NGT Sprint - S3 R8 - Monza - 8th August

[Paddy Cummins]

Ok, I'm there lads. See you on the track in a few mins.

[RS]

Good luck team, ****ing wondws security center popped up and shut me down, I'm off to hospital now to get this PC surgically removed from my foot..... :'(

Not happy is an understatement

[Adam Parle]

What a dumbass, went to garage nice and early .... and selected the Morgan race setup instead of the Mosler .... needless to say I wasn't going to be in contention for anything other than last place and being lapped by everyone.

Gutted.

[Adam Parle]

....and I've lost connection to the game, so can't even watch the rest of the race..... a thoroughly naff evening.

...Apologies to whoever hit my stricken Porker, i didnt know it until i tried to accelerate but my rear wing was gone and i slewed across in front of someone.

[Simon Gymer]

Err, not the place Mark.

Yep that was me hitting your car, if it was the one on the s/f straight, the esc key comes to mind.
Oh well we all make mistakes, I know I do, sorry again Zac, just couldn't slow down enough you when you pulled across after letting shark through.

Apart from that it was an awful race, lol.

[Zacari]

Indeed, I could b!tch about the guy who pitched me into the barriers, but I wont.  Race was mad with a setup that was horrid after a few laps, must have spun 3 or 4 times and ended up in 11th I think.  Overall pretty happy though, took 1.8s off my PB!

First time I've ever got "flashed" in quali tonight  . About the dumbest thing I've seen and I had to wait to last race to see it.

Still, no excuse for terrible quali (and I had practiced for that  ). But thanks all for great race and nice to finish race battling new faces (to me anyways) Jan and BigG  . Don't forget what a long way this league has come and, for that, thanks to Dave, Shark, Picnic and co.

Gutted for Mo   and for the fact those bloody Sharks have done us, I think.

p.s Don, don't forget to report Pops for terrible parking

Wow what a race , qualified 15th and finished 4th , had some great battles through the race .  Made a silly mistake and lost it at the last chicane when lying third and gaining on MarkGP . Sorry who ever it was who hit me as i was sitting in the track , i tried to go onto the grass on the inside but spun the car and ended up sitting in the middle of the track.

Grats to Mark on the win.

Thanks everyone who gave me room to get back to my grid position after making a pigs ear of the pace lap  .

Cheers

[Paddy Cummins]

Oh well. Not a good race from me. I picked the Vertigo as it was easy to drive and hoped to have a clean race. But boy was it slow! Qualifying went ok but I was really slow and don't think I could have gone potentially better than a 1:59 overall in that car.

The start of the race was ok. A spin on the formation lap didn't harm anything as I thankfully kept it out of the wall. Back on track and I tried to make up a place on Edza into turn 1. I managed to give him a slight push but no harm done although I didn't make up a place. I did make up a few positions then as other drivers ran into trouble but something big was in store for me. I was coming into Lesmo 1 and ran a little wide. I was going quite fast and running on the outside of the track. Just then, I noticed a slow Porsche (Edza) and contact seemed inevitable. And boy Jaysus was it big! Both myself and Edza needed to pit and I felt really bad about what happened, sorry mate. It wasn't done on purpose, I just should have concentrated more and I take absolute full blame for the incident. After the pits, I let Edza pass me out, which was the least I could do. I just trundled on home then trying to not mess up anyone elses day, which I don't think I did.

Happy to finish as always although I'm expecting more than a slap on the wrist from the race officials.

Thanks Dave and Shark and whoever else was involved in moderating and running the races here. It's been fun, albeit my late entry to the series.

[Grinsomat]

what a ending for this season/game !

thx to UKGTR staff for hosting and administrating ! you are a good bunch of guys !!!!!

I had such a good race ! ok I spun it 2 times on my own cause of beeing silly and overoptimistic with worn out tires ! But I am glad qualifying 3rd and finishing 5th !
I had some nice battles don`t know with who all of you ! But I really enjoyed it !

thx to all of you ! I enjoyed this season a lot !

cya all again in GTR2 !

[picnic]

Well done everybody on another excellent series of NGT racing, especially CeeJay, Ruskus and Shark on the provisional podium and to GTN, RS and Sharks on the team points.

Fairly uneventful race for me, crap qual left me in a lowly 25th place  Wow we finally got more than 24 turn up to a GTR event to show off the new server's grunt GTR gave me a few blue flag warnings as it seems to with larger fields, no way was I being lapped on L3 without even spinning 

From there 1 true pass on Rob, I think it was, and 12 other places gained by others falling off. Mind you I gave a couple back in return at one point 

Here's to some fun races before GTR2 is born

I'm so happy to be back after 5 weeks. That "pause" made me slow during qually, 14th place and probably my worst qually ever.

In the formation lap I gained a pos due to a disco from RS. I know how that feels, so I'll remove that PC for ya, for free

The race was awesome, eventhough there were some moments (Rich_A and TT you've got a pm from me).
I had battle the whole race long. Forming a train with Grinsomat, TT, me and Minton for some laps.
I was surprised to end in 2nd place. Mostly due to drivererrors upfront as I didn't really make any overtaking manouvres. Might be better, as I was a bit rusty tonight.
Grats to MarkGP.

I'll be a video about this race, a sort of tribute to UKGTR, so if you know any good things about this race, SHOUT IT OUT, and I'll put it in the video.
