UKGTL Season 15 Lotus -v- TVR - Goodwood - Aug 24

Race 2
 
A disaster. I had to answer the door just before the start.

I know what's it's like to be interupted just before or even during a race, Misnoimis. Although GTL comes quite a way down in the list of things important in our family household, I now resort to closing the study door with a sign saying "Racing - not to be disturbed"! Blunt, but it works and the rest of the family get the message. And if I'm on my own and the doorbell or phone goes, tuff!

As regards my effort last night, all I shall say is that I still felt a little jaded having spent a very enjoyable 10 days and 2100 miles on holiday in Scotland. But excellent to see a large grid made up by a wide level of driving skills which can only be a good thing

Admireable tactics Sir

Yep, good advice, I’ll put it on my list of things to check; things to do; things not to do, Becoming a long list. Must have most things covered by now baring equipment and brain failure.  I will not answer the door in future unless I can smell smoke or my smoke alarms going off.
I guess the problem would not have arisen if the track had starting lights or the man with the starting flag had been animated realistically or if I still had the same number of brain cells I had fifty years ago or, lot of if only’s …

I always have the ingame countdown switched on. Doesn't stop me sitting on the grid in neutral then flooring the throttle whilst going nowhere fast
