RRE Season 3 (2016) Race Room Historics Series - Sonoma Raceway - Feb 4

[Greg Metcalf]

grabbing pole was a shock for me and with a good start of the race i managed to pull around a 5 sec gap after a few laps whilst battles went on behind me. Every time 2nd place got a bit of clear air they began to catch me but luckily for me they either made mistakes or started battling again with 3rd place. I`m pretty sure this is what gifted me the win here.

Thanks all for a great race and a new home for me to race R3E

Yes, please do this. We want to keep these races clean and fair 

Great race again this evening. First few laps trying to hang onto Greg with Ant at my heels and then later on Eck putting me under pressure which led to me making a mistake and losing 2 places to 4th. Now had Reinhard to chase but could only match pace until the last few laps when I started to close and eventually sneaked past on the last lap to take 2nd

Thanks Matt

I didn't get the replay or note who it was so there's not much I can do here. I was kinda hoping that someone would hold their hands up and say "yeah that was me, got a bit late on the brakes, sorry fella" or words to that effect. Bit disappointing really but worse things 'appen at sea, as my mum used to say (when pushed for specifics, she said "scurvy and soddomy", which didn't make much sense to the 8 year old me)

[frex]

Yeah I saw that incident, happened right in front of me at the hairpin - small tap, but a big shame for you.

Racing otherwise was great though, loads of action, lots of fights. Many thanks all, congrats podium.

Messy start, I don't have the replay with me now, and I only watched the last few laps to check the results
People make contact occasionally, it happens. It is not a hangable offence.
But when you tap someone into a spin, it is our tradition that you will wait for them to get going again and then chase after them
however frustrating it might be waiting for them to dig themselves out of the gravel 

I avoided the T1 mayhem, and then spun myself into a fence after a few laps, then had loadsa fun slowly catching
the battling group up ahead. Good race, but then this track always seems to make for a good race.

Hey Jim

I did bump you, I am sorry for that, we did have a good scrap, I did slow down to wait for you, because it I try overtake clean, Thanx for the race Champ, sorry I didn't apologize earlier

Ant

Yeah, we had a 'coming together' after a good little ding-dong, but like the man said, these things happen, and you were a gent and waited. It's not that bump that got me a bit cranky, it's the one in the last corner
