UKPnG Season 8 Grand Touring Championship - Oschersleben - May 16

No problem Walt, I'd already made contact the previous lap, and I didn't notice any effects. The race started okay, but it was my first time in these cars, and after too many excursions I called it a day.

I fixed the classification of the Alpina at P&G 70s Group 4 - if it should be Group 2 let me know and I'll change it.

As Jarda Zacek still hasn't registered despite requests for him/her to do so, should he/she be barred from taking part in future races?

All the BMW CSLs are in Group 2 Dave.


Good race for me apart from the early spin, was surprised I was the only one in the Capri.

Jumped up to 2nd at the start after I avoided the stationary Mogget, you need to get your starts sorted Mogg  . Took a couple of laps to really get upto speed by which time Mogg was on my case. Made an error at T1 when I braked too late & got into a bit of a slide, overcorrected & spun off!   This dropped me back to around 8th or 9th. Had a good chase back up the field although I never really had a battle with anyone, every time I got near to the car ahead they span off. With John's engine blow up & all the spinners I was a bit lucky to finish 4th only a couple of seconds behind Alessandro's Porsche.

Congrats to Mogg (great drive), Rob & Alessandro.

I can get reasonable starts in some cars (got a decent one in the Shelby Daytona Coupe at Suzuka on Tuesday), but others are just sluggish to "take off" with autoclutch. I wasn't stationary in the BMW, but I guess it probably looked like that to you!

Can't ban Jarda, I wouldn't have anyone to race if we did!
Can we register him? even without his email address and stuff
it would be better than having a guest each week.

Really? Your call. Maybe send him a pm to explain that he needs to register?

Errr..........If he hasn't registered he can't receive a PM?

He may not even visit this forum!

You probably have to catch him on the server.    And hope he can understand English.

[phspok]

I'm not sure registration is mandatory to race with us. He runs with us regularly so
should do really, I (or anyone who meets him on chat) will ask him to register next
time we race.

Jardas a clean decent racer, no reason to ban him because he hasnt registered ! If he was a wrecker or liability then it would be a different matter. Im guessing he doesnt speak English but enjoys the classic racing here. 

[Nik]

that was an scary race for me, The difference in speed in some corners from bmw and the porsche caught me by surprise thus in one time I made contact with Clive and spun him, Im so sorry for that, I even lifted a lot, thought u did ur braking ones and u brake again caught me by surprise, since I was so close to you there wasn't time for me to react and hit u,

as for the Race was fun till tires lasted, following a bmw in the tripple corners made me have some off track moments, since I had to brake for those corners to slow down not to hit the bmw and I wasnt used on braking in those corners and that translated in me going off track avoiding contact, a part from one time I couldn't avoid phspok as he went wide in the grass and I was right behind to follow and just made a little contact sorry for that did all I could.

Congrats to Mogget for the win great job mate.

Cheers guys looking forward for the next race

[phspok]

No Problem Nik, I was very aware that I was being a pest to the Porkas 

[Clive Loynes]

A few things I forgot to say:

1) Well done to Alessandro for doing what I couldn't and getting the Porsche on the Podium

2) After my unfortunate demise, I spent the rest of the race watching Goldtop trying to figure out a way past Clive. I know from experience that trying to get past a BMW in a Porsche is an exercise in futility

3) From watching the above I just have one other thing to say... Apexes, Clive! Apexes!

LOL

Sure you are absolutely right John but by the time you were watching I was happy just to stay on the grey bit!

Grats to Mogget, Alessandro and errr..........Robert?

Please note that I have said nothing about the track, or the cars;  absolutely nothing, nowt, bugger all, not a word.  OK  wouldn't like anyone to think that I might moan a bit.

Grats to Mogget, Alessandro and errr..........Robert?

You seem shocked. Well, so am I. Just a bit lucky that some of the faster guys had problems.
Got a bad start. It was hard to tell if I was bogging or spinning the tires. Then had a good race with Alessandro for about 10 laps. He wasn't making many mistakes, so I had to be patient and get a perfect entry and exit in the last turn. It took a few tries to get it right, but then I was able to pull away from him. Much better than the last time I raced at this track.

But we cannot pm him nor is he beholdent to incident moderation if any were needed in the future.
