IMPORTANT NOTE
So that everyone knows I believe from our testing in June there is a bug in this circuit...
At the start, the start lights will stay on red and not change to green. The clock will however start counting down at the right moment. You will have to look at the clock countdown to check that we can start the parade lap. Don't go too early otherwise you will get a stop and go!!!

I'm sure if you wanted Leuv, you could race tonight - sure would be good to have a few more GT cars. I was only doing 44's last time out and won't be pushing too hard for race, will be in cruising mode. Going to grab some dinner then be on about 6.30pm for some practice.

Me and Pops are doing 1:47 in NGTs now. Very tricky little circuit.

F******g great, PSU packs up on me with 2 minutes of qual left, could have least let me get a lap in to get some points.
What a really frustrating way to end the season, away for the next two on holiday, shame so few there again.
Roll on new PSU tomorrow and GTR2 soon.

Yeah, nice!  NGT pole, 1 fps bug in formation lap, all screwed up start. Thanks to the guys who let me by before start. Had a few offs, was catching Shark and Pops, then a pop-up, still don't know what it was. While I was saying NO BLOODY SHIT, the car allready hit the wall. End of story. Bloody hardware/software. I'm loosing the will to go on trying. Must've made a 100 laps in training for this race. All for nothing.  TT |

Quali was great for me. Then the race started ok but I thought med/med would've been good for 20 odd laps but I think I pushed to hard and kept spinning which was heating my tyres even more and then spinning again. Made an early pitstop and put hard rears on and just kept it steady after that. It was all going so well till my engine blew up  Wasn't overheating or owt. I guess I need to learn the C5R a bit more. On the track Pedro was invisible to me which was a bit strange. Thank god for the car markers  Grats to anyone that finishes  That's damn unlucky TT.....Don't give up the fight though, them sharks need a taming |

Well done to Dan and Rich for the wins. Great move from Dan going round the outside of one of the most tricky 3rd/4th gear right handers to overtake me for the lead and whoosh off into the distance. Great racing. Then had 2 good battles with Pops. One just before the pits and then one towards the end of the race. Both times I had made mistakes to let Pops past me, both times I just caught him with pushing quite hard. The battle at the end was tremendous. Hats off to you Popa, you hung it all together and had enough to keep me behind. I nearly had you in T2 when I was much faster through the corner. I dumped it down a gear to try and get as little wheelspin as possible, but on the slippy stuff on the inside, all the torque of the Mosler I just had to watch as my arse showed my just how fat it was. Had to be tried as I had the run, but didn't pay off. That dodgy 2nd gear right hander with the bump/dip near the end was a nightmare every lap. I spun at least twice there and it was everything just to make it through at any speed let alone fast. Very enjoyable race was 10x more fun than those boring TC-65s.  Sorry for Nick and his dodgy PSU and TT who again hit strange issues on the formation lap (how did you keep going, 1 fps i've never recovered from before?) |

Grats to Dan and Rich and Pops who finally got the better of Shark. You guys were amazing, I was 2secs off race pace and it just blew me away how fast you all were  I had no chance! |

So unlucky TT. I thought you had disco'ed on the formation lap, your car just froze. You were by far and away the quickest NGT Great race Shark,that was amazingly tense stuff. I was really pleased I was reasonably fast and mistake-free under so much pressure. I think you had me though if you'd managed to keep the car under control, bad luck  Hats off to Dan though, amazing pace and a brilliant win  Well done to all who finished, that's a very tough track. |

Or could be some automatic live update, maybe OS or anti virus. Good race, was following JM for about 5 laps until he spun - I knew the Vette struggles in race trim so only matter of time before a spin or I overtake. |

Great move from Dan going round the outside of one of the most tricky 3rd/4th gear right handers to overtake me for the lead and whoosh off into the distance. Great racing Thanks mate. Great race for me, Been playing GTr for over a year now and thats the best ive ever had the car set-up, was just so easy to drive. Good qualify battle between myself ,shark, Pops and TT, ended up 4th in class after some awseome late laps . Decided to just change tyres as the car felt good on a full tank in warm. First 6 or 7 laps were awsome dicing with Pops first then Shark, After that just tried to put in consistant laps and was suprised at the rate in which i left Shark. Well chuffed with the maiden win, bad luck TT and grats to Rich just a shame there wasnt a few more GT's out there . Cheers |
