I would urge all Drivers to download the track even if they already have a Watkins Glen installed. It looks like some muppet admin updated the track download and then forgot to update the server too. Don't leave it until race night to find out you have the old track version installed.

I hope to make this race. Although not much practice I do remember racing on this track before.

Due to a pulled chest muscle no golf last week or next so I'm free to race Monday's.

I was tempted to race last week but decided that Schottenring was too much of a challenge when steering with one hand.

I think I’ll be somewhere near the back so hope I’ll find someone to race with.

Very Nice Track for V8s, had a very close battle with Roguk and Ati till mid race when I lost the grip on the left rear wheel,  I had to pit to change tires and I thought the rest might pit too cz my wheels were gone, but looks like it only happened to me,

Then I joined the race 40 sec behind SpecialKs and when the gap reached 29 sec I lost concentration and hit the wall on the right side of the chicane and blew my tyre, so back to the pits and my race was over !!!

it was a fun race, hope to see u all next week on the track !!!

Have a good week guys !!!

Fun race yesterday. Very close battle with Geoffers and Ati for the pole.
1st place for me... but my start was horrible and Ati and Geoffers past me.
Took me a few laps to get a good pace and soon Ati made a mistake in the chicane and I catched Geoffers.
The next 20 laps a great battle with him. I overtook his only one time... but the ford is too fast in straights and every time he had chance to overtook me. 2 or 3 laps later Geoffers pass me easly and no more chances for me .... so grats Geoofers!!! Great pace!

Grats Bob for the 3rd place.

Matt was very close to me in the first 12 laps. What happened then?

For me, this season the best races (fun and competitive) were the V8s. Hopefully next season we run more races.

Thanks for the results Jose

Good fun for me, lost concentration a bit later in the race and got wobbly in the esses letting Bob through
was almost keeping pace with Jose and Geoffers, but dropped back after the visit to the gravel.
I like these things as well.

Had a good race early on but a mistake at the Bus stop caused me to hit a wall hard and this made my steering wonky. Tried a couple of laps but the car was tricky to control so decided to pit for repairs. This put me right to the back and spent the remainder of the race chasing Bill, who I passed. Also gained some places when Michel and marcfvs pitted. Cars and track looked great. Hope you can all make the final round at Riverside.

Really good!!! 

[Geoffers]

Excellent race, good battle with Jose for the entire race. 

Got a good start from 3rd on the grid & nearly grabbed the lead at T1 but Ati swept around the outside to hold on. On the 3rd lap Ati lost a bit of drive up the hill & I just got ahead before the chicane. We tried to take the chicane together but unfortunately Ati spun  . Soon had Jose troubling me & when I made a mistake through the RHer after the chicane he got ahead. I expected Jose to pull away but it turned out we were evenly matched around the lap although my Ford was slightly faster on the straights.

After 4-5 laps ahead Jose ran a bit wide into the final turn & I got back in front on the S/F straight. Managed to eek out a bit of a gap in the last few laps, mainly due to having slightly the faster car, & held on for the win.

Great drive Jose & thanks to the backmarkers for making room, well done all. 

Good to see we will have more V8s next year. Never used to like these cars, but since I figured out how to set them up & drive them, they have become one of my favourites.
