UKPnG Season 8 Grand Touring Championship - Rouen - Nov 28

[Mark J]

No problem Nils, I could tell it was an involuntary move! Just shame it was me that caught the result   didn't do any damage.
Racing was nice and clean all round last night, a pleasure to see  

Woohoo, just realised I finished 4th in the championship despite missing a couple of rounds, pretty damn happy with that 

[Burtoner]

was working late again

That's some field!

[Mogget]

So, what was the problem with the Mustang? I would have raced this last night, but I quickly lost interest when one or two guys indicated that there were problems with it.

Some couldn't join or were kicked out of the game, because of some unknown relation to the mustang. I rather had the mustang than the capri, would've been more fun to drive.
Start was a bit laggy and started slow to avoid any incidents. Was still getting to grips with the online feel of the Capri and made some mistakes, but other than that good fun. Had a nice tussle with Bob, Johnny X and Mark for a couple of laps and then needed all of my concentration to stay ahead of Mark. Thanks for the fun guys.

[Clive Loynes]

Well done to John and our Soggy Team.  

Glad you enjoyed it Erik and many thanks for all of your help.  You were top Capri too!

We might need your help next week too as we have to reverse a small Kerbie advantage.

Not sure what happened to John last night.  I saw him on the grass at T1 but then he vanished.

Ivan did us proud again as well.

Wohoo Well done team Two champs down, three (?) to go for a clean sweep.

Glad you could join us, Erik. Was hoping to have a race with you in the Capri, but it wasn't to be.

FFB cut out on the start line, not the best way to end the season

[Geoffers]

I take it you guys have (yet) another new driver! 

[Mark J]

Is there anyone SBRC or WSL haven't recruited?!
After seeing both Jester and JX drive well and cleanly I thought I might offer them a job with the Legends, only to yet again find they had both been already signed up 
You lot are becoming the modern day Team Shark !! No wonder your winning the champs when 80% of the drivers are in your team

I also wanted to run with the Mustang........unfortunately some of us couldn't join with the server when there was a Mustang inside. Even when they were able to enter (thanks to your patience), if someone get back in with the Stang they were forced out of the server....... None of this problem in our practice server has occourred...very strange.....

For the race, a near pefect lap granting me the pole..... Good start, a couple of laps to regain the feel with the RSR (i trained with the Boss), and so trying to mantain the gap with Reali behind of me....good race!

See u next week! 

[Mogget]

There aren't that many drivers in the WSL team, Mark!

[Wiltshire Tony]

Has this Mustang joining issue occured before?

There is a thread at Nogrip where bugs can be filed. I'll post there, about this, later.

You've got to get up very early in the morning to beat Clive

Sorry about your legends Mark but the increased interest that Team7 were showing in our races has meant that SBRC has had to raise its game if we are to compete in the future.  Ivan looked a promising prospect when he appeared back in July and has come on in leaps and bounds over the last couple of races so that we now have two drivers who can take the battle to Italy.  

Erik, a friend from the MARA League, finds our races a bit too long as a rule but has been busy in the back-room, supplying us with setups for a couple of months now and it was great to have him make an appearance for us.  Shame he didn't take the Zakspeed but expect no mercy next week as we have to claw back a few points in the last race of the P8BHC season!

We try to support all of our drivers and help them to move up the pecking order, not just the ones who usually bag the team points because you never know when disaster is going to strike.

See you at Goodwood.  

EDIT:  Think I shall have to cancel all shore leave until the championships are won!

[Mark J]

Bah no worries Moggs and Clive, I'm just lamenting being pretty much a privateer these days with no team mates driving p&g and no one to share set ups with etc :'(
Would be helpful if you big teams didn't snap up every single new driver that shows up on these shores though!
It would be healthy to have more teams on the grid to add to the competitive spice 

As a team of one I feel quite pleased to finish 5th in the team championship too 

[Bob]

I too had practiced long and hard with the Mustang to find it not allowed due to the problem  people had joining the server.  Took the Escort on a whim and it only lasted 5 laps then  missed a gear and blew it to bits. Noticed a couple of comments about sharing set ups, as one of the less  talented drivers all set ups  would be gratefully received.
