I'm afraid i missed this guys - had some issues at my end with pc, so had to quit at start.
I thought more would have turned up for this, but i think Dave's idea of making it a scoring event for the ladder is a good one.
Grats to all who ran tonight.

nightmare race for me. I got down to 2:44-5 in race trim and felt good... but car didn't feel under me at the start, and let Tom Cooper through so I didn't get pressured into a mistake. But sure enough, pushing to keep up made me make a mistake in Eau Rouge... a very big one!! (I wish the cockpit in GTL would stay at the bottom of the screen when a car rolls!!

Car felt a bit bad after that, and I was 2 secs off my pace. Decided to stick with my pit strategy, but really got sick of the handling and came in around lap 14. Came in just in front of Tom in the pits. Pulled into my box, and I couldn't figure out why the clipboard wasn't showing. So after lots of accelerating and reversing I decided to go out again and try the next lap. Sure enough the next lap I lined it up properly in my pitbox and did a stop. Fixing damage aswell, I sat there like a lemon until it had completed now down to last! Came out of the pits and at the first 2 corners I dumped it into the barriers like a bonehead taking off the front splitter (or so I thought) For the first time my car was oversteery... exactly what I had been trying to do to it setup wise!! Bit of a handful though and did get away from me a couple of times. Fuel light came on.... I had yet again looked at the capacity and not the laps fuel put in....so back to the pits I went to put a proper fuel load in and NOT fixing any damage this time.

I was catching 11th place by about 5 secs a lap... and it looked like I was gonna catch them, but constant mistakes from me meant I was gonna get nowhere near! Overall.... hugely depressing race, I just can't get the hang on GTL really, i'm sure I could do endurance in Rfactor and stay more consistent than this. I was pooped after this, huge pain at the base of my neck and my arse always aches from sitting for so long. At least I didn't get a bad braking heal like I usually get in long races.

Bring on more races (i'm a sucker for punishment!)

Had a nice race, got to know the track more the race went on. Was well pleased with my fastest lap 2-39-3 Grin But Radius had me well beaten. Sorry for spin Radius. I had a double downshift moment Sad And sorry to Bill for getting lapping pass wrong Sad
Nice racing all Smiley

Only minor bump I remember from a 906 was at the last chicane.  I'd picked up earlier I was going to be lapped and I kept to right under braking  and stayed right, this made the right hand portion quiet sharp meaning I was slower than normal through right hand part of chicane.  The 906 did not go down inside as I expected but was, I think, waiting until after chicane and my slowing down to take last part of chicane caught him out!!

I had a good race.  Early on and towards the end, I had quiet a few laps in close company with Clarey, he was faster than me but his lack of recent competion meant he had a few overshoots and other woopsies.  Nice to have someone to race with!!

That was me,Bill - and it was my fault entirely. It's such a rare occurrence for me to overtake anybody that I made a bollocks of it. Sorry!!

It was good to race with you bill, first 5 laps or so were fun until i went off backwards and saw my rear spoiler detaching in my rear view mirror.  Had a long spell trying to catch up afterwards.

Great defensive driving meant it was hard to pass in a faster car, could only really do it safely by carrying more speed through eau rouge and passing on the straight, great fun.  I'm looking forward to more "wooden spoon" challenges in the future Grin

I am pleased to say i could have gone on for a lot longer, no physical effects for me (i've made some adjustments to my cockpit during my house move) just mental strength needs work Undecided

Might make the elise cup on tuesday.

My mental stength is there (Red Bull isn't a banned substance is it? oh no, it's okay, I make the rules Wink laugh angel) but after the race last night my left shoulder and part o my neck are really stiff. Undecided

Hopefully I'll be alright in time for the Comet race tonight.

I let per Gassne drive in my place tonight. So while racing, think of me relaxing with a nice lager sleep1

Thanks for that.  However the results show the true picture.  Once you'd settled down and done some racing laps, you put in a fastest race lap over 3.5 sec faster than my qualifying time.  I think I will retain the race for the wooden spoon with whoever makes the biggest whoopsie or cocks up the amount of fuel on board (initially, underestimating consumption or refuelling).  You will obviously qualify ahead of me and I won't see you again.

Bill

PS I only race GTL - trying to recapture my long lost youth when I lusted after the Lotus Cortina, have seen Jim Clark three wheeling corners at Brands.

Really sorry to have missed this one, I didn't get back home until about 10 past 9, will there be anymore Sunday GTL races like this one?
Really could have done with the points...........especially after Dave took my point away from me in
Mondello for my heroic Healy lap  Tongue but early exit from race!!!
