I decided to start this one an hour later than usual so that it does not clash with the real life F1 race in Texas at the new circuit.

Although I suspect I could be the only one out of us that will actually be watching it.

I hope this is OK with everyone. Please post here or PM if this will cause any problems for anyone.

Not that i'm bitter but that is a bit biased towards those who can afford skysports!

[H@L9000]

The replay for the F1 on BBC starts at 22.25 which should give some time after our race has finished.

I dont have skysports myself, I would be watching at over at my mates house down the road. I wish I could afford a subscription but I am no city banker.

I dont mind having the race at the normal time if you would prefer that.

[SRW]

i am happy with either start time, (i will be watching the poor mans version on BBC1)

Nice race for me. No problems just a nice steady drive.
At the end of the race I was coming up to lap srw and spanner and I think I broke both their concentration at the end, resulting in offs.

Nice racing everyone and unlucky Spanner.

[SRW]

nice flowing track , was doing ok until i lost concentration exiting the final corner and ran wide then hit the pitwall as the rear end came round as i was trying to accelerate back on to the track

then lost concentration when i saw jonM in my mirrors and messed up my braking into a corner!

[spanner]

Nah, my concentration disappeared in the first 10mins or so, with a 4 sec gap behind, i was drifting off a but too much so made a few mistakes. dropped back behind Apex and nsfast but couldnt make a dent, think Apex was runnign shotgun! but it did mean i was running prob a bit too close to Apex alot so got a bit distracted by giw wayward lines at times so made a few too many mistakes and dropped back again! oh well, enjoyed it while it lasted, think i'd pushed the rears a bit too much towards the end and it was getting too unsettled by the kurbs.

Would liked to have joined you for this but no way I could disappear off racing for an hour or so after hogging the tv for 3 hours watching the (brilliant) f1 race in Texas. It would have caused a tad of home strife
