4th, I had been aiming for 3rd to be frank but then there was Matt, save as the bank of England over the distance of 100 laps not an inch of a tyre on the grass or a yard too late under braking it seemed. And also there was this optimistic plan of only changing the front tyres at stop one and do the next stops for fuel only. Didn't work out of cousrse and after a number of stupid offs and nearly offs I had to change fronts and rears in lap 75 after all. And there were some lapses in concentration which we probably all suffered from. I once tried to brake with the clutch pedal wondering why the car would't slow down when I shot into the fields. And, oh yes there were also the three degrees of racing fear: Ziu, Geoffers and Erling! Luckily I managed Erling to believe my starts are flawless so he politely joined  behind me,Ziu decided to clip the chicane and spin, thank you, and Geoffers had one of his inevitable  "ran a little wide" moments which threw me into first place, a position I am not used to and don't feel comfortable with. Fortunately it soon became clear that both Erling and Geoffers were faster on the lap so I waved them past to fight it out among themselves hoping to be able to cling on to third.......(If it hadn't been for...see beginning of my post)Now that I come to think of it, 4th isn't too bad at all !


Erling, there's no big secret in my starts What I do is: do the rythm of the countdown aloud (as you do in rally stage starts) which makes it easier to nail the "GO" and I always test start a car for the perfect rpm power and minmal wheelspin combo. If you outdrag me next race I know what you've been doing.....lol

Thanks again Tony for a wondeful event and thanks everybody for a great evening and finally hats off for Kurt who after a great qually time wouldn't give up for so many, many laps in his crippled Aston. well done mate

I did have a few grass moments, only one where I spun, I think.... a couple of going wide, but mostly stayed on the grey part.
Changed tyres at stop 2 and 3, on the thought that stop 4 would be a short race to the flag, so did change them at stop 3 to be safe
may not have need to, but I had a good gap behind, and had the time in hand. Stop 4 was 1/2 a tank of fuel, and then take it easy to the end.

Dan, your starts ARE flawless...  Grin

Anyway, thanks for the info.  I always (if I remember) practice starts the car I'm driving, although it's no guaranty I actually find the perfect rpm to use.  Hadn't thought to count the rhythm, and haven't dared to move until I get the 'go' message.  Outdragging you anytime soon seems very unlikely - I'll probably earn a S/G instead (a cunning plan of yours no doubt..  Wink)

With regards to changing only the front tyres, there's no point in doing this, as it takes just as long as changing all 4, if I'm not mistaken.  Tested that a long time ago, but will try to verify it one of the coming days.

Geoffers, I had wear values of 10 on the left front after 22 laps, so sounds like you have MORE wear than me  Shocked   Earlier, I've found the GTO difficult with worn tyres, so for fear of going off, losing more time, I opted to change them.


Does anyone know what this is on my GTO ?   It's the only one of them that has it.  Hadn't noticed it at all in my first test session, but once I spotted it in the second one, it distracted the hell out of me, lol

I told Mabel that she should hide the remotely activated engine failure module UNDER the bonnet........no wonder that it failed to explode the mechanicals when i pressed the "nuke" button on lap 68........stupid woman!!  Roll Eyes

Although, upon consideration, the other 10 modules that Arnold successfully planted on the other cars also failed to operate, but at least they were not noticed.  Undecided

My guess is a bug catcher. Used in races where lots of insects were expected, it helped in keeping the windscreen clear.

Lol guys, thanks for the suggestions  Smiley   I'm convinced it created drag and is the real reason I finished 7 secs behind Geoffers..  whistling

Have done some tests today and can confirm what I stated earlier:  There's no time saved by only changing tyres on one axle during a pit stop.  Tried changing only fronts, only rears, and all 4, and the stop took the same time in each case - ironically, the stop where I changed all 4 was marginally quicker than the other two, possibly because I didn't have to waste time deselecting one axle.

Happy New Year all.

Hi good fun more long races please, now the stupid bit practiced on wrong track and thought had only got to do one pit stop got quite a shock when found running out fuel so quick.

Grats to Geoffers on win

Grats to Podium

Thanks Tony for organizing all races

Happy New Year to all drivers
