UKGPL Season 28 (2015) 69 Extra Trophy - Monza - Jun 14

[dave curtis]

Out for a lot of the weekend & back late on Sunday;   so straight into qually without much of a change to learn the track... 
[that's my main excuse & I'm sticking with it].

Had some interesting moments & also some not quite as interesting moments.  More contact than the ideal amount too.
Maybe the tow does make it more interesting if you have it;  even I was able to pull off a couple of overtakes!  Although, it's never that far until the next corner...

<SNIP!>
 that got me a place or two and almost caught Dave C up for a last lap sprint to the finish  . Madly exiting race once again 

Thanks for keeping it interesting at the end Bernie!   It's certainly also tough going at the back of the runners with this group...


Cheers all,
Dave.

Should be less to complain about here, than on Fridays Dave.  There's enough performance difference here between cars, for this handicap system to give we Heavies a chance to mix it.  Very slim chance to win, but the chance of a midfield argument is all I ask.

Only 5 raced last F2 Friday race - same handicap, different cars.  A full grid here means a handicap success, though a win would be nice!

Thanks, guys, but would not talk about bad luck ..
Under pressure I made a big mistake!

Congratulations to Robert great race!

They are not trained to compete for victory.
I always run out of pure passion and fun, no particular ambitions, by training two hours a week if all goes well, a way 50 years to spend two hours with my brother Marco and Roberto Teso, you and the great GPL that I installed on my PC by legendary October 1998 !!

Thank you all

Last Friday Walter was fighting me (T222) with a Lola T260 most of the race! That's enough performance difference between cars!
Most Heavies lack consistency...

My race was frustrating...
Had done some practice before and all seemed settled well,
but fighting for the lead was resulting in the first engine blow, the second was after regaining 4th with a good chance for a podium..

No shame in that Piero, it happens to all of us.

Also you seemed to have a car disadvantage I think. We were racing real close through Ascari, I had just enough room to hold the inside and then braked very late for Parabolica. Thanks for being aware of what I was doing. I relied on the fact you would give room in Ascari, not the best place to pass. With Tim closing in fast I knew I had to try to make a move as soon as possible, and trying to hold on to the lead...

Well done and thank you.
