Need to sit this one out guys, been doing overtime all day and im knackered!
See you all in two weeks!

Tricky little track this one with lots of scope for crashing.
I had an hours practise earlier in the week to learn the track and set up the car but perhaps I could have done with more time as the Cooper was a bit of a handful. I was satisfied with the front end grip but the rear of the car was all over the place! None the less, I was really pleased with my qualifying time which I set early on with a low fuel run. I quickly realized however that on full tanks the car was going to be too twitchy to push on and determined that I would not push too hard in the race. Come the green flag though and that though went up in tyre  smoke and I pushed as best as I could but in truth I was struggling. I had been out all day and was frankly far too tired to be racing and sure enough I made mistakes, dropped positions, explored the grass and eventually slammed it into the barriers at the Ost curve.
All in all, a poor race by anyone's standards, and a disappointment to me after the good result from Monza.
Oh, well, that's life I suppose,
Cy'all next time!

"Jason Blito and Pierre Demarle did a great job avoiding the mess."

Kind words but perhaps I am not deserving of such high praise, having qualified last I had the luxury of a leisurely cruise down the Curve Grande knowing there would be cars strewn all over the track by the time I got there. One simply cannot beat having a grandstand view of the carnage and time enough to ensure oneself does not get caught up in it. Perhaps if I spent more tokens on a better car then I may have been further up the grid and then I too would have ended my evening upside down and in flames.
As it was I benefited enormously from my total lack of pace.
 

a cheap race for me - the copper costs hardly any tokens and is so damned stable it made the perfect car for my first GPL race in 18 months.
I quallied last, but only just, and took a careful start.  After picking my way through the carnage at T1 it was a case of just cruising round to the flag, not risking anything by trying to actually race any one. I drove an almost perfect, if a little slow race to blag 7th place and some points.
Overall, a very satisfying comeback race.

oh boy, this is not going too well...... Struggling with getting a decent setup here..... understeer and oversteer in the same corner.... so far I am way off the pace and very prone to sticking it into the bloody hedgerows!

gives me chance to get in some practice

Looking forward to getting back into this.... just a shame that my wife has picked up a sunday evening shift at work and needs picking up at 9:30 tomorrow....
I'll see y'all in pre-race chat tomorrow but will have to delay my racing return until the next one.....

Please sir, may come to play?
Voted in the poll, now I ought to do some practice!
 

Only me
Just thought I'd pop by and say hello.....
 

got my pc in bits again.... my new cat has been using it as a perch and somehow convinced the side to fall off! Theres bloody cat hairs everywhere

Weather was far too glorious for playing games! Was out most of the day then had a lovely BBQ in the evening.....

have signed but totally confused...
when what where how?
theres more than 3 lines to the original post so I *might* have skipped some details.....

really enjoyed the F2 races we did on the moon so might just pop along if i can make it in time

......... guess who was asleep on the sofa when he should have been racing.... woke up at 9:30

Latency, Quality, Stupidity,

Bar 1 ( L ) measures the time it takes for a packet of data to get from your PC to the server and back again.  Low is good.
Bar 2 ( Q ) measures packet loss. iir full bar = 0 packet loss which is obviously good. Lost packets cause warpy crashes.
Bar 3 ( S ) measures your performance. Low is good. Driving mistakes will push the meter up. Trying to win a forum  debate  against Hristo will  cause the bar to max out resulting in instant ejection from the server. We call that the H Factor.
