Moderator's Report

The red zone was generally clean but unfortunately a crash at T1 (again!) affected the race for all but the front three. Ross Hawkey was the big beneficiary showing the way to drive through an incident.

This is Novices and Drivers MUST be careful when running close. The better drivers will come through due to the high level of mistakes so patience will always pay off.


Server replay time: 0h01m12s

Geoff brakes late and has to dive up the inside. He makes the corner but nudges Dave C. The touch is very slight but is enough to spin Dave. The crash collects Rog and leaves Billy nowhere to go either. The ensuing carnage ruins several races.

Rules have this: The victim made no mistakes and was driving their normal line at normal speed. The shunter had lost control on the approach to the braking zone and consequently braked later than intended.

It isn\'t an exact fit but the best fit.


Server replay time: 0h02m34s

Dave sees that Phillipe is slow as he sees Tony spinning and is on a wide line. He has a much better exit and tries to cut down the inside. As Phillipe takes the racing line he finds Dave has got alongside. This was a legitimate overtake but it might have been wiser of Dave to be more patient and Phillipe could have stayed wider.


Server replay time: 0h04m59s

Tony is a little slow at the Melling Crossing and Geoff is caught by surprise as Tony has been quite quick in places and he doesn\'t expect Mr. W to be so cautious. Tony has asked for no penalty, which is generous. Geoff is a lucky boy...


Server replay time: 0h31m12s

Paul V rejoins after a trip on the grass and Billy, who is approaching fast from behind is baulked. Billy makes slight contact with Paul but this is Pauls responsibility as he is rejoining. However Paul is unsighted by the track geography but he should have used his ears as well as his eyes.

Disastrous race.....Sad  I'd been practicing a while in the Coop for this race, and knew it was going to be a difficult one. Apologies to Dave Curtis for hitting you at T2. I had a good run on teammate Rog out of T1 and figured I'd have a crack at him, to try and keep some of the Lotus's at least in sight! I braked early by my standards, but Rogs' Fezza stepped sideways into my path, shortening my braking distance available by at least 1/2 a mile. I had to ease the brakes and jink around him to avoid a contact, but from that point it wouldn't have stopped....I was pretty much a passenger. So from then on I got hit from pillar to post by every man and his auntie....and deposited on my nut in the middle of the track.
Reset, s n g later, and the race was a washout really. Confirmed that presumtion after the s n g, chased Dave C out of the pits, decided I could possibly run for a while with him and use the pace of the Lotus to drag me up....Until we encountered Tony in the Honda. Dave snuck past in the technical section and left me trying to get by a car painfully slow in the corners and rocket fast in a straight line. Even up the back straight in his draft the Coop would only stay with him, it wouldn't even consider drafting by. Now, I'd deliberately been quite slow through the kink trying to maintain accurate lines and working on a tidy entry into the last corner, aiming at a fast exit onto the S/F straight. I couldn't see Dave Curtis had spun and was sitting off to the right from the kink, nor were there any yellows waving at that point. Sorry indeed for swatting the back of your Honda Tony, but you must have been fixated on the spinner rather than where you were meant to be going. Forgetting to drop the brakes and to accelerate.....left me nowhere else to go, you just kept coming back at me. And, really 80mph thru the kink is about 20-25mph slower than my regular pace thru the corner, and i was taking it easy....I was a bit concerned I might get t-boned mid corner at my pace. I truly had no way of knowing you were struggling that much. the offer of some training is still open at your leisure. PM me when you want to.
Congratulations to my 2 CH teammates for their fine driving, and snaring of P1 and P2 .....and a special 'Well Done' to Paul, for his excellent 3rd. You owe me a beer for those diff settings, we'll talk bars next time.... Wink
Geoff.

This week’s tale of woe. Couldn’t quite get below 1.52 in qualifying which meant middle of the grid start. Generally not the best place to be. Turn 1 – steady start. Turn 2 – Oh S**t. Cars bounced left & right but left deceptive gap in the middle – which was promptly filled by a sideways car (Geoff?). Ended up facing the wrong way & had to drive back to find space to turn – last place but one. Better plan would have been to have watched the football, skipped qually & started at the back of the grid. Same end result.
Had a number of different battles with team-mate DC. One ended with a wheel on the grass before the kink. Not usually a problem – I reckon I hit a pile of horse s**t left over from the other sort of racing.
Second one at Beachers bend, closed up on DC & Paul V. Paul took a really wide line, which must of scrubbed off speed so I closed up much faster than expected & tapped him. We both spun off & attempted a synchronised rejoin. Apologies for the contact, but by the time I worked out the speed differential I couldn’t avoid contact.
Quite fond of this track – will be a chance to try again in the F2’s later in the season.

Black Night seem to be slipping down the table – extra practice for Zandvoort guys!

couldnt really decide if to stick with the fezza or try the Lotus for a change.

although as Paul and others mentioned the Lotus may be faster but perhaps a bit more hard work.

I tried a few praccy sessions in both and although the Lotus seemed Ok, chose the Ferrari as the setup and overall driving experience seemed in favour of the track for me. could go much faster than lowish 1:54,s or high 53.s anyhow.

got a nice steady start and got outdragged by a few cars by me that got away really well.  came up on the crash just over the crossing and although i missed most of it came almost to a standstill and nudged a spinning car, really sorry to whoever that was.... although seeing you had burst into flames while spinning around on your head i think i was the least of your worries.. although my apologies for the bump.. 1st lap so if im due a mod bashing then i shall find out soon enough.

after that that things went really well for a few laps with somemore good racing, even saw i was 5th at one point due to picking up some free places while all the fast boys sorted themselves out. going really well until middish point when had the, err ? what should we call it ? Incident with Billy :0), or was it a happening ? .. not sure cos it wasnt really an accident, was basically me finding the ol fezza starting to get a little loose, Dave C was going real well and was behind me but in front of Billy when he quite rightly took the chance to come up inside while i was "slewing" out away from my line. I had no option to try to stay wide, slow down and control an iffy car.. no good, touched the grass and went wider and slower still... dave made an excellent move and was gone.. trouble is by then I had regained something akin to control and had get back onto the track and was just getting underway when Billy, who had been chasing us around the corner came upon me, still pullin. up me Knickers and trying my best to get going after my short sojuorn into the countryside. It was only the tiniest of nudges, but in GPL thats all one needs.  So Im sorry to you Billy for being in the way, you really tried all you could mate to miss me. so no probs there, I was actually giggling as after we sorted ourselves out. We had what I can only describe as a "GPL square dance" to rejoin the track.. was glad you got away before me bill because after my mistake it was your place anyway as I had screwed up the corner. happily Dave was OK. shame you never got through while I was "Moose Swerving" allover the grass n track :0)

after that settled down for a while until a little bit of loss of concentration and the Ferrari running a bit wide and loose again saw me take a couple of offs, luckily didnt bother no one else but did drop back 2 or 3 places or so.

really had some good racing as I say, most was in the company of Dave C & Billy but most importantly also had a great time.  even got down into the 1:51,s and a new PB.  

hope I didnt cause anyone any issues,  and congrats to Al, Ross and all the  podium boys... including fellow MooseMan "Badblood". great finish Paul, and in a Honda too. 

cheers to one and all.. see you at the next one.



Paul V.

With practically a different podium for each round so far, the driver standings (provisionally) Roll Eyes are really quite close with the top six being seperated by just 16 points. Paul- if the results from Aintree stand I think I will be in for some shackles at Zandvoort- would that mean a choice of BT7 or Cooper?

I suspect the result won't stand... but probably yes. Zandy won't be too bad with the handicap. All the chassis are pretty close round here, even the BT7 for the poor leader...
