A slow approach to pit crew chief has proved most reliable. Special Notes: None.

Nappe hasn't posted up the event yet, but it should be Puech Arnal hillclimb for Div 0.5 cars. You may have the course installed as Nappe used it earlier in the year for Div 1 cars.

Just tried the car and track combination here. It is a lot of fun. Maybe the biggest fun in the championship so far too. I hope for a big grid and a lot of battles.

I just gave up as I was considerably slower than everyone else and didn't want to get in the way.

Apologies to Matt, Fulvio & Geoffers for the L1 incident. No other options left than the dreadful Jag. Impossible to drive and just wouldn't stop, even more so on cold tyres.

Ooo, I made a podium.... Grats to Geoffers and Erling, good consistency all season by the looks of it. Drove better tonight than for a little while, which was surprising as I don't really like the 50s stuff too much, never responds too well to my less than gentle touch, and I always run out of tires. Took the Merc, but the Healey in the hands of Dimitar was the class of the field tonight, and there was nothing I could do to stay with him. Was more than happy when the race finished, as a couple of laps on what I had left for tires would have been just terrible, and would have involved spins and offs for sure.... Grats to all.

Another abysmal performance from me again, I seem to have lost the plot in GTL recently. Had the Jag & the AC to chose from & a few practice laps in each confirmed that the AC was far easier to drive. I could not keep the D-type on track for more than a couple of laps, so all credit to Erling for getting to the finish in it. For the second week running I got involved in a first lap incident, but with 49 laps left it was no big deal. However attempting a pass on Kurt a few laps later, I got on the grass & pushed Kurt off track, apologies Kurt. After waiting I was now well behind the rest of the field & it took many laps to finally catch up with Erling & luckily got past when he drifted onto the grass, the same thing happening when I caught Matt. I was now catching Andy but when I ran a bit wide onto the S/F straight I got my 3rd cut track & an SG. After serving it I was now dead last again & after a few more laps was getting a bit bored of circulating on my own at the back & losing concentration. The errors got more frequent & with about 5 laps left I pulled over just before the finish line & waited for the race to finish. Not really the way to win the championship though. Congrats to DD, Daz & Fulvio & congrats to Erling & Daz on the championship podium.

Grats to Geoffers on the championship and to DD & Co on the podium.
No other options than the hopeless Jag, as mentioned earlier. Thankfully my 2nd place in the Championship was secure already. An extremely hypothetical chance of winning it, but that would have required a no-show from Geoff and at least a 2nd place from me, so completely impossible as it was.
Apologies again for the L1 incident. In addition to the difficulty of wrestling the Jag round, I was very much last after waiting for the involved to rejoin ahead. Gained a couple of places when others had problems, but then lost time repeatedly when the car just understeered off track. One by one, the drivers I could potentially have raced, left. Very tempted to do the same, instead of plugging on to be lapped twice, which was frankly ridiculously, but have a stubborn streak and tend to see things through till the end. Not unhappy to see the finish line in this race though..

As i said, this car and track combination was my favorite from the championship. The car's sliding was great for the long corners here and man, it was so much fun. Before the race i didn't wanted to test all of the cars i am allowed to drive with, as i think only the Aston Martin was locked for me, so i open the standings and saw that in the constructor championship Austin Healey is leading, so i decided to go with that car. And after the firs lap i knew that this will be the car for me tonight. Little by little i was able to find the right setting for the car and the big difference was moving to Vintage tires which gave me few more seconds per lap. At the qualy i was able to beat my PB and i was able to start from P1 At the start everything was OK, i was able to stay away from trouble and continue in P1. From now on i knew that Daz and Clive will challenge me and i must stay focused. It was me and Daz now chasing each other after Clive had some problems. And Daz had great consistency and lap time. I was just faster but had to stay focused all the time and give 100% to keep the gap comfortable. At the end i thing the win was clearly because i had the best car, as Daz really made great race with his Mercedes. Congrats to Geoff for the title and to Coyote for the silver medal and Daz for the podium here and the Bronze. Congrats to Fulvio for the podium as well.
