UKGPL Season 30 (2016) Privateers Trophy (67) - Laguna Seca - Sep 11

[Philippe Girard]

Jani, I'm really sorry for the spin. All my apologizes.
In the first round, I was second behind David, but I am also a spin and I restart 4th.
Difficult track to overtake an opponent, and yet all my apologizes for this contact, there was a great battle between us.
I think I am not driving crazy, I did not purpose...
I think that with my brabham, I was more speed than you, but I cannot overtake you, not possible on this track !

No hard feelings Philippe. Yet again I was too tired to reset the car after the collision, so I rather retired. Congrats on your victory and to podium finishers! Thanks for the race!

Yes,is true.I was able to do an overtake on Nilsson on the first curve,the only site possible.I don't know haw much collaboration have gived me Nilsson but the overtake was succesful.Despite all the misadventures i have found this race fun,could be more fun if i was able to finish but was not possible.

[Ronnie Nilsson]

Fran, I knew you were faster, so I left the door open, but you took it well.

[francesco]

Thank you Ronnie

[Rainier]

Sorry again Philippe and Dave for the incidents between us.
Hopefully, it was without any bad consequences as you finished 1st and 3rd.

Congrats Philippe for a well deserved win.
Maybe I was quicker on a single lap (see my pole and my fastest lap) but you were more consistent than me during the race.

I took the pole and was leading during 2 laps (as I can remember) but I had a too big pressure and made several mistakes : for example, I did a lap in 1'37"" (should be lap 18) when I went out of the track on 1st turn.

Congratulation due here.  Fine job for the win, Phil!  Great job to score a P4, Ronnie! 

[bernie]

Decided I would give the Coop a run out , not had much practice of late so decided to "go easy" for the race on this tricky track , after a few laps found myself in P4 and even P3 for a while due to others misfortunes , however it wasnt to last , I did my qually on race fuel then found the car getting more & more  twitchy as the fuel load dropped and with the fast boys catching up again I began seeing the red mist and pressing too hard on the gas and the brakes , or both gas and brakes , running off track a few times thus helping those playing catch up to " catch up "
all in all glad to come home 5th behind Ronnie who did a great job in the BRM
Bit sick to find out later I had slowed and moved over for a blue flag situation  one of the cars I let through was on the same lap , ( DC running in stealth mode ) doubt i could have held you off for many laps though  Dave as you were pedaling much quicker me .
Sorry to hear of Mikes error at the start , Pretty sure you could have raced to the finish and got a dispensation from the mods ? I understood all track misdameaners where turned off for this series ?

Grats to the Podium and all finishers .

Not sure I will be around for the next as a Trip over to Holland is on the cards .

 

[bagrupp]

Another race missed. Grats to the survivors.
