By race two I felt I could give Bill a race and for a few laps I could and then I outbraked myself (again) and lost ten seconds. He maintained that gap brilliantly but I can definitely feel a bit of a rivalry growing, which I hope he is enjoying as much as I am.


Yes I enjoyed last night much to my surprise by the last race I was full of confidence and was really banging the gears through both up and down the box.  Found in practice that the engine was very robust and it was better to brake too soon and over rev into the corners than over shoot and damage the car.  Yes BadBlood I thought I was destined for last place, as your qualifying time was much quicker than mine.  As I've said before I find that with a clutch pedal I can control my start much better and usually get a flyer, I think I got into the first corner first and after that you were closing up on me constantly until I saw you over shoot the first left hander after that I just drove hard for the whole race trying to let overtakers through with the minimum loss of momentum on my  part.  Set a new PB in the second race but it was still slower than your best race lap. 

The first race I avoided Erling and his collection of casualties and got up to 5th I think but got a tap at the first left hander after a few laps which caused me to spin and lose about 10 secs.  Put my head down and chased Badblood soon caught and pasted him setting a new PB in the short battle we had but was lapped twice by leaders and once by most of the rest of the field.  (Only lapped once by  podium drivers in the second race.)

By the end of the night I think I appreciated your excellent track/car combo Tony - with practice and acquaintance the track was rewarding but extremely tiring.

Look forward to the next event in this Series - think we raced Volvo P1800s in a previous Season and I have a suitable setup if my archive system works.  Next week is an old faithful Spa with Sports Cars - that'll be hairy.

As a retired kamikaze....

I can only apologise for my woeful efforts. At first I couldn't touch the brakes without the car spinning. Finally found a brake balance that meant I could (just about) keep it in a straight line but I did find once or twice that stamping on the clutch is not a very effective way of stopping. Not sure I can bear to watch the replay.

By race two I felt I could give Bill a race and for a few laps I could and then I outbraked myself (again) and lost ten seconds. He maintained that gap brilliantly but I can definitely feel a bit of a rivalry growing, which I hope he is enjoying as much as I am.

Once again, apologies to anyone I pranged. None of it was intentional and I will try and make a better job of staying out of the way next time.


lol Woz-it-U in the white headband??  I had no idea who it was, I just saw a car flash past on my inside when I already thought I had maybe overcooked the last of the late brakers move  Shocked At first I thought it must be one of the aliens coming back after an "off" and showing us all how it should be done!...but quickly noted Wink that perhaps this particular alien was headed for orbit and not the next straight. I don't think you were the only one, I am sure someone had arranged a Kami kaze veterans reunion and people were throwing themselves into the party.  Roll Eyes

Wow enjoyed both races, great track car combo. Grin
Apologies to everyone for all the knocks, nudges and paint scraping in both races. Embarrassed
Race 1 did a stupid 3rd to 1st gear change spun the car into railings, engine didnt like it oil light flashing and car putting out lots of smoke (sorry Erling) then had some good racing with Evert.
Race 2 nudged a car off at hairpin (sorry Erling again) tried to keep up with you but lost control and dropped back, then had some more great dueling with Evert.

Grats to Podiums.

Lol no, I think that kami-honor befalls me Clive wacko    Found it a difficult track, even in solo practice, as it offers few or subtle visual cues as braking points.  In that instance, I was not on my usual approach-line to that corner, and thus missed those subtle cues.  Tried desperately to brake, locked wheels, and before I could release them and try to steer past poor Evert, I had already collected him - and Tony in the process.  Sorry again guys.

Do hope you'll stick with GTL Clive - then even after a disastrous race like that, one can at least look forward to your race report  yes

Quote from: phspok
Good fun both races, managed out drag Erling at least once, I think being used to the
3 - 2- 1- GO helps Grin

Hehe, now that really isn't much of an accomplishment, considering I'm probably the worst starter in the history of GTL  Grin
Very familiar with the 3-2-1 system, just can't for the life of me figure out how to best get off the line.  Maybe I should consider getting me one of them clutch pedals of which Bill speaks...  Smiley

Erling

...and then it was Wiley Coyote showing as the car on a mission behind. He was reeling me in a a fair rate, so I had to push just a little harder because some quick mental maths confirmed that he would catch me before the flag Shocked


LOL, I was doing the exact same math from the opposite end  Grin

Managed to overcook it a few times in the corners - you know, once you smell blood...  Grin

Quickest starts I make, and I am not famous for fast starts either, is with the clutch, put it in
gear then drop the clutch or release it gradually to keep the revs up

I live in two places, and only have a clutch at one PC, this one doesn't have a working clutch
so I just held some revs and selected 1st I had auto clutch for this event, as I found the
downshifts were spinning the car with manual clutch.

That's basically what I do too - your non-clutch method.

I might be hesitating too much at the countdown, but will rather be 0.5 secs slower off the line, than getting a jumpstart stop-n-go  Shocked
