Congratulations to Philippe on his win with full command of the lead from start to finish. I tried to keep up and I guess he remained in sight for maybe the first half dozen laps but he was steadily pulling away and building a comfortable lead. Much to my dismay somewhere about the half way point Pribluda showed him 15-16 seconds ahead and then the lead suddenly dropped to maybe 8 seconds. Not sure what happened there but he quickly recovered and resumed building his lead to eventually take the chequered flag with his 15 second lead recovered and intact. It will take more than a Cooper motor to keep up with that Lotus powerhouse.

Aside from Philippe steadily motoring away into the distance I was certain roguk and Jani were going to overtake me. They were closing the gap on me for many laps and I don't know how I managed to hang on for 2nd place.  Sheer luck was on my side.

I've seen the race report and everybody's lap times and firmly believe I would have finished much, much further back if it were not for my extreme good bit of luck in being spared from getting caught up in the lap 1 incident at turn 2. Looking at best lap times for the race I clocked in at 6th - not so good.

Frame rate drops were huge especially at turn 1 for nearly every lap as well as a few other spots around the course. I ran some laps with Cookie, EvilClive and Dave Rainier on Monday and experienced zero warping, stuttering or heavy frame rates so I was quite surprised when our race got underway. Turn 1 was a bear to navigate, I had to go extra slow with the stuttering and low frame rates, at times I saw frame rates as low as 30, not only at turn 1 but elsewhere too. I guess I should have searched about for a light version of the track.

Rick, I agree with you about the Cooper. I used it last season, and I was only fast on the twisty tracks. Most people wait until they win the championship, and then they handicap themselves with the Cooper. Personally, I used the Cooper last season because I want to do one season in each car. (So after this season, I might be driving the BT7, Tongue ). It is a challenge that proved to be too difficult for me, but it can be done. Robert Fleurke won the 65 works champ with a Cooper last season.

On a separate note, Nice video Jani! It made me wish that I had used the Fog setting at Brands. Those battles looked like fun. I am kicking myself for losing so much time on lap one now.

I should have asked the following question prior to starting the season in the Cooper. Does the rule statement "Free Chassis choice" mean we are free to choose a chassis with the understanding that we will use the same chassis for every event for the entirety of the series or does it mean that we can choose any chassis for any event?

As far as I know, we have free choice for every race. (any chassis at any race)

 Hopefully someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

In the Amateurs division there is a free car choice for every race Wink  In the Professionals division one has to stick with one car choice throughout the season.

BTW Welcome Rick, and well done at Brands Wink Grats to Philippe for his win, Rick and Jani for podium! Smiley
