UKPnG Season 9 Limited Car Choice Series - Nürburgring - Jul 3

[goldtop]

Sorry to hear about various problems last night. Hope normal service resumes soon.

Third on the grid but took the outside line at T1 and ran around the inside of T2 and T3 to emerge in front of both Federico and Giuseppe for the lead. Was able to keep a small gap on the first lap until we hit the long straight where I was passed to end the lap in 3rd. Some very enjoyable racing and chasing ensued as we swapped positions throughout the race. Eventually my DFGT became unclamped and I had to slow to perform some running repairs  

Congrats to our fast Italian gentlemen.....great racing     And well done all finishers

During practice, I felt more comfortable in the smaller GTA 1600 and just wanted to finish this monstrous track… started last (16th) finished 8th without any drama except some door handle battles in the first 2 corners. The start went really well and together with frex (who also started from the back) we could gain a lot of places

It amazed me that the smaller engined cars (1300 and 1600) could keep up with the bigger engined cars so relatively well. The car felt good and apart from some stuttering in the first few corners, I had no connection problems what so ever.

Congrats to the winners and also to all finishers, see you next time

It seems that I got disco in moment when game loaded race session. Session loaded but without me on list and, after 10-15 seconds I got disco message.
Shame because I adore this track ...

Anyway, congrats to podium, all finishers and Clive on championship. 

btw it is nice to see two digit number of participants

As they say "It isn't over 'til the fat lady sings!".  Or Matt in this case.

We are only half way through, at a rough guess, and after this who knows what might come in the next round.

Well!  I quite enjoyed that.  Always...mostly...fun to do the Ring.

Mark: I was still a little unsure as to what configuration was to be used for our race but on joining the server, I watched others qualifying and it soon became apparent where I should be going.  It proved to be NP. 

Grats to Federico, Giuseppe and Goldtop for the podium placings!  Well done, gys!

Sorry to learn that there were some early disco's.  In my replay cap, in watching Evil, the replay gets to a certain point where he's about to drop off the old Nordschliefe and enter the new part when suddenly, I get a CTD.  Something corrupt with the file evidently.  Will the server replay cap be posted?

I gradually came to grips with the circuit and my Alfa and was looking to close down on Phspok on the last lap...too far ahead but thought I throw a scare into him  ...but I bungled the Mutkurve complex and shunted the little darlin'.  Recoverd to keep ahead of SS and hold P7 for the balance of the lap.  Four laps seemed to just fly by!  Let's do an enduro!

Replay and results Posted
cough.. last night.

Good race I thought, this version is a tad easier than others which meant less people ending their race up a tree.  
Had  a good battle with Bill G and a couple of others.  I bent the car on Lap3 so did the last lap with wobbly steering
and a wayward car, great fun though, Was well pleased to finish, as I usually get up to a decent pace then bin it

Well - in my opinion this was the best car / track combo this year so far.
Ok - I live 50km from the Nordschleife and know it well from uncountable
visits since the mid-eighties as a spectator only (unfortunately), but this
makes it a lot easier for me to master this beloved track.

Made a last-minute switch from the 1750 to the 2000. Had a bad start
as usual and could barely avoid the collision in turn 4. Then 2 1/2 laps
without any problems climbing to 8th position. In lap 3 I made two mistakes -
one of them damaged the car and I had to manage to see the finish with a
very bad handling loosing some places again.

But it was a very challenging race with lots of fun.

Thanks for organizing to all involved!
