of luck for anyone. Well done Tim

Make sure you register Rogerio  :)
If you're a faster driver then you want the Pro's :)


My race went well, qualified 3rd (Would have probably made 2nd but had to crash to avoid a recovering Fulvio in the final minutes :( (My own fault, misjudged your speed relative to mine))
Start went awesomly with me leaping into a nice comfy first before the village, I lost a lot of that lead at one of the high speed left hand kinks when I bottomed and went very sideways - then I braked slightly late in the hairpin at the next village letting H close right up.
We were racing at close priximity for the next lap until I made a mistake and span allowing H to pass and dissapear out of sight.

For the next 2 or 3 laps I concentrated hard on catching (Or at least holding steady against) H, which had little noticable effect - until I passed a spinning white thing late in the lap, glanced at prib the next chance I got and realised I was back in the lead again!  ;D

This didn't last too long as Hristo was able to use my Draft and some later braking to gain quickly - when he did make his pass I didn't fight too hard as we still hadn't reached halfway, although I was carefull to stay close.
After passing the 50% mark I decided to push harder, passing on the straights would be easy, but first I had to suss out how to stay close to H on the exit's leading onto the biggest straights so i could actually use that to my advantage.
Just as I was starting to 'get it', Hristo disco'd right infront of me appraoching the S/F line (Which scared me half to death I might add when he vanished!) which handed me a new FL  ;D

From there on it was just a case of finishing as Juha and Fulvio were too far back to be a threat unless I crashed.
Bad luck on the engine Juha! and well done to Fulvio for hanging on in there and eventually inheriting 2nd  :)

That's odd - I'm sure I watched Fulvio finish?
He should be a lap down but pretty sure he shouldn't be a Disco  :)

I'd ignore the retirement reasons, think it picks it up from the html and always shows strange things. Mind you I've never seen a disco for the winner but now I'm tempting fate ;D

Yes I was lapped but finished on my leg. Maybe one lap down on 9 laps race is too much to be qualified for GPL.
The 43 was a tanker on this track, plus I put too much fuel in the rush of start and had too short 6th gear for the long straight. Ended with still 37 L. even if I was lapped.
I had to (almost) learn the track in practice, and in the race, sry for slowing down ahead of you in practice H and Tim.
Mhhh I guess I'll have again to cope with slow cars next race :(

Ciao

Ohoh, I spoken too early, good luck Tim :D

grats Tim for win the race , no track practising with 66's before the race,not even time to do quali time but i did know the track from earlier league races. I hold strong 2nd place till my BRM engine exploded when there was 2 laps to go,who said BRM was a tank ?  ;D retirement reason is wrong in the list.


Juha

Juha
As a tanker I mean a big truck full of fuel :D
I had to baby the engine and short gearing to keep oil temps low.

@ FullMetalGasket

I voted on the pool for the Novices Cup, so I think I'm applied for it. Is that right?

The moderator`s report is published. Paul`s report is "short" this time, (his own words).

Nice report, Paul, but I'm sure Tim would disagree with this one:

"Tim got an excellent start and shot past an unusually slow starting H."  ;D I'm usually a slow starter.  :P

Yeah, I normally only comment on Hristo's starts if he actually makes a good one!  ;D
