UKPnG Season 9 Knock Out Sports Car Cup - Albi - Oct 9

[Mark J]

What a dull yawn Athon that was    I'm struggling to see the point in giving up an evening cruising round an empty soul-less track with nobody to race lately 

Got clouted by Stig having his own accident on lap 1 which put me 10 secs down by lap 2 and then after dispatching the two fezzas I didn't see another car until lap 19 when the fast Italians lapped me. I was so bored I wanted to quit by lap 10.
So many good tracks in the world and we use this dull place.

As always, putting a wheel up the kerb is not a problem, putting 4 wheels up or over the kerb is.

How about three and one just touching the moss between the curb and the white line?   

Only kidding!   

Great race with frex tonight but as these races get more and more difficult the field will shrink.

I got bored of spinning into corners so left, I don't like this version of the track, we had a good race here once
but I didn't enjoy it with these cars at all. Several earfuls of moans suggests that others didn't like it either.
Ah well, I might use the old one for a GT race sometime.

At least we have got rid of the Pantera!

I was slightly quicker in it than in the Elan but it didn't feel like a car that I could keep on the black bit for 26 laps.

I was tripping over the Team7 Panteras on lap one, one of which didn't do the second chicane at all, and as a result frex was able to jump me at the end of the straight.  I then spent the rest of the race, until about five or six laps from the end, trying to regain my 4th spot, or first human as I like to think of it.   

I think that my tyres lasted longer than frex's and as a result I was able to regain 4th spot without too much drama and then found that I was closing on Giuseppe.  I think that his Pantera must have been wounded as I was only about five seconds away by the finish.  If it had been a 30 lap race I might have made the podium!    Well I can dream can't I?

[frex]

Nipped past Clive at the end of the back straight on the first lap, then spent the next 20 trying to keep ahead, until I just missed my braking by a small amount at that same corner and went slightly wide. That's all Clive needed to get through but to be fair he was significantly quicker than me in the latter stages of the race, so no complaints. Good fun, and congrats podium.

..or first human as I like to think of it.   

Indeed..

[frex]

Oh yes, and shame about the low turnout, but maybe the England game (and other Internationals) was a factor. Hopefully better numbers next week.

[Clive Loynes]

Being behind Giuseppe at a distance of around 10-15 seconds for most of the race, it was as if someone had lit a smoky bonfire at each corner.

Sorry, gents, but I could have made this round but all the negative press about the circuit's gimmicky chicanes put me off.  If it didn't have those ala the GPL version, I would have been there no question.  Sorry, again...
