Moderator's Report

Server replay time: 0h00m57s

Dean_0 gets sideways under braking into the Carousel. Arf gets caught out but does Dean a favour bumping back on a straight line. Racing Incident


Server replay time: 0h01m40s

Dean_0 returns a favour to Arf, with interest by running into the back of him on the approach to the hair pin. Arf's brake point seemed reasonable. The rejoins are rather untidy but not requiring of any punishment.

  • Dean_0 (Dean-0-F2)penalty — Rear end shunt - plus 1 place for lap 1 — 2 places lost


Server replay time: 0h06m19s

Marco runs wide onto the grass. He does however appear to be back to near racing pace when Badblood, sensing the chance to overtake or not sensing the place to brake, runs into the back of him.

Very hard first race for me. As I'm new to GPL i'm very slow at the starting line so that was my first concern. Did it well but with so many people around got little confused and went off road with no bad consequences. Then gained several positions managed to go 5th and closed the gap between me and the 4th. Then bad thing happened Cheesy Met Paul's right tyre while he was trying to get on track and crashed. My suspencion was broken but not a very big problem. Lost one postiton and started following Natan. After several laps i was back to 5th. Made some good laps and then late braking and crash into the wall. Sorry Natan for being hit by me flying after the crash. Grats to all finished!

Actually it was worse than that. I was trying NOT to get on track and just couldn't stay straight on the grass. Sorry Ivan.

Another interesting and frustrating night.

I made a great start off the line and made up 3 or 4 places, only to see Dean move at right angle to the first right hander and I T-boned him. Happily, neither of us seemed to be harmed and I got away ahead of him. Sadly he got his braking wrong at the end of the back straight and he went into the back of me. He sent me off and I think this caused some interesting lines through the corner. In particular it meant that BadBlood had to change his line through the corner, and as he had no idea I was there, clipped my car and sent me into a spin. I ended up back on the track, facing the wrong way and Dean had no way way to miss me. That sent him off the track... well..if someone had to suffer I can't think of anyone more deserving Mr D :-)

Then on Lap 12, I was passing Dave C over Deer's Leap. The corner has a bit of a kink as you go over the summit which means anyone of the left tends to wander into the right hand side, and that's exactly what Dave did. That left me having to go over the grass to avoid a contact...but also meant controlled braking for the corner was impossible and I span. I checked no-one was coming, rejoined the circuit...and took Ronnie out as he was lapping me. Looking at the race replay it appears you warped at that moment Ronnie, so that was why I didn't know you were there......sorry anyway.

Then Lap 27....Phil, I knew you would get me at Deers Leap, and I didn't want the kink causing me to run into you, so I deliberately stayed right. Whilst I agree it looks like warp took me out, I think it was the kink that brought you over so close to me... no worries anyway.

On Lap 30, I watched Nigel do an epic spin in front of me, which took in both sides of the back straight - still not sure how he missed me. That was all for the race....but there's more.

I knew I'd been lapped during the race, but it was only twice, not the three the race results state. On the race server I am about 50m from the flag when my car disappears. At the time, I passed the flag and slowed down at the side of the road. I don't think it changes anything re the results, so I'm not sure any action is worthwhile, but would be interested to know what happened?

Cheers

Arf

p.s. re sudden popularity of the race. I for one have been away for a month else I'd have been at the previous races.

No problem Arf. On my replay you just appear out of nowhere, so there was not a lot either of us could do. Maybe related to my connection last night but did anyone else have any issues with sound during the latter part of qualifying and the race? Even though I disconnected and rejoined during qualifying the sound of my car was screwed and decidedly monotone regardless of gear or speed.

As for the race, lucky to inherit second when Sam spun early on but unlucky to hand it back when me and Arf simultaneously used our cloaking devices. Great turnout and on a short lap relatively narrow circuit kept it entertaining throughout. Apologies if any lapping moves caused people to lose any time. For certain I made a right pigs ear of a pass on Marco, sorry.

Grats again to Clive and Sam. See you all at the next one I hope.

I didn't notice any sound issues Ronnie.

Warp, yes, I did notice a few instances when the red bars went crazy. Generally the connection seemed OK, proving my long held belief that (as a laptop user using GPL Power Monger) there isn't any disbenefit to using a laptop..... I must admit though, that I'm still jetlagged from holiday, and whilst I did put a cable into the laptop (I usually race on a wired connection), I forgot to put the other end into the router.......

I was little late in joining the server for this race..........decorating duties  Undecided.
But I was not too late to witness Sam stick in a blistering lap with a 1:05!!! Ronnie was not far behind and Dean looked menacing as well as Axel. Geeeez this was going to be a fast race if those times were anything to go by. Especially on this track where there are only about 1.5 passing places.

I did my customary laps on race fuel to get dialled in to the track and managed to temporarily get a place on the 2nd row,.............hmmmm with 15 minutes to go that looked unlikely to survive given the pace of those around me. So, I confess that this time I dumped a couple of galls of fuel in an attempt to improve my qually position.

 It did not work lol!!  Undecided and I made only a marginal improvement.  Undecided

So I decided instead to go back to race fuel and concentrate on maximising my pace for the early laps with cold tyres and a heavy car. I was gobsmacked when I looked at Prib 10 minutes later to see yours truly on pole, but only by a couple of hundredths of a second. "That surely would be beaten in the last few minutes" I thought.
 
But the time stayed there as I nervously watched the last few cars complete qually. Woohoo what a lucky stroke!!  Now all I had to do was nail some fast laps on cold tyres, break the tow to Sam, build a gap between myself and about 6 others who had posted qually times within tenths of what I had fluked. yeah right lol!!! 

With the F2 slipstream and Sam in a super quick Matra what was there to worry about eh??? I nailed the gas off the line and made T1 first hugging the inside line.
T2 was Ok and I got a fast exit and committed as much as I dared on cold tyres to that tricky T3 leading onto the back straight, using all of the track and as much welly as the tyres would take.......but still Sam was within slipstream range.??!!!?? .
If I gave him an opening he would be past like a shot, so I move to the right very early....if he wanted to pass me it would have to be the looong way around the hairpin at the end of the straight.
Somewhere I pulled a few more metres out and by the second lap had just enough lead to be safe from the slipstream...he could close the gap but not enough to attempt a pass  Roll Eyes But the pace was insane!!! I was right on the very edge of what I could control and there were a few moments when sphincter flutter almost got the better of me  Shocked.

Then Sam was gone from 2nd but Ronnie had taken up the challenge, geez I must have wicked somewhere cos I was getting no rest!!! I pressed on concentrating on getting my braking points right for the critical corners and making clean exits....when I say clean, what I really mean is only 2 or 3 wheels on the grass and armfuls of opp lock.!!!

I think Ronnie eventually had a "moment" and I suddenly had a small cushion that allowed me to relax just slightly, which actually produced some better lap times by a few tenths and I was able to ease the gap out.
It was lucky that I had such a large gap with 10 laps to go because that early pace where I maxed out each and every gear change had consumed far more fuel than I had anticipated and I spent those last laps short shifting and coasting into corners, whilst watching the gap back to second and praying that it stayed big enough to allow me to creep home....unlike Edmonton!!!

Grats to Sam and Ronnie and all the finishers. Also thanks to those drivers I had to lap, who allowed me a safe passage as soon as they were able. It is not an easy track to move off line on and I appreciated the fact that they kept a steady line and did not panic. I did not want the added pressure of guessing what a car in front was going to do.  Wink Wink

Looks like Ronnie and myself might have shot ourselves in the foot by scoring too many points too soon............we are both +30 over the next guy................oops!

Thanks for the reminder Ronnie! It is about time to introduce the handicaps. You & Evil will be restricted to the Cooper (or Ferrari or BT14 if you are feeling adventurous). Sam can have either Lotus or either Lola. As there are fewer entrants than expected 4th & 5th places in the table are not handicapped.
No handicaps for the Heavy division - again down to low turnouts.
I hope the slight re-interpretation of the rules is OK for all.
