I had a look at replays, and i now understand why Control Towers have complained: they were more machines in air (or in takeoff) than those on the ground!
I think it's time to move to 60 fps: as already said Axel, in this mode collisions are calculated more accurately by GPL, and this greatly reduces the risk of ending up in orbit for having been touched by another machine.
If you agree, i open a discussion with a tutorial on this argument, and i am committed to follow anyone who had trouble getting GPL to run in 60 fps.

Thanks to those who organised the races, this has become an annual event and is always great fun.

I swallowed my pride and climbed into a RED car, which I suppose was marginally better than a GREEN car  Undecided, and was mildly surprised to find that it was instantly quite driveable.

I tried to tweak the setup to squeeze the extra 0.5 secs I needed to get on terms with the fast guys, but no matter what I did nothing really improved. The car seemed very stable on race fuel so I was content to follow the pack for the first few laps until Alex suddenly slowed as we crossed the line  Shocked and I almost ran into him!! 
Up ahead one of Elves was hassling a poor Santa so I slowly closed up to offer my fellow Santa some support. It transpired that it was that Doni-elf making a nuisance of himself on Axel's gearbox.  Once I got into the slipstream it was easy to catch them and as we entered The Loop Axel and Doni took a wide line whilst I took my favoured line hooked up against the inside Kerb. Unfortunately this put me in Doni's blind spot and I don't think he realised how much extra speed I had carried into the corner and how close I was. Doni got a slight twitch half way around the bend and his car jinked towards the inside and we made contact...quite spectacularly!!.
It took ages to Shift-R and I was disappointed to see that Doni did not also rejoin.
A quick visit to to the pits for a SnG and I was LAST!! From there it could only get better and I pushed hard for almost 25 laps gaining places as some cars retired and passing some others.  I have to say that the pace of almost every driver was impressive!! no-one was slow and it took several laps to find a way past each and every one of them. To finish 5th and bolster the Santa's score was a good feeling after the early race.

Grats to Al who once again showed his pace and to everyone for taking part .

Started again from the ideal viewing position (the back).  By the time the race had settled down, it was quite lonely out there - although Prib certainly made it clear that any mistakes would have meant losing out somewhat.

Dave and I were marooned at the back by our qualifying times and I was really pleased with mine... I didn't even see the flag and so I was in my normal position - dead last.

I caught him early on after he made a mistake and thought I could keep ahead but busy elf Bernie needed to get past and I didn't leave hime enough room at the last turn which meant I spun off and lost the place again. I set off in pursuit and caught Dave eating his mince pies but unfortunately for me I didn't have enough pace for a pass and he didn't make any more mistakes (curses) and then my front left melted so I couldn't keep up. In the circumstances I was pretty pleased with ninth although as Dave said, it was pretty and lonely out there...

One thing I was REALLY pleased about was that last Season I took 39:53 to do 32 laps. This time I manged the whole 34 laps (didn't get lapped - WOOHHOO!) in 41.14 -1.21 longer. No real mistakes either... Wink I'll take it!

 Smiley :)That was big fun !  I really enjoyed  this , as well scenery of snow covered Glenn was nice to look at . Being an speeding Santa for sure is a special feeling too. Hohoho .
 Grin As to the race : lots of flying cars , myself constantly mid speed nothing special .

 Sad Sad My Apologizes to Juha ! wasn’t my intention to overtake ,neither to attack . Quite the contrary was my plan …. Thought best to stay behind you . And  with another Fezza behind me , making an nice Ferrari train hard to break … well even though replay shows my car not over speeded hanging in your slipstream ( I extra off throttle ) I simply kicked into Juha . All over my fault . Again SORRY !.

 Shocked Very expressive fast laptimes by the front guys , big hand ! as well sort of expressive what two of our frontrunners do extract out the meaning of `We will run on Intermediate settings with unlimited Shift R, but followed by a compulsory Stop & Go ` .

 Smiley Cheesy Grats to all Elves and Santa and to those making this race taken place !

 Huh Any do know , where to download snowy Rouen ?

I seem to be having a bit of a purple patch at the moment & once again luck was on my side here. Art did a great lap for pole (interesting that both grids had the same, very quick, pole time of 1:08.8 ) & I lined up 3rd behind Mark's Ferrari. First half of the race was stalemate with the three of us locked together & since my fellow elf was leading, I was content to sit in 3rd for the first part of the race to see how things panned out.

Being so closely matched it was not easy to pass here & when Mark & AA touched at Big Bend around half-distance I was elevated to 2nd. With elf-honour at stake I chased hard to try & make a push for the lead - then Mark seemed to get caught out by traffic ahead, touched the grass & suddenly spun across the back straight. He was heading right, so I went left but then of course his car spun back across the track directly into my path Tongue I hit Mark nose first yet somehow my car remained intact. Then as I was regaining momentum Art ploughed into the back of me at high speed after swerving to avoid Mark's upturned car. I was astonished to find that after 2 big collisions my car was still in one piece but in all the confusion I forgot that I hadn't taken a reset & came within a whisker of accidentally taking a Stop & Go... A few tentative laps to assess damage revealed some odd tyre temperatures so my Lotus had sustained some suspension damage but it was fairly minor & with Mark now carrying full race fuel & having done a Stop & Go, I was able to hold a 5 second lead to the end. Congrats to the Barresi podium, commiserations to AA & hope everyone has a great xmas break.

Are you saying there should be a full moderation here Al, that will almost certainly result in the disqualification of half the Santa team? Wink

A great race , marred by 2 unforced errors when trying to push too hard . Felt like I had a slow puncture in the o/s rear and as the race progressed it got steadily worse , strange because the lap times said otherwise .

Some time close after half distance it looked like I could kill 3 red birds with one stone , but my plan went tits up with my car impailed on the armco at the big bend .

I was able to reverse off and continue unabated (who said Chapman made fragile cars ) but had lost a mess of time .

Thanks for the fun chaps and to all those involved in the hard work behind the scenes for this great race  Smiley

Well, it seems I ended up attracting all of Al's spare bad luck for the elves in this race  Grin Grin.

I equalled my PB in qually, although helped by a distant tow from one of the Godzilla brothers, but still I knew those couple of tenths I had in my pocket werent going to be enough to brake away from the other frontrunners sitting in my slipstream. So, I focussed more on getting right all my corner exits in the first laps, which worked pretty well until mid way through the race Mark managed to have a good run at me out of the loop, got alongside out of the left hander kink at the end of the straight, and ended up putting in a rather Godzillesque passing move at Big Bend, sliding a bit wide into me and puntiing me into the snow. Not impressed, I set off in hot pursuit now in third, until after a couple of laps I came across the Al/Mark collision aftermath, didnt stomp enough on the brakes and ended up joining the party and bringing one of my wheels as personal gift..Took immediately my stop and go but then fell victim of the WG pit exit, rather ingeniously positioned right at the flat out entry of the esses complex. So, had to wait ages for not one, but two cars to pass by, and it obviously goes without saying they were both Ferraris for good measure hammer hammer..

When I managed to reel in Cookie's red thing with 4 or 5 laps to go I knew the pass wasnt going to be easy. I was certainly proved right, no matter how closely glued to his tail pipes I managed to stay round the corners, the slipstream effect never kicked in quite soon enough to put in a safe pass in the braking zones. Until with a couple of laps to go, while trying to sit as close as possible to the Ferrari through the initial esses,  I thought well capping the evening with a trademark silly clipping move of the hay bales at the start of the straight. I really didnt feel like going through the pit exit traffic jam again, so at that point I bailed out..

Grats to Al who kept the elf honour high. But the Santas won, so hope the fat man in red is finally happy this year  Grin Grin Grin.

Merry Christmas guys, thanks for the racing! Wink
