Endurance Championship - Season 2, Round 10, Monza - Apr 30

[Nick Phillips]

No problem Don when you tapped me in the first turn, and sorry to Mark for "going across your bows"!

Although I have not really been competitive hope to do this more going forward and therefore will practice a lot more - hope I have not got in anyone's way too much.

Don't know why people say GTR is not good for league racing when you look at this setup - great work guys! Certainly as good as the Nascar leagues I run, and without the bull on the forums afterwards as well - long may that continue!!

Cheers
Nick

[Don]

Thanks Nick, Sorry about that I guess I was being too aggressive
God that was a race full incidents!

Love the New manufacturer's symbol's in the league table Looks cool.
It'd be great to do a Lemans race at some point
Just seen TT Pip 3rd in the NGT Championship! What a run from halfway into the season That deserves a power AWKKK! Woohoo

A bit later Popa and Don managed to bump into eachother and I came through.   I'm not sure, Popa, did I bump you from the rear then? I couldn's see from the replay and in race I didn't feel a thing. I have nothing against you reporting to moderator to look it over. It was a crucial point in race - I think I was leading from that point onward. Well then it was just a bloody sweaty work for half a race as I tried to keep Popa behind. He got me before every corner, I was looking more into the mirror than to the front, bloody hell!!!!   Really felt the tyres going to the end, started smoking on braking, careful, careful...   To the end I was loosing hope - only the politeness of THE Popabawa saved me as if you made a move we would either crash or you would win. Very fair, Popa, probably too fair!  :thumbup1

I'll have to look at the replay to see what happened when you, me and Don went into the chicane, I'd had to slow right down for a backmarker, I'm not sure if there was contact but I was forced to go wide on to the gravel which was when you and Don overtook me.

There were a couple of times right towards the end when I could have tried an overtaking move but after 70 mins of racing there was no way I could have been confident in making it clean (my tyres weren't in the best of shape either!) so I did back off a couple of times in the last few laps. Better that than taking us both off I reckon If the championship had been at stake it might have been different though...

Sharkie nipping it on the line!

[popabawa]

Well, as you can clearly see, I'm crossing the finishing line while Shark's way over to the right and off the track and therefore should be disqualified

Thanks, man. Glad you noticed.  And I'm glad for meself, too.

... and relegate Shark down the final championship standing. I see the crowds left when I did  .

From experience, the Lemans race should be a beauty. If you there is a good Laguna, I'd go for that and Spa is still good as well.

[popabawa]

I'll put my vote in for Laguna too, Watkins Glen would be good fun as well.

Happy to run anything though really as long as we get a bit of notice for practice as I haven't driven many of the add-on tracks.

[Mark J]

Cant believe i dropped from 3rd to 5th (joint 4th) in the championship in the last race 

Truetom ya bugger!...you stole my 3rd place

That was my worst performance/result for a while :'( I had no time for practise all weekend and turned up 'cold'. Still, got a PB in qualy and i had good race pace from the off and would have worried the one stoppers up front if not for the big off with SBG into the worlds biggest gravel trap. It just cost me too much time in the end and i lost all chance of battling Don after my long pitstop..again   I need to adopt a different approach to the stops, i ended the race with 29 bloody litres still on board...D'oh.

I hope we can either make it a compulsory stop and/or make the race that extra 10mins? longer to make you have to stop, for season 3 enduro. I know it adds an extra strategy element with some attempting a no stop, but it does make those who fight an entire race with other drivers feel robbed at the end.

As for add on tracks, i'd like Laguna, Le Mans, Monaco, Watkins Glen and maybe Silverstone or Imola as options, they would all add a great factor into the season. Dont want it getting 'same-ol'same ol' for circuits.

Thanks, I've been meaning to split them out for ages but between the UKGTL ladder and Shark pestering me (and supplying some started logos) I finally got it done.

2 hour races it is then.

We did Silverstone in the TPG World Tour as well...I thought it was a pretty good track, no bugs and the fps was good.

ROFL!
LMAO!

I knew as soon as I saw that picture you'd say that. LOL. Good picture Don.

Have to say when we crossed the line I didn't know who'd got 3rd, until i checked my LCD display. For some reason I'd even forgotten to rev the engine all the way into the red so quite a big slip stream enabled me to do that.

[Simon Gymer]

Thanks for the track ideas, i'll go away and work it all out now.
