Count me in on this one guys.  Should be fun fun fun!!!!!!! 

Yeah thanks for getting last night sorted. Enjoyed it a lot although did get a nose bleed at by the end of the 2nd race after 2 3rd places. 

Great racing by everyone.

Welcome mate.

Don't be worrying about your GPL Rank as we've all been there and it takes time and practice. Not sure if you have them or not but look at http://www.sim-replays.de/ as there are some nice set ups there and that's where I started. Only thing to change really is the break bias. I started at around 57 and lowered it as I got better and more confident. I would suggest starting in Clubmans and go from there.

Good luck and c ya on the track.

Well after 4 weeks without touching my wheel I thought what the hell and braved it in D1. 

It all felt rather strange and my qually time was poor. As for the race well I started last and for all of the race apart from the last lap (Thanks to Will's misfortune) I was still last. Seeing Will run out of fuel wasn't great but but it did move me 2nd to last. lol

Gratz to Steve on his win and to podium.

As for iRacing.....well it all looks good on paper (or internet) but paying for something on a monthly basis doesn't float my boat due to my work commitments. I have also noticed as I understand that after paying for initial subscription you also have to pay if you want additional content? Not sure if I like that but I guess some people will so I will be sticking to GPL until the time comes that I have plenty of free time on my hands or most of the friends I've made in GPL decide to move. 

I agree with Hristo and Clive and hope that this is just a 'NEW GAME' phase and it doesn't ruin GPL for good.

Qually went pretty well for me and got my PB of a 33.9 so was happy with 5th. 

As for the race well I got a great start and made up a place straight away. Was tearing down towards T1 when I noticed Syd and Bernie spinning in front of me. They went off track and as I was coming towards the incident the spinning Fezza slid right into my path and I could do nothing but collide with it. Lost a wheel or 2 so I done a NO FAULT Shift-R when it would let me. lol

This pretty much left me back in around 7th I believe when I eventually got going again and decided to plod on and see what happens. Made a few driving errors going into Parabolica but managed to settle myself down and start catching the pack. There were a few retirements and I got a place back after passing Tim and that was me now chasing Clive and Mike. I chased Mike down and got him going down into Parabolica. A Clive/Mike sandwich wasn't good as I was doing a lot of mirror watching. So now it was onto trying to pass Clive but always having my mirrors full of Mikes car.  Got nice drive out of Ascari and tucked in behind Clive and managed to overtake him into Parabolica. (Seemed like the best place to pass again  ) Clive wouldn't let go of that place very easily and he was in my mirrors for best part of a lap and a half. The Cooper wouldn't yield though and eventually I started pulling away.

The rest of the race was pretty uneventful  for me as I was trying to catch Kruger and Lorenzo. Not very easy but after looking at the replay I was matching them on times if not slightly quicker and was closing the gap but I ran out of laps and crossed the line in 3rd.  WELL CHUFFED IS ME!!!!! 

I was watching the replay and the battles between Clive/Mike and Kruger/Lorenzo.........GREAT RACING GUYS! Very enjoyable to watch.

I'm now away until around the 15th July so good luck in the coming races and GO TEAM C 'n' B!!!!!!!! 

Sorry but not gonna make this one as I'm away for work from the 26th June till the 15th July. 

Thanks Chris.  Was a tough one but Nurby was the one I got stuck on but thank god it's done...now for the other cars!!! 

Disappointing race for me overall.  :'(

I didn't manage a qually time due to the fact my brain wasn't functioning this Sunday and after watching Top Gear decided to start qually and to my shock I had 12 seconds to do a lap.  So in a panic got my Brab set up ready for the race without checking my pedals.

Start went ok even though the pedals were all over the place and I was wheel spinning like a mad man and going into a few turns she was locking up all over the place.  This made the Brab very difficult to control and I made mistake after mistake until coming down to the last turn she locked up and I went sliding into the hedge loosing a wheel. (1st Shift-R) 

Got her going again and the pedals still weren't right and after just half a lap or maybe even a full lap got it stuck in some hay bails I believe so had to do another Shift-R.  Got totally P!*&ED off after the 2nd Shift-R and decided to give the pedals a work out while stationary and after that she came into life but alas it was too late to do anything about closing any gaps to anyone so just drove the crap out of it.

Very disappointed as my times in the Brab were were pretty good for possibly a mid-table to top 7 or 8 finish but lesson learnt.

Gartz to Will and podium. 

Not gonna be here a the next race as I'm away for work.

P.S. Does anyone know why GPL doesn't save my wheel and pedal settings? Every time I run GPL I have to go into settings and calibrate them as in move wheel from right to left and full motion of the pedals as well otherwise I wheel spin when accelerating and lock up when I brake? I gotta do this every time to make the car drivable. 

P.P.S. Kruger 2 Shift-R's without pit stops. Should have just given up really. Sorry m8.

lol Nah m8..I actually enjoy the BRM around Silverstone as my times will show. Not my fastest chassis but I would have driven the old war horse. 

Unfortunately I'm not available on the 1st July as I'm away working from the 26th June till 15 July so you'll have to find another BRM driver Clive.  Sorry m8

I know what you mean Steve. I didn't exactly do the pumping thing but the missus thought there was something seriously wrong when she got home as I couldn't stop grinning like a mad man...maybe she thought she was on a promise or something. 

Yeah Will I think Steve has said what I was thinking. 

Aye well done and glad you enjoyed it as well guys.  That's what it's all about though.....enjoying it and not getting too frustrated. Stick with it guys it's all good fun and if yo uneed any advice I'm sure the guys here will be more than happy to help. 

Congrats Steve.  I got mine too about a week ago which put my rank into all greens as well and in the Brabham.  (see below)

It's a great feeling though as I thought I'd never do it. lol

Well done m8.

Hmmm.....BRM......hmmmmm....errrrr.......sigh......... 

I'll drive the old war horse I guess.  Coop or Fezza would have been better but to avoid being difficult I'll deal with it just for you Clive. 

Practice time!!! 

Oooooo...if it's Tuesday the 25th then I'll definately be there but after the 25th I'm definately not available.
