UKPnG Season 9 Limited Car Choice Series - Potrero - Mar 13

Great. Tesco delivery man at the door over an hour early. f.f.s. as they say.

Must have been missing a trick anyway, nearly two seconds down on Guiseppe's quali time Superb speed

[Clive Loynes]

Tesco!?  We will have to add that one to the list.

Well, I was just going to say that I think that Matt's handicapping system is wonderful but then I looked at the championship table and saw what tonight's activities had done to me.

I though that I would at least have a couple of runs in the faster option before being nobbled.

Still, a win is a win and as they say it's not how it's how many.  And they are very rare!

Sorry to hear about John's groceries and also sorry to Otto if I caused him to spin at T2.  Off the start I had lost the whereabouts of Geoffers and was leaving room to my left in case he was lurking there.  He does a good lurk!  That caused me to be a bit slower than normal and may have caused Otto to spin rather than hit me.

Other than that, many thanks to Erik for a winning setup.  I put my head down and went for it and didn't make any mistake large enough to cause a problem.

I did have one dodgy moment when I was trying to figure out why I was about to lap Giuseppe when he hit the wall and vanished.

Never heard of it? It's racing driver excuse #254

Grats on the win and welcome to Club Handicap

Results and Replay Posted

Was quite a fun race for me, ended the race trying to keep Postal behind, and just managed it
I took the older 275 and used the green tyres as they seemed to last better, not sure
that was true.

Unfortunate start with Giuseppe spinning doughnuts in the path of the chasing pack 
causing some people damage...

What were you saying about Fede last race

Good pace from Clive to stay out front, not sure why some others dropped, John tried to run the Tesco man down
and failed, havn't looked at the whole replay to see why others left.

huge apologies to Postal and Frex, hope I didn't spoil your race.

No problem from me Bob, it made no difference to my race. I was left at the back of the field with a broken car after the first lap pile-up, and nothing much mattered after that as I was always going to be cruising round at the back. Sorry you dropped out after our contact.

Congrats podium.

[Giuseppe Reali]

Hello guys, I'm very sorry for the mess that I've done last night and I apologize to everyone  
Unfortunately, the car went into a spin and I tried to move and turn around in a hurry to leave but I did not leave enough space for others drivers who came back, so I caused the accident  
Congrats to Clive for exellent win and all driver for finish a race
See you next

... and welcome to Club Handicap 

Wouldn't that be good if it meant all Soggy Bottoms are now restricted to the slower cars

No!
And don't go giving Matt any more ideas.

Had a good race last night. Didn't give me quite the same buzz as other events/cars but did a, ahem, professional job and brought the car home in 5th 

Qualied surprisingly well in a car I am not normally that great in.
Got swamped off the start as per normal  (don't know what im doing wrong compared to the rest of you, considering I use manual clutch and gears) but managed to hold my own and regain a couple of spots under braking for T1/2.

Had a good early battle with Legzy for many laps, often side by side and totally clean, though he clearly had an advantage over me on pure race laptime (soft tyres?..or just better driving or using too much track?  ), but he threw his lead away twice with spins in the third sector. Our close fought battle allowed Animal Ed and Hotkeys to catch us up towards the end of the race, and just like last week, Ed was able to steal my position and keep ahead. Don't know what happened to Stig but he smacked me up the jacksy in the final corner (no harm done) then appeared to drop right back and then shortly quit 
Chased Ed to the final flag and finished a happy 5th 

Was very pleased to see the quick guys take the gorgeous F250, very sporting and improved the grid visually 

Shame the fezzas in P&G don't live up to their real world counterparts aurally, hence me not quite getting the same buzz I might in other cars.

NP, the fault is mine, for me to overtake the fastest cars I slowed down too much as a beginner, you can not slow down in the middle of a schicane, and then I did not even realize it was you....I thought it was giuseppe 
Congrats to Clive and to the podium.
Giuseppe You're a rookie 
See u next
Ciao

Good pace from Clive to stay out front, not sure why some others dropped, John tried to run the Tesco man down and failed, havn't looked at the whole replay to see why others left.

I left because I realised that if I finished 2nd I would be leading the championship & have a slower car for the next race! LOL.  

Unfortunately that wasn't the real reason, was having a great battle with Jarda for 2nd place when I clouted the wall exiting T3. Fortunately the car ended up facing the right way & I carried on in 3rd place.................................... for about 300m & then the engine died!  

Congrats to someone impersonating Clive * who won the race & also to Jarda & Otto.  

* It couldn't have been Clive, this guy was fast.

Ratbag!

Must have been down to Erik's magic setup!
