Moderator's Report

Slight bash of wheels between Nigel and Rog at the hairpin but nothing else in the Red Zone. Another clean race. Well done.


Server replay time: 0h24m52s

Al comes from a VERY long way back at the hairpin and tries to nip inside Fabio. Fabio always had the corner and Al was never going to make that gap. Al and Fabio both brake at their usual place but Al has picked up some tow and is surprised by it and tries to squeeze past. He has held his hands up and knows what is coming...

The rules have this "The overtaking driver had not achieved any degree of overlap at turn-in. The overtaking driver WOULD have made the corner. Penalty for overtaking driver."

This attracts a penalty of two places but I am mitigating this to one as I believe that Al was caught out by the tow and had not intended the overtake. He also clearly slowed to allow Fabio back past but the Wolf's engine blew instead. In retrospect he should have sacrificed himself instead of trying to make the corner but hindsight always was a smug bastard.

It was fun, indeed.
I didn't tried such track with 65s before Monday morning but I found my pace very soon
Really, I didn't expect to be a competitive one!
I was also surprised by Al's speed on such track.

A quite good starting place, when trying the most of the qualify period with full tank to look for a race pace...

Not a bad race start and after some laps I realized I was in a 2nd place!

Unfortunately, Al decided to do some bomb diving in my Honda at the hairpin: let's see what the mods will think about it. 

The following lap, at the same turn, while he was giving me back the second place (thx mate!!) my engine exploded  cursing censored cursing censored cursing

Really don't know if I overrev my engine trying to catch Al, if it was a consequence or our contact or if it was only a bad luck, but these are reces, isn't it?

After s+r I was back at 5th place and after few lap up on 4th place and it wasn't possible to catch the last podium place...

Grats to everybody raced, to the podium and to the race organization.

Cu soon on track

Hello, I'm a bit late but here it goes anyway.

First of all sorry to Fabio, the incident was my fault, I got my braking wrong, I tried to back out of it but I was too hot and just about the only thing left for me to do was try to pass on the inside but I was in your blind spot. Sorry about that, I did try to let you past on the next lap, but your engine blew.

I have been practicing for this race much more than I have before, I was hoping for a good result. In qualifying I was on pole for almost the whole session, I was really hoping for my first pole position, but it wasn’t to be as Norm pulled a fanatics lap out of the bag and left me second, great lap Norm well done. I’d already done a PB so I couldn’t go any faster.

As the race started I got an OK start, I was holding position. My car didn’t really like full tanks and cold tyres so I started slowly to build everything up. Rob drove around the outside of me at the hairpin, and Norm had a little off at some point, so going into the second or third lap I was second, closely following Rob Venn. I made a small mistake and half spun the car, letting Rob go and putting me back into the pack with Fabio and Jason. I had some good racing with these two for basically the whole race.

I almost felt sorry for Jason, as he was really pushing that BT7 around quickly, his only weakness was the straight, which I used to pass him when ever I made a mistake and was behind him. Myself and Fabio had a little coming together, which again I’m sorry for, but after and after I got past Jason again I settled down a bit and ended up second, before the mods report.

Second is still my best result in GPL (before the mods report), so I am pretty happy. I don’t think I could of beat Rob as he drove a near enough perfect race.
