Hi just had a look at the lap times and they seem quite an even spread around the 1.38 secs so not a huge amount to make up.Thanks to the two dodgem porsche drivers at the tail end with me I went off twice watching your antics and with a bit of help? as well I think.Cheers for now gerald

hmm,had no practice and was eatin me tea through qually but i somehow hit a good time on the last lap of qualifyin.started well and almost got into a rythm but ahd a rush of blood after passin gizmo and had a small slide that i didnt catch fast enough  .
rejoined in about 8 lost a few more places 10 stayed there for the rest of the race till the car started lockin up bad and lost it 2 in 1 lap and reign man was passed,after that it was acase of not letting any1 else passed.
congrates to the winners and thanks to the host's 
must practice more !

Was fighting with Darren and when I got past him along the s/f start I got hit up the rear which sent me sliding off along the grass,back to 4th place.

Sorry for the tap Luke, but in my defence while approaching T1 you were fractionally in front of me (1/2 a bonnet length gap).  Then under heavy braking you drifted across in front of me.  There was nothing I could do.    When did you slide along the grass?  The replay shows you stopped on the curb 

Anyway, if you feel strongly about it, please feel free to submit a report.  I'll happily accept their verdict...

Commiserations about the engine blow..  It was not the way I wanted to win..   But to be fair I was all over you at the time and I would have passed you anyway

congrats to Darren for the win.

Thanks Chunky..  Trust me I'm as surprised as anybody

Great racing Beholder, we had a real scrap in the middle of the race... 

Roll on the Endurance Race.  If there is enough space I'll see you guys in the Academy race..

frustrated  been practising on that track and only that track since spa but I am way off pace, taken the time with set up, each tire's temp is within 1 or 2 degrees right accross the tire. where am i going wrong   :'( any private tutors out there..lol.  Still enjoy the racing tho just want to pick the pace up maybe when I get my g25 wheel for crimbo things will change

Hi Guys did anyone else have fuel useage issues, I had 45mins worth and had to back off as it said 7 laps left at around 10 to go but then I got lapped on the last lap so dont know if it would have run out on the next lap or not. cheers gerald

I never trust the game's own estimates, I always do a dozen or so laps in testing with a totally full tank to get a consumption and race pace baseline and calculate my race fuel from that.
