Moderator's Report

Server replay time: 0h00m35s

Lap 4 and Clive Loynes in his Gordini has, once again, caught Fran and his Ferrari. Given the much greater power of the Ferrari it is difficult for Clive to find a passing opportunity and he has to work hard with the little Gordini.
At Aremberg Clive is close behind and gets a better exit from the corner at the top of the hill and begins to close on Fran.
I have watched the replay from the inside of both cars and from overhead to discover why Clive would run into the rear of Fran, on what is effectively a flat out section, where I would expect the Ferrari to pull away.
Fran slows his car for the first slight left hander, perhaps more accurately he stops accelerating at around 85kph. There are no cars ahead of him and he appears to be complete control. Clive on the other hand has buried the gas pedal and is winding up the Gordini to max velocity and finds himself suddenly faced with the rear of a slow Ferrari.
Clive is unable to avoid Fran and the collision occurs. Clive waits for Fran at the bottom of the Hill in a gentlemanly fashion for Fran to reset and regain the place.
In Fran's defence I checked the previous lap and he slowed for the same corner. Normally we would advise drivers to monitor where the car in front is slower, but with a circuit like Nurby that is a little unreasonable.
I suspect that there are not many drivers who would lift for this slight curve, but I cannot penalise Fran for being cautious.
Therefore it is a warning for Clive, but only because he was the car behind and was therefore responsible for making a clean pass. In this case I doubt that anyone would have anticipated the car in front to slow at this corner.

I've loaded the chassis the drivers used into the token calculator spreadsheet.  For the next race the available tokens will be as declared in the table below (the table will also appear in the next race announcement).  The calculated values are automated but selecting the cars is a manual process so please check your tokens to make sure I haven't made a silly error.  There was no token overspend for this round so no one is disqualified.

Available Tokens:
Note: These are the tokens available to each driver before the 10 tokens are added for making the race start.

I notice several people are not happy with the lack of brakes in this mod but I was very pleased with my race. Maybe I should work on the braking in the other mods, it appears to be my weakness. I seem to do better in the 55s compared with the other mods.

To my surprise I managed to finish just over a minute under the hour. I got a great start, probably because I could see the flag man from my right hand grid position. I settled in quickly and after exchanging places with Tris I managed to slowly reel in Martin. At times I thought I would catch him but Martin drove very well and had the measure of me. In fact he allowed me to get very close on the run in to the line but I'm sure he was just pacing himself and had plenty in hand.

I really like this mod, it requires a different approach. More measured and reserved. Patience is rewarded.

Although i missed it, my business trip brought me to the ring.
I avoided doing a fastlap, having a time schedule with the coustumer and the wrong car with me.
