i was sorry that you quit when you did, as I had given up hope of catching anyone in front and was on the point of waiting for you so that we could do some synchronised grass cutting.
My lack of preparation showed in this race. Normally, I might get and hour or so on a Wed evening to download the track and cars and then do enough laps to learn the track, before jumping on a practice server to test that all is OK.
That did not happen this week and all I managed was to download the track and do about 5 laps in the Fezza, tweak the setup a little to make it more comfortable and return a 1:19 lap on race fuel.
So, when I arrived on the server later than usual last night I was hoping to use the 275.................the server decided that it did not like my 275 and promptly booted me twice!!! So at the 3rd attempt I switched to the Porker , no setup and no practice
and actually no clue either!!
Trundled off the grid in last place and quickly made that position my own by dropping back with each lap. I only passed Phspok when he went after a wayward blade of grass that he had missed in previous excursions.
Everyone else was lapping at least a second faster than me, so I was about to slow and wait when he quit. Now I was last and all alone ...Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
The soft tyres were not even mildly troubled by my lack of pace and even though I did slowly improve my lap times as the race progressed, I was never competitive. The gearing was wrong, the castor angle was causing me probs ( I think) and the brake balance was not what I would have liked. other than that the car was a joy to drive!!
Grats to Federico Clive and Simon, and hard luck Frex who appeared to have 3rd place sewn up !
