UKGTL Season 13 The Fifties - Brands Hatch - Feb 25

[Legzy]

Are we using the "Brands Hatch" or the "Early Brands hatch" download link?


p.s. I've installed both & looked in the lobby to see which it named, but can't see our server? So I still don't know which to do a few laps of

It's Brands Hatch Indy, so that means the modern short circuit if I'm not mistaken. Had a couple of laps here earlier and it is very good fun 

[Legzy]

Cheers GT.

Have now banged in a few laps & managed to get into the 54's (race setup). Nobody else has mentioned their laptimes yet, so is a 54 good enough?

  I dont think I can make this race...............Damn.

Good to have you back Tony.

Well its 3 secs better than my qually time

[Legzy]

Cheers Tony. I'm in the Fezza which I think is quite well suited... if you can stop the rear constantly overtaking the front

BTW - Ferrari 375Plus for LM55 mod by DonPanoz and Citytea released over at Altbierbude.

I hope we'll see this mod also at NoGrip.

Will that  car be added to our series here?

Hope so. But let me get back to full power first OK? 

[SpecialKS]

Of course !

Another disco but I had less than 12 laps to go and I was two laps down so not really more than an inconvenience.

Great to see those battles going on. Those cars look and sound epic.

Those cars look and sound epic.

I have to agree. I've only tried three so far & they've each been tricky so far, but definitely worth the little effort to enjoy the reward. Lovely machines.

I think the key to success tonight was picking a car that wouldn't destroy its tyres in 10 laps. Wish I'd thought of that before the race
Finished a fortunate winner. Think GT was quickest but also suffered tyre problems I guess. Mark was fast too, what happened mate you were going strong it looked?
Had some very close tough racing with Syd early on, only got clear when he went wide at T1 eventually, which GT later did too.

Think that's back to back GTL wins, certainly never ever managed that before (or again I should imagine ).
Well done to the finishers & see you all next week hopefully.

Results and replay now posted.

@Legzy must be that pre-race blue pill that's getting you the results

PC locked up again just before 2000 hrs - hacked off. Getting my PC man today.

  Two in row Legzy.... Top man.    As I said before at the beginning I could not stay for the whole race due to family commitments....So did ten laps putting Gold top under some pressure then pitted and retired. I would loved to have stayed because the Merc was just getting better and better and I was beginning to close Goldtop down but thats the way it goes I guess! 

See you next week folks.

That was a bit of a disaster for me. No disrespect to Legzy who drove a great race from far back, but my backside needs a good kicking for losing that 

Fezza was the best choice here and I knew I would have the pace on Mark's Merc. After opening up a small gap in the first few laps, I went into tyre conservation mode doing just enough to keep out of reach. When Mark had to leave and with a big gap behind me, I eased off more.....and with that went the concentration  Silly mistakes into Paddock Hill saw me through the gravel and into the tyres and then a spin and stall soon after. With a few laps to go I spun it again and Legzy was past me. I managed to close him down a bit, but made a little error pushing too hard and eventually ran out of laps.

Congrats to Legzy for a great drive and well done all those who finished
