I will miss this race.
On 23 August, I will be somewhere between Bergamo and Verona.
Hope the pasta will be al dente 

missed it , ruddy windoze update !   

Small grid but very well behaved and quite neat and tidy for the most part.

Had a little brush with Dave as he spun and I ended up 3rd for the majority of the race.

I was losing ground to those in front and pegging the gap to those behind until about 3 from home when I had a stupid spin and turned a podium into 5th.

Found it hard work running alone for the most part but fun none the less.

Grats to all as we all made it to the end.

Cheers for server and replay, Jethro!

Small grid, but a tough crowd!
I struggled in the qually session.   I couldn't get below 1:56 on light fuel,  then on the last lap managed to just dip to high 1:55 with race fuel.
I was slightly dismayed in that first session to see the pace of the others, particularly Phillipe & Bastian who were obviously going to be romping away come the race!


The race was more exciting that I expected.  Managed to make a good start & gain a couple of places initially [I figured it was my only chance] but knew Bastian would be past soon enough.  Then a bit of an unfortunate tangle after clipping some polo at the start of a lap & I was then nearer the back of the [small!] field.

For the rest of the race, Billy & I kept each other company.  Initially, he eased past & was consistently edging away.  About half distance, I was then able to recover lost ground & it was all rather close for the rest of the race.   Luckily for me, I managed to pass along the straight & pop in some good personal laps, although it was all getting closer & closer towards the end.  Very enjoyable - thanks for the workout Billy!

On a technical note, it's early days,  but my recent move from ADSL-> seems to be behaving better. Previously, I was enduring periods of dropouts & I suspect the particularly weak upstream connection was definitely being a problem  [at least one occasion when my wife had plugged in her 'phone to charge & it then synced stuff to icloud, maxing out the upstream...].  So if I was previously flickering/jumping now & again,  hopefully that is over.  Although the actual GPL client bandwidth requirements really do look minimal!

EDIT: unlucky Mike;  I didn't register completely at the time, but yes - from looking back, you otherwise were looking good for a safe 3rd until that point.

Cheers,
Dave.

Mod report is up, well done all!
