UKGPL Season 31 (2017) Amateurs Trophy (65) - Stardust - Feb 7

[Turkey Machine]

Replay is up on UKGPL3 FTP.

[Billy Nobrakes]

Competition is going to be really tough in this division. Looking at the fastest lap times there is an overlap between the top half of the Ams & the bottom half of the Pro's.
Have not raced here in the 65's before so difficult to know what a benchmark time is. I though 1,45 wouldn't be so bad but found about 3 seconds a lap in the race.
Bad luck to;
DC - hope you get the connection sorted.
Fabio - having some issues with the right foot braking. Your speed on a single lap is nearly there.
Fran - really enjoyed our battle. Guessed you had some sort of problem.  Also getting interesting with Rog on the last few laps.

Really enjoyed the race in a new chassis and much more fun to drive than the Lotus.

Nice circuit and had a good chase with Rog for the middle part but his early braking caught me out a couple of times, the second time Dave gave me a little kiss as I got going again. Not going to report as I had no ill effects, up to you if you do Dave.

Made a nice pass on Dave after his stop into turn 2 when he was boxed in behind Rog who I knew would brake earlier than me.

Once I finally got past Rog into some clean air it was just a case of pegging Dave behind with no chance of catching the leading 2.

Looking forward to Rouen.

At least one time also you have soffered my problem.Great smoke from my tires on the straight

No I will not report this one.
I had not yet look at the replay but I think it is just a racing incident (maybe hard moderator could consider you made a bad rejoin on track, but moderators of this serie are not severe )

Billy is right, there are drivers in this serie who could easily race with the Pros.
Gareth is one of them and probably he will have to use Cooper, BT7 or Honda in Rouen.
 

[Walter Conn]

Good opening round! At one point in the race, I found my self in the lead with four cars in striking distance. I feel lucky to finish second with faster and more consistent drivers behind me. Gareth overtook me into turn 2. Miner and David R. were able to pull alongside me on the back straight. I was barely able to keep my position both times. I am sure that they would have had more opportunities had they not had bad luck during the race.

I was sorry to see Dave C. have connection problem. Thank you to our hosts / moderators for setting up the Ams. I think that I drove a little harder because I was near the front.

Congrats to my team mate Gareth for pole, FL, and the win!

Had some good racing, thanks Mike for being patient behind me, tires went off last part of race which led to several offs.
Sorry Francesco if my fault, mods will sort it. Have not watched replay yet (how do you get to UKGPL3 ftp or do you have to register at sendspace to get replay)?

Grats to Gareth on win

Grats to Podium

For me not a good start of season.At the first curve UK65 sends me into a spin,after this my brake came into operation without touching the pedal.One time Billy have avoided me but the second was fatal and my car have entered a spin in curve.Finally Bastian threw  me out at 3 laps of the end.The only fun was the battle with Billy but invalidated by the brake problem.

I threw you out ? Open your eyes, only one time. Or stop racing.

[bagrupp]

My Race Fun ended when Fabio Locarno didn't let himself lap and we colided.

I Could stick back to Rainier with a lot anger in me, but you took that corner much slower than i expected.(or i take it usually)
I'm sorry about that.

[Rainier]

My Race Fun ended when Fabio Locarno didn't let himself lap and we colided.

I have to say Fabio was not very helpful with the leaders.
He doesn't allow Walter to overtake him easily and without risk.
It was good for me, as I could fill the gap with Walter at this moment.

Please Fabio, let the leaders easily pass when they are coming to lap you.


 

[Rainier]

PLEASE REPORT INCIDENTS ASAP.

Extreme limit will be on Friday 17/02.
Moderation should be posted before next race in Rouen.

Always the same.You try always overlap that are sure incident,anyway i don't want to start another discussion with you.The result is my car out and your no.So,probably,was wizzard on the track and not your car.
Instead to say me to stop racing,why you don't join the profesional?In this way we have solved the problem.
