I'll definitely miss this one  . Need some days (respectively evenings) to make a complete new setup of my Windows with all components after I destroyed the boot section of windows when playing around with Linux yesterday  Fortunately no data were lost. CU soon and have fun. |

Only 50/50 I can make this one and only managed about 8 laps practise over the week so not expecting much hope to make it. |

I was able to do a couple of practice sessions, but both were only ten laps each. I just hope that I choose a hard enough tire compound and put enough fuel for the race. |

I'm sure someone will let you know what fuel & tyres they are taking if you ask the question at the end of quali... make sure it's someone trustworthy though  |

why did the race start early? I got home at 8.30 rushed to get in the lobby only to be told cant join during the 'race' session  and status said 'racing' next to the track/server. I should have had 10-15 minutes before the race started and was hoping to bang in a couple of qually laps :'( |

Not sure why the time was wrong. I assume the practice time was set wrong.
I was having a good race until I spun in a fast curve, was hoping to recover, but was in the way of
Simon , I suppose I should have esc, but it looked like he would miss.
Ah well.

never really felt the love for this combo & you need to feel it at Thruxton or you're either slow or off track, could have used some more time in qually to get to grips with it.
Never mind.

I am sorry LesN. I should have hit escape. I spun across track and stopped in a bad place.  I could have continued, but I was too mad at myself to drive the car.  I look forward to the next one, and hopefully regain LesN's trust. EDIT: There were a few other cars that were able to dodge my car. I am sorry to them as well. Thanks, Walter |

That was a very enjoyable race with a rather disappointing final few laps. I was very slowly closing the gap to Goldtop, Alessandro and Geoffers......and then Goldtop's car started lagging badly. I spent the rest of the race dodging ghost cars (or hitting them on two or three occasions), and it lost me loads of time. Nevertheless, I was pleased with my pace in the Escort, and P5 was a decent result. EDIT: On a side note....welcome to the WSL Racing Team, Nik  |

Had to quit mid-race to answer the damned door.
Probably would have been last on track anyway, if I had enough fuel.
