Just getting the hang of things then .......................  Disco  :'( :'( :'(

Same for me Bernie - just let the leaders past and was hoping to catch Billy who had zoomed past after I had an engine failure - screen freeze.... aggggghhh.

Never mind - enjoyed it whilst it lasted.

screen freeze from 3rd place with just 8 to go

[Phil Thornton]

Had an interesting first 10 laps and then I found myself alone with a 30 second gap ahead and 15 second gap behind.  Then I made a silly mistake on the penultimate lap which allowed Dave R to close right up on me.  I managed to pull a decent gap to avoid being draughted on the long downhill section but Dave was closing fast under braking so I stayed wide anticipating a move on the inside.  There was a bit of warp contact on my replay which pushed me onto the grass and I lost the rear which caused me to spin taking Dave out.  Sorry about that.  Grats to the podium and to Ron on a stunning fastest lap.

The Heavy brigade will get more points than they expected because we still need to split the points. That is why there are two identical results - only one mod though

Seems it might be a slight problem as I had the same thing happen (screen freeze that is ) on the thursday practise server

No problem Phil, but it seems you car was warping (with lot of lags, I don't know the correct word).
I saw your engine in fire after our collision on the last turn of the last lap. did you do a shift-R, then ?

Also a big misunderstanding with Juha, he was close behind me and, as I know he is really quicker than me, I decided to slower and to go at the outside of the turn, so he could easily overtake me if he went at the apex of the turn.  but it did not work like this, sorry Juha !

Bathurst is afaik on the black list of the tracks with issues...
I had a freeze in the training sessions too, even as I sit in the next room to the server and my server froze in the F2 Cup!
Maybe we have to ask one of the track builders to have a look at this wonderful place of racing history...

Close Quali, with a difference of 4/100th I got the 5th place on the grid.
In the race I was a profiteur of the T1 mayhem and knew my lead would not last long
First Attilio got me and when Clive had my tow it was a matter of time when he passes me.
But what a surprise when Jason caught me in the same corner as I had not seen him in my pribluda before  
My pribluda informed me about the sudden loss of Jason, who would have deserved this podium!

It seemed more than one guy have had problems of freezes and CTD on this nice track. I've had nothing of these a few days ago when we raced but maybe Ginetto could take a look at this Track.

Oooh yes - you were Phil, not that I could have passed you anyway but it was like having Double Vision...

[BadBlood]

I've updated the points to reflect the tables - mighty close...
