UKGTR Season 16 - Nurburgring - Oct 14

[Mark J]

Bah, i managed to sabotage my own evening there by committing the cardinal sin of making an untried setup change at the very last minute  The car went from having mild understeer to terminal oversteer  What a dufus. By mid lap 2 it was almost undriveable in the downhill twisties and inevitably i swapped ends and ripped off my front splitter. Now the car had unbearable understeer and then when i missed the pit entrance for repairs, i Decided to retire than do 3 more laps with a damaged car. 

Great track though

Results and replay now uploaded

Two of the car are incorrectly labeled at the moment. It will get that sorted out.

Jon was too fast for me.

Nice lap times there Jon.

The race was fun for me. I did loose it almost as soon as Jon had caught me on the first lap. I had managed to get a good start and was in the lead from the beginning. After Jon caught me he waited till the long straight to pass me. After that he sailed off into the distance. I did my best to minimise the gap but, it was difficult and I almost lost it a few more times and had to back off on a few corners.

Grats Jon and nsfast.

Well done all, thanks for racing. This track is not easy to learn.

Quite enjoyed last night's race. Having not done a practice start I expected to go backwards but jumped in to 2nd place. Wasn't long before Jon caught up and got past though. Was running 3rd then until consecutive spins in one of the fast downhill bits dropped me to 5th. I then had the last lap and half or so to catch back up with ns and apex. Good little battle there with Apex making a small off track excursion I managed to get one place back. The 3 of us finished nose to tail, lucky for me the Apex was slow in a straight line or he would have easily had be on the long straight.

Hoping to make next week's race too.

I really enjoyed the challenge of this track. To keep concentrating for the amount of time you need to is unlike the other tracks we race. My race went quite smoothly which was helped by the Z4's stability/tyre wear so I could just think about keeping the car on the track, not that I didn't stray on to the grass a couple of times. I had a really long 1st gear which was always gonna kill my start, after I got going it was just a case of trying to keep the car on the track and to not overdrive.
It was nice to win but even nicer to finish
Well done everyone who finished and unlucky to those who didn't...and even more so to SRW

Should be able to make next weekend too
