Grats on the race victory, Sam! Terrific job by Tim to emerge...by all of two points over Sam...as our inaugural 1955 mod Champ. You're right up there with Fangio now. Dean... Poo happens. The '55's ARE difficult to judge. Phil... Strange off for you on Lap09 as you tried to out-brake me into Stowe. Like your Lancia just veered off to the left. Seems a near carbon-copy of this on Lap23 but this time collecting my Merc. Not altogether apparent from the cockpit or chase view but my TV1 cam indicates pretty clearly that the red car moves over on me. Three cars...including poor Clive...on their lids. My only real regret is that the time lost including a S&G for a reset, cost me P5 to Bastian in the championship tables. There were nine reset Shift-R's in this event including one pour moi. The 'offs' by just about everyone are too numerous to count. I endeavoured to keep it on the road as much as possible with consistency the goal and managed no less than 10 consecutive laps in the 1m48s bracket. There needs to be a quantum shift in how people approach these 1955 mod races. I think people need to rein in their enthusiasm and hopefully, next season, these 1955 mod events will be with PRO DAMAGE where you'll pay the price for over-driving. That's as it should be, imo. To that end, I refer you to this thread over at the ADC that I put up a couple of months back. It was inspired by some events that looked like they belonged in the script of Death Race 2000... http://forums.speedgeezers.net/index.php?showtopic=39796Ah, yes, and before I forget. Tris... Your manners in qualifying here were appalling. Interfering with another member's efforts on a hot lap is subject to penalty. Wise up! Being a Frenchman is no excuse!

It was a horror race all in all. I had some minor contacts in the first lap but came around quite well. But i was in red zone with the brakes and the engine all the time. the first incident was hitting the spinning tim and my steering was much to the left so i had to s/r. I didn't realize i could not get to an fast stop with my car off the line (red brakes)so i stood there around in the apex of stowe and need to let pass everyone for my first s/r... The second s/r due to an engine failure Several offs in club due to red brakes including avoid uli after his s/r. Last but not least the Phil incident, who rejoined off the race line but i couldn't stick to the race line so much because brakes were red and i overbreaked instinctively when seeing Phil which made it of course worse with the 55er cars. Oh mann...

Well if this wasn't racing then I don't know what it was:- Phil and Fran were giving each other so much room that I was able to drive down the middle and pass them both! Phil and I were side by side in Stowe but I managed Club on my own, sort of! I wouldn't say that it was settled until I had seen off Phil's attempt at the outside of Woodcote, which he followed up, I think, with a tank slapper into Copse! Great racing Phil.

Great snapshot Clive . And hearty congrats to our inaugural '55 champ Tim! Well deserved mate, as you were the man to beat at most circuits. I was fortunate to see arch rival Tim & Clive go off at Stowe corner early on. While it was a shame not to battle on track, I was too preoccupied trying to catch Uli for the lead. We had a great battle almost all race, cut short by his engine going pop. A pity it ended that way but hope to keep battling next season Uli . Towards the end I was wondering if I could sneak into winning the championship with Tim in 4th place. But Clive's incident late on promoted Tim to 3rd, giving him the points to hold on the crown. Well played. I for one really enjoyed racing with this mod. I agree, in terms of racing it is difficult, but keeping the machines on the road is another, to my mind enjoyable, challenge altogether. It also appears that though people can extract incredible performance over one lap, doing so over a race distance isn't really sustainable and consequently evens the field somewhat. Bumps and scrapes are inevitable with this mod, but yes, people do need to be more careful, especially in the braking zones. Most of my passes this season were completed getting better exits out of corners, rather than passing people under braking. Cheers guys, until next time.

I was hoping that you would accept your guilt, Tris. Seems not. OK. Now you're looking at paperwork.
Evidently, much too much to ask of you to 'wise up'.

Having started from the pit lane, it would be rather nice if the results could be adjusted to show my actual 6th place finish, instead of GPL's version that ignores my first lap..

I am behind with my moderating Clive, and this race is one of those that is still outstanding. Apologies for making you suffer the injustice of the automated result for so long......it will be corrected soon.
