UKPnG Season 8 Grand Touring Championship - Charade - Apr 18

[Mogget]

Thanks. I thought there was something wrong on my PC!

[Legzy]

.... this really should mean i get an extra bonus of 50points in the championship

But that would put you on at least 60 by the end of season (breaking your all time record). No way!

 

[Walter Conn]

I had a CTD right before the race was about to start. It was not meant to be today. Hope that everyone else had a good race.

Thanks,
Walter

[Mogget]

Bumped by a Capri behind me several times over the first lap, and ended up spinning after another bump at T1 at the start of the second lap. I really didn't have the enthusiasm to carry on when I had been so careful not to touch the guy in front of me at all.

[SpecialKS]

Choose the slower Alfa because it is more fun than the Capri for me.
Set a new pb in lap 3 - have to look at the replay to see if it was a
legal one... - but simply too tired to concentrate during the whole
distance on this challenging track, so I quit.

Great turnout again. CU next time.

Was having a very nice race until I was spun around at the uphill hairpin. Was then bumped off track at the top of the hill and lost interest after that tbh so quit

[Legzy]

Had a very entertaining first half of the race. Being held up by John (I wont get to say that very often ) while seeing his teammate Clive gradually pulling out a gap ahead, over the first few laps. John then had a wobble & span, I had to slow right down to avoid contact & Nik nipped past from behind, meaning I stayed in 3rd lol
Then I was catching Nik & past him with Capri POWER, but I think I should have used Hard tyres not Mediums as he was very quickly all over me in every corner with his Porka for about the next 10 laps. Excellent driving by Nik & not so much as a scuff on our bumpers . Almost a shame to see him fall behind after what I think was a wobble then a spin shortly after(?).
So from then it was just trying to get to the end in one piece, there was no danger at this point of catching Clive & gradually the gap behind was increasing till the last couple of laps when my front tyres really were shot & concentration had somewhat reduced.

My 2nd PnG race here & my 2nd time on the 2nd step of the podium. Happy with that

[Legzy]

BTW - Anybody who's not yet part of a team:

I wonder if you'd fancy joining Niels (NPP) & me driving for Team Oldie Racing?

Those cads @Soggy Bottom Racers (Clive, John & Senior Dan) have been dominating recently & won the last couple of seasons (booo, hiss!).
NPP & me have started scoring decent points more regularly, but could really do with another driver to hopefully help boost our tally some weeks.

If you're interested, let me know?

p.s. Team Pseudo (Matt) would also welcome a new team mate. It's just another way to add to the fun really, scoring in the Team championships too & adds to the banter

That's where you are going wrong you see.

There is only one proper TEAM.

Had a good race, albeit a very tough one. This track is very challenging and tiring!

Had a slow start to qually but then picked up the pace as I got my eye in. Banged in a 2:10.6 but that was still only good enough for 8th!  

Race was good from the very start although I got mugged off the line by a couple of cars. I was just thinking how nice and clean everybody was over the first few laps when Moggett sadly quit after obvious contact, sad to see for his first race here.
I pretty much chased animal Ed blinking hard for 90% of the race!! Very good fun and challenge.  
It was excellent until we caught up with the two hooligans in the blue capris who seemed to be very fast but also all over the place!   Not sure what was happening up ahead but there seemed to suddenly be a fair bit if contact and it all looked chaotic with spinning cars etc. (if anyone feels aggrieved at any contact, submit it in the incidents thread and maybe Matt, myself or whoever can look into it)
it affected my rhythm and I lost some time but gained places from others having spins or running wide, running anything between 5th and 8th for several laps. Lost some time when John bumped me off allowing geoffers and Ed to recatch and eventually pass.
Chased Ed to the finish line! For a top 8 finish.  

Big congrats to Clive, legzy and Hotkeys for the podium on a tough track

Another newbie here, racing under my real name - Robert Beck.
Will there be an official replay posted? Mine didn't start recording until lap 7.
Also, where's the report form?

[Hotkeys]

Had a very entertaining race with many great duels :-)

It was very strange to be able to fight with John speedWhizzard
Of course this was only possible, because he was in a slower car  

Had a look at the replay, and when passing Robert, I obviously tapped the rear of his car and set him a bit of his coarse.
I really didn't notice it when it happened, that's why I didn't let you pass me.

Sorry mate

Results and Replay POsted


Hi Rob, I have updated your name now so you won't be "unkown" in future.

I have posted the replay, there is a link at the top of the page "LM2 Replays Downloads Rules Circuits Teams"

If you want to put in an incident report the link is just below the results.

No problem.
I was moving over to let you by anyway, so you didn't really push me off course that much.

Yeah, sorry about that - I was a bit too eager with the loud pedal

Don't forget about SpecialKS and Hotkeys with his podium finish tonight!
