UKGTL Season 14 British Saloon Car Cup - Wick Island - Jan 13

[Wiltshire Tony]

I was dithering between the Anglebox or the Gentlemens club before I arrived online. Caught a comment that it was a Ford fest so chose the Club. Soon realised that my times were a bit off compared to Matt's so set about tweaking my setup some more to capture some better cornering power. Big mistake. Something I did upset the car and possibly made it worse. Not to worry I thought, it's early days and I'm bound to score big points in this beasty. Well possibly if everyone else drove as badly as me because I was soon passed after my great start by Kurt and later Roger. Then in my haste to not fall into Bill or Pauls clutches I drove too near my skill threshold and inevitably clouted that jagged wall/barrier at one of the right handers and that grabbed my car and chucked me over the parapet. Tried to drive on to find a track rejoin location but instead drove straight to Nirvana. Still enjoyed watching the rest of the race from the pits. And don't know how Matt achieved those times.
BTW it's worth noting that the Anglia comes in four different flavours e.g. engine power/weight and gearboxes do vary. Don't think we'll see many Jags/Daimlers at the next one

Hi  made a big mistake on first corner not looking nudged another car and went off into the grass left me in last place, after that managed to put in some good lap times and with other drivers making errors finished 2nd. Was going to drive the Daimler faster car but i just could not get the cornering right, for me both cars massive understeer then snap and lose control. Enjoyed the race and see you all next time.

Grats Erling on win.

Thanks Roger.  It was my car you touched in that corner.  Didn't feel it at all in the race, and didn't notice you spin in the mirrors.  Only became aware of it when watching the replay. Hope I didn't inadvertently cause or contribute to the spin, except for being in the wrong place of course.  Well done to claim 2nd after being last.

Cheers,
Erling

Hi Erling     my fault moved across to inside of track without looking.

Great race and great fights in the opening stages 

Then some mistakes and offs. Fortunately I was able to repair
the car in the pits and could finish the race.

Great win Erling - nice to have a new teammate 

CU next week

Enjoyed that one. Was surprised to qual 2nd with all the Dangleboxes, which for me were at least a second faster
than the "Gentlemans CLub"  I have used the Daimler before so I was aware of how it drops one % health
if you take it into the red, so managed that fairly well, but had forgotten how fast the tyres went off
and spun after a while, As said the 1st few laps were a hoot, with Me, Coyote and Kurt trading places
eventually they both got past, and I just concentrated on keeping going. What pace I had was mostly
about drifting the big lump into corners with braking, then a bit of power sliding out of the corners
sometimes I got it right, sometimes I grazed the fences
