UKPnG Season 8 British Historic Cup - Oulton Park - Sep 12

[johnw]

Sorry about the dive at the hairpin, Ivan. Wasn't supposed to be a passing attempt - I left my braking too late and had to throw it sideways. Sorry if it put you off

[Stefan aka Postal]

Mmm i found a stationary Mini in the chicane scared the living daylights out of me and i rolled my car. Darn, dead last.
I was having lots of fun after a great start, i lost a couple positions. Then i got into my rhythm and was going nicely, until my flip that is. Good turnout tonight.Thanks all for racing

It's good to be back racing with you guys, after so many weeks of other commitments!

I even got on the podium, but not in a way one can be proud of. In the Abarth one should at least be able to keep up with an Elite - but no chance of that if it's driven by John. John, please tell us you are right-foot braking and consuming some magic potion before the race

Ed had a disco and should have been able to stay in front of me otherwise. On the whole, my scavenger tactics paid off - I took harder tyres and concentrated on not falling off, sacrificing a bit of speed, and had a great battle for third with Jack Sargent who was faster than me but not consistently so and eventually spun.  

Congrats to the two really fast guys!

Walter mentioned about this league and I thought I'd join tonight. I was running 2nd for a while after a good start but the Abarth got the better of me a couple of times and I went off track. Many times I almost rolled the thing from taking the wrong curb too aggressively. Had a good battle with Niels for 3rd for several laps and then dropped back further from cooked tyres and more mistakes.

The Abarth and this track are a real handful!   I was totally knackered by the end of the race.

Anyway thanks for the racing and I'll try and make some more meetings in the future.

No problem John. I'm wondering why the game disqualified me. If i've done something wrong i have to make sure this will not happen next time. Grats to the winners

Fell asleep at the start and lost a few places into T1 but managed to claw back to 3rd behind Jack. Had a nice few laps of chasing and eventually passed when Jack ran wide exiting Knickerbrook. Set about chasing down John, but then had a spin going through Cascades which put an end to any chance of catching him....grats on another impressive drive and in a slower car  

Seemed to be more than the usual booted issues on the server tonight which was a shame.

Results and Replay Posted

I seemed to be the only Lotus 7, didn't notice Stig leaving, so went to get a Fiat
and then couldn't get back in after several booted as cheat the race had started.

Yep, you guessed it we were on the official server. Mine is switched off, and is a 2 hour
round trip to switch it on.

sorry to hear about the disco and booted issues

[robiker]

Kinda disappointed. Got rear-ended again, on the second lap, then hit escape with one lap to go when I thought the race was over. Had some good close racing in between tho.

So, where are the boundaries at this track? Is it the white line, the edge of the pavement, or the curbs?

Supposed to be white lines meaning that at least two wheels must be on the "correct" side of them.

btw I`ll skip next race ... not at home.

[Clive Loynes]

Actually I believe that Matt is applying the rule of two wheels touching the tarmac, no matter what colour it is.

[Walter Conn]

Good race today, sorry to those who had bad luck. This track was a welcome challenge for me. I didn't practice enough ahead of time. I made a few mistakes, and lost a few positions Legzy, Robiker and Superswift. The results show me ahead of Robiker and Superswift, but I finished the race behind them.

I was glad to see two new drivers, Bob and Jack join us tonight. Bob said that he tried to register with this website ahead of time, but that he never received the confirmation e-mail.

Thanks for the race,
Walter

Guess that was me Robiker, sorry to mess up your race. Your car seemed to be very stuttering for the first half of the race. I waited for you after the tab and we had a great couple of laps chasing each other and finally overtaking Walter. Thereafter I had my eyes set on Ledgy (also in an Elite) and in the final laps we had a close battle, but my engine died in the last short straight before the final turn and my Elite stopped just before the start/finish line….

Was great to be back after a summer of no online activity, hope to see you next race!

It was a shame that I had to miss this race. The turnout looked to be pretty good, but after several practice laps I was getting an annoying muscle pain in my lower right back that wouldn't quit. After previous back problems several years ago, I tend to play it safe these days. Hopefully I will be fighting fit for the race at MoSport, although unfortunately I will not be racing the week after at Laguna Seca. When I first saw the car list for this race, I was looking forward to it. Then I noticed that it was an endurance race After my aforementioned back problems, I no longer take part in really long races. Oh, well.......
