I also have a strong opinion on fecking cwappy pcs/games. Pc crashed when on server and now I cant log back into server. Lobbys ok and I can get on other servers, not just the one I want.

O well

Me too, had 3 disco's in Qually (so no timed lap). Then had a good start gaining some places and had some nice intermarque battles when I had a last disco at the chicane in Lap 5. Hope I didn't take anyone with me...

See you next one!

Shoddy built in tracks

Well I discoed out too at about 1/2 distance, but I'm not going to complain. I'd done zero practice, joined late & found myself in the Ford Crapi (again) as I had something of a set up from Charade. Was very midfield & on my own from lap 3 when I lost touch with MJ (which shows how slow I was going! ).

Ah well, looking forward to Silverstone next week with hopefully a little practice under my belt

I too joined late but managed one qualy time before the start. Think I discoed on lap 1 or 2. No times on xp and i seemed to be the only one going around the track.

That's a shame Ian. Connections seem to have been a bit wobbly here lately, so maybe just bad luck  

Had a cracker of a race. Spent most of it staring at the back of frex's Capri until I managed to sneak past with a few laps to go. Having done the hard work I then lost it on the straight going up the hill to the final turn   which put me under pressure for the final lap. I then had a double downshift at Old Hairpin which spun me round and put me back in 4th  

Anyway, excellent fun and congrats to Geoffers for the win, frex and Nik for the podies

Had to guess at some of the cars/tyres

I would love to know why people from Eastern Europe can stay connected to our server that appears to be in cheltenham UK
and is only 6 hops from Central London, yet some brits can't.
I would blame the server, but it's usually the same people who disco. Nik had trouble staying connected
to even the prac server once, but seems more stable recently, it is a genuine mystery, but it concerns me.

As I've not used this pc for months its not surprising it went wonky Spring cleaning as we speak and should be good for next week.

The connection thing happended yesterday in pracci as well. Originally connect ok, pc crashes, after restart, lobby and other server works fine but can't connect to server to which i was connected at time of crash. Seems cwappy game related rather than server led?

[phspok]

Could be, I was thinking more of others who seem to disco alarmingly often. Geoffers discos at times but stayed on tonight.

Tough long race but enjoyable and tainted by frustration!

Thought I was on the pace with low 46's only to find about 6 guys were doing 45's  :'(

Qualied in top 10, had okay start but got squeezed onto the apex kerb at turn 1 by Clive's Capri. Then lost time behind Niks 911 which seemed very erratic for first lap and avoiding him allowed Robert to get past in his escort.
This proved to be the proverbial spanner in the works for my race as I couldn't get past him for the rest of the race and spent long spells behind Rob and Clive ahead. If I could have got passed into clean air I think I may have pulled away as I was losing a bit of time behind them. 3 times I took avoiding action to avoid rear ending Robs car under braking (twice taking to the escape lane at the chicane!) and lost several seconds each time, but always recatching them again after a few laps. but fair play to Rob/clive they stayed calm and quick to keep ahead.
Towards the end tyre wear seemed to affect several cars and soon 5th to 8th were all within 2 secs of each other which made for a great final 5 or 6 laps. Seniordans escort looked a real handful and I put him under a lot of pressure, eventually paying off as he lost it into craners. Would have liked another 5 laps to re attack rob again but race finished.
Finished 7th I think but had hoped for higher.

Congrats to top 3 who seemed way ahead of the rest of us.

That was a fun race, love the IROC and the track, Grats to Geoffers. bad luck for goldtop for the mistake awarded me the podium.

I noticed at the championship standings some of my points missing, have I been eliminated or smth?.

I had a quick look at the standings and can't see you in the results in previous races, apart from Mallory, where you were outside the points.

Hi Matt,

The 302 BOSS cars are actually divided in two groups, Gr3+2l and the 70s Gr2.
I've listed the 302's with their group with their tyres (took that from the showroom piccie, haven't checked in-game):

Gr3+2L:
#001 (69001) - Goodyear
#002 (69002) - Goodyear
#015 (69015) - Firestone
#016 (69016) - Firestone
#045 (69045) - Goodyear
#083 (69083) - Goodyear

70s Gr2:
#009 (70009) - Goodyear
#070 (70070) - Goodyear

Hope this helps.. and thanks for organising these cracking races

Thanks Alex. I am away so can't look at PG.


Wot CLive said Nik, The only other BHC event you ran in was Mallory where you were outside the points.
here are 5 P&G series on here. British Historic, Sports Cars, and GT run once every 4 weeks.
The Limited Choice and Enduro alternate over 8 weeks. Each series has it's own championship scores.
