UKPnG Season 7 British Touring Car - Castle Combe - Apr 12

[Clive Loynes]

LOL

Don't think that I would stand out long in Tony's "Light Shower"!

[FullMetalGasket]

"Light Showers (40%)"    wow, finally we get to try a race with some rain ... cool !

I was looking forward to do 3 races in the Alfa GTA 1600, but ........ huu....... I am almost 2 secconds faster in the Mustang TA.

Unfortunately the Mustang TA brakes just as good as the Alfa in this sim, which is hardly the case IRL

Speaking as one of the idiots (read as Marshals) who was stood by the track all day for the bank holiday meeting, can I say that I wish it had mearly been 'light showers'!
My overalls have only just dried out and my rucksack is still damp! 

Some epic car control on display though and most race's were pre-65 too so lots of powersliding 

Tempted to stick with the 'Stang if I still can, although I am a sucker for the Alfa's...

May not be as competitive though as I have a wobbly desk at the mo to race from

Tap on the rear from Henry at the start of lap 3 span me on to the wet grass and I simply couldn't get any traction to rejoin. Thanks for waiting Henry, hope you managed to grab some places back. Looked like it was going to be a cracking race. Oh well. Have a good'un chaps

[Henry]

no, left the race few laps later when i got lapped, hopeless 30s behind the rest. can't handle the car in the rain on this track.

That was great fun, at last a P&G race in the rain! Every round of the Brit TC series should be in the wet 

The grid looked great with all the spray etc as the cars hurtled down the track in groups of tinas, stangs and Alfas 

Despite not a single lap of praccy as ive been on hols, i thoroughly enjoyed that. Got up to the lofty height of 7th for a long while and was closing on Superswift ahead. But then Ade caught me late on and despite me thinking i would enjoy a good tina v tina battle with him,i promptly had two horrible laps of the race and made it dead easy for him to pass and scarper  :'(
Then it was all over for catching the guys ahead unless they span off but they didnt so finished 8th, not bad with no praccy and a wet track, as well as being thoroughly outgunned here by the Stangs and Alfas 

Enjoyed watching Matt and Muttram power sliding through some of the corners in the wet in their Mustangs 

Congrats to the Podium and all finishers

I was having a pretty good race early on, exchanged taps at the last corner with a tina, not sure who. Sorry about that, the first was my fault. Got up to sixth by about lap 9 or 10, then everything froze for ten seconds and suddenly I'm dead last. A bit of a lonely run after that but at least got back to my qually position. Will be out for a few weeks as I'm starting a new job. See you all again when I can  ...

Great race despite slow pace. Had fun sliding and dodging spinning Alfa's 
Fantastic turnout. Almost forgot how busy it can be on track with 16 cars.

(...) then everything froze for ten seconds and suddenly I'm dead last.

Yeah, something strange went on. Managed to keep it on the road but there was some heavy lockups. Thought it was my machine. 

[johnw]

I think that went as well as could reasonably be expected, given the Mustang dominance! Very obliging of Geoffers to leave the track in front of me, as I doubt I was going to get past any other way

I'll see if I can get that 'tina setup uploaded when I get back from work.

Sorry couldn't make this one spent day on Weston Super Mare Grand Pier with relatives over from Oz.  Got home knackered.
