4081  UKGPL / UKGPL Races / Re: UKGPL Season 20 (2010-2011) Novices Trophy (65) - Mosport - Oct 12 on: October 14, 2010, 11:06:58 PM +0100
Thanks Jason.

That is quite interesting. I ran at 113% of front runner pace due to various offs. I qualified with 106%.

The 1:56 - if I can do it will qualify me last at about 105%. I assume we will run for 40 mins again which is about 22 laps. - If I lose 5 secs a lap that will be 110 seconds behind at 22 laps - a full lap. That is running at 1:56. I can't keep that pace up for more than three or four laps so I will more likely run at 1:58 - 2:00 losing an average of 8 seconds a lap - a lap down at about 14 laps. That is roughly the same as Mosport. Interestingly I drove the first twelve-thirteen laps at Mosport at an average of 1:33. There were two laps above 1:33. The last twelve to thirteen, there were only two laps under 1:33. Of course that was where I started getting lapped.

I just hope I can be a good citizen and meet the lappers at 'easier' parts of the circuit - start-finish straight would be nice  Grin

It'll still put me last though <sigh>
I think I was last in every race of my first season, bar a few times when others disco'd...
'Disco' - I'm happy to take gifts from the Gods  laugh

Yeh but you're just weird Blito  Grin

I am glad that baby is gone, gone, gone  laugh

Just had a go at Zeltweg and I got down to 1:56 and I think I can find a second or two if I can get that second last turn right but 1:51 is insane. It'll still put me last though <sigh>

And you might be surprised, but the best handling cars in the 65 mod are the slower ones (BT11, Cooper and BT7), so in a way it's much easier for a novice to drive those cars.

You could have told me that before you signed me up for Hiki-Waza  Grin

Holy Cow - I got to 2:03 with my first five laps which were a bit tentative but I will only find 4 or 5 secs more. Boy I need driving lessons. Embarrassed
4086  UKGPL / UKGPL Races / Re: UKGPL Season 20 (2010-2011) Novices Trophy (65) - Mosport - Oct 12 on: October 13, 2010, 10:33:41 AM +0100
Next Tuesday sounds good. I only got Moss wrong twice but boy did it cost me...
4087  UKGPL / UKGPL Races / Re: UKGPL Season 20 (2010-2011) Novices Trophy (65) - Mosport - Oct 12 on: October 13, 2010, 09:00:40 AM +0100
AA - it was indeed you but I am not really cross - I am, however, a bit embarrassed - I am finding it pretty hard to hold the lines I want and I am surprised by where the car is in the replays as opposed to where I thought I was. I also have no straight line speed - everyone blew past me on the straights - I maxed out at about 145mph at the end of the straight but everyone accelerated much faster up the slope than I could manage. I was really surprised at how hectic I found it so apologies to anyone passing who thought I was driving inconsiderately - it was down to lack of control. Give me a wide berth for a few races.
4088  UKGPL / UKGPL Races / Re: UKGPL Season 20 (2010-2011) Novices Trophy (65) - Mosport - Oct 12 on: October 13, 2010, 12:19:17 AM +0100
See I told you I might take some weird lines.  laugh

Anyone got an idea of the sort of time that will not embarrass me at Zeltweg - never driven it.
4089  UKGPL / UKGPL Announcements / Re: Season 20 Novices Trophy Registration on: October 12, 2010, 11:41:47 PM +0100
You certainly have. Tonight was my first race and I really enjoyed it. Sadly my stamina isn't great (thats my 'bad' blood - it will improve) and I found it really hard to keep concentrating - got up to 10th by mid race and it was all down hill from there...
4090  UKGPL / UKGPL Races / Re: UKGPL Season 20 (2010-2011) Novices Trophy (65) - Mosport - Oct 12 on: October 12, 2010, 11:18:04 PM +0100
Might get a few penalty points or two but at least I can't be demoted  Grin

Aims for the season are:
Not to take out the leaders (Sorry Vos).
Not to take out people passing you for place (Sorry Ronnie)
Complete a race without a shift-r
Finish a race in some other place than last (that might be a bridge too far)

I'm very cross - Ronnie took me out as I was sliding across the track so Nigel slipped past and then I took Vos out when I clipped the curb and bounced onto his line. Mr AA didn't realise I was going to brake so early for the pit complex and totalled me so Karliss and I had a nice race for a couple of laps and then I span out at Moss twice in succession and that was that - I took a stop n go for taking Vos out but I don't think I needed to. It was hectic. Sorry to Ronnie and Vos, grr to AA (not really). Had a couple of laps racing though and didn't get lapped as much as I thought I would. Even ran tenth at one point and took Nigel and Karliss on the inside at the last turn. That was fun. Got excited though and threw it all away.

Thanks to all.

Actually I am with Bernie - not cos I think he is right but cos I had to miss it but I did fix my leak (wasn't the washing machine in the end) just a faulty isolation valve. Only been leaking for six months or so. I've had a look at the times and I reckon I would have joined my teammates in the Hondas - Nigel is too fast for me but I might have squeezed in next. So in the fantasy Privateers I'm off to a flier...
4093  UKGPL / UKGPL Announcements / Re: Season 20 Novices Trophy Registration on: October 12, 2010, 12:27:31 AM +0100
These 'so called' novices are all way too fast - I suggest I am allowed to do a couple of laps before anyone else - I might see somebody in the race then...
4094  UKGPL / UKGPL Races / Re: Race Through Time - Monza (GP 1955-71) - Oct 3 on: October 04, 2010, 10:12:23 PM +0100
I don't know what you lot are going on about - I had some fantastically close racing...

... with the armco, the kerbs, gravel traps etc.

I also managed to go slower in the 67 than the 66  Angry

Nigel zoomed past me out of the Parabolica - I want his gears, mine were *!@?**

Happy Birthday H. Many happy returns.
