UKPnG Season 7 British Touring Car - Silverstone (GP 1987-90) - Nov 22

[Clive Loynes]

Thank you guys.
Can I chose a car from 13-25 rank?

Yes but don't prat about with the Alfa.  You have to qualify on pole and go off the line like a scalded cat for a lights to flag win!

now we get Clive in a season finale hoping someone turns up in a faster car than the rest of us to win it and prevent his rivals getting the points !

Hmm, I wonder if I could get Cap7 to turn up in a fast car and park himself between me and Clive...

[Manteos]

Just finished 2 qualif sessions in quali 2 session on your server with BSCC Gr.2 and Trans-Am. they're separeted by 2 approximately 2 seconds in my test.

1.41.9 with the trans-Am

1.44.0 with the BSCC

I hope you will have a good race guys.

This is the link to the setup I used for both the cars with quali fuel => http://vda.forumfree.it/?act=Attach&type=post&id=519715798

May the best win!

Now I'm going to see the "lap of honor" of Gazza

While practicing online Mike Lowry and I discovered what is probably a P&G V3 bug.

There seems to be a problem with the Alfa # 42 !

If two drivers try to use that car, it will cause a CTD for the one entering the game.
This problem apparently only concerns this particular car

My suggestion is, that NO ONE uses the Alfa #42 online.

What a despicable trick!

You should be ashamed of yourself!

Ooh I see if John wins and Clive is 2nd, they both finish on 356 points, nice. Johns had 5 straight wins on the trot though  . No wonder Clive wants pop in drivers to claim the whole podium  

Shame it can't be a straight fight between them though...everybody take Alfas and Tina's  

Nice to see the old faces return to the races

I can't find the server.  

EDIT: Found it.

Really enjoyed that. Sadly, I've not been able to race PnG here as much as I'd have liked....I need to sort that out :-) .

Having not raced, gave me a full car choice, so went for the Mustang Trans-Am.

Qual: Was P3 up until 0:00 on the clock, but luckily snuck in a sneaky quick time seconds before the server changed over.

Race:Having only raced 1 round of this champ, I went into the race a bit blind as to who was chasing what in the championship, so keeping out of trouble was key.  Got passed by John & Geoffers off the line in to T1, and followed for the next few laps as they diced for position.  A couple of times I could have maybe joined the party, but with cars only a few seconds behind us, my fear was that we'd all end up losing time.  Pace was pretty much equal, but once John got by into the lead, I was on Geoffer's boot for the rest of the race, but unable to pass.  Then with 2 laps to go his Mustang's rear left touched the grass on the exit of Copse, and it caused a spin, and I got by into P2.

Looked like some great dices through the field as I watched the cars over the line on the monitor.

Great stuff. Well done all.

Well that was an action packed race   great turn out made the track action excellent, especially in the early laps when sometimes 4 or 5 abreast! but all kept clean.

Qualied 8th with a new 1:45 pb   but at race start I got caught out as just as I glanced down at my shifter the lights changed and I got left standing, and a heap of wheel spin didn't help! But had good fun fighting my way back through.
Had a long chase with prib and got close once or twice but he then seemed to find an extra sec or two per lap and pulled away from me. Also had a good battle with super swift in his feisty cortina.

Had a bad spell between laps 13/14 to 17 when the tyres seemed to go off and lost heaps of time including my only visit to the grass, but then they came back to me, very odd.

Alas with only 3 laps to go I stupidly tried to put the car in 5th down the hanger straight (it's got 4 gears)   out of pure habit! And the engine instantly detonated into flame  :'( I was a clear 8th or 9th at the time behind Clive

What a wonderful event that was and great to see so many new and returning faces turning out for this. A sign of good things to come methinks 

Fantastic racing from all those around me and I know I'm a bit biased here, but what a great first outing for my little 'un  My heart was in my mouth most of the time as I had a great view of him battling it out just up ahead of me......and he didn't put a wheel wrong all race. Well done Jules 

Congrats to John on the win and the championship. Can't wait till the new season, whatever form it takes
