UKPnG Season 10 British Historic Cup - Thruxton - Apr 2

[frex]

Apology to Dan for the contact - at the time I thought it was just a bad rejoin on your part, but the replay shows it to be more 50:50 than that. Should have waited for you, sorry.

Congrats podium.

Perhaps I should have realised that no sim racing of any sort for a week, and definitely no practice for this car /track combination after a 4 hour drive home was not likely to yield a good result.
I had only been at home for about an hour before the start and it was obvious that I was at least 4 secs off the pace, when I joined the server.

Hopefully in the 2 laps that I circulated I did not compromise anyone's race before I had a reality check and hit the nuke button. 

Grats to all those who avoided me and scored points by finishing.........  maybe next time...................

Sorry for the late analyser report but we have been away this weekend.

As for the race, a disaster on many fronts.

I qualified on 4th spot and as expected those in front of me made their usual crabby starts.   

The only problem was that I couldn't find a way around Geoffers' Alfa and ended up on the grass, which allowed Simon and Legzy to come past.  Not that Legzy stayed long as the first corner of the complex was his undoing.

When Geoffers binned it and knocked Simon off into the bargain I was second and quite comfortable, thanks to Geoffers help.

I had to fend off a very rapid Frex on one lap but a couple of laps later he did the decent thing and threw himself at the barriers at the chicane.

Then I realised that it wasn't a 26 lap race after all!!  I must start reading the announcements more carefully.

So then my lap times took a hit as I tried to mix driving with mental arithmatic and then transfer this info to XD.

Then I made a complete Horlicks of the intended splas-n-dash.

One to forget really.

Grats to Jonh, Simon and SuperSwift
