I have come back for one last apology. Also I think I may have touched Ginsters car in the opening laps, Sorry Ginsters.
Any Punishment dished out by the mods will gladly be accepted!! Im testing my wheel now, It just does its own thing, as if it is possesd, anyone have any ideas. Have rebooted pc but no help.
Ok one last apology before I go downstairs and pour myself a stiff whisky!!
Ant :'(

Unlucky lincescom good battle early on although gave me a mighty scare into T1 as your car to me was just sitting in the middle of the track.
My race - excellent result considering I had been so busy that basically had not done more than 10 laps practice so took the Anderstorp setup I had and used that, well pleased with class pole, then seemed to be doing alright in the race, not getting too far away but nice gap.
Obviously though have something to learn about pitting. Thought about filling up completely, but went for a 50-50 race, fuelling and changing tires. This cost me the race as the I just could not make the time up - especially after getting caught up in the biggie.
Guess Adam and Pops both did a stop and go pit, will have to try that next time
Cheers

What a great race that was! Congrats to Adam on a fine drive  Apart from the pit-stop I was about 4-5s behind Adam for the whole race. I couldn't make any impact so I just hung on in there hoping to make up the place on Nick in the pits which I did but I don't think I'll be doing so again  Another Vertigo 1-2-3  |

What a frustrating race event for me!  Recently my pedals were malfunctioning again and I glued the pots again. I thought it would last at least a few weeks but I discovered tonight that it did not help.  I get spikes on the brake pedal or the throttle several times a lap. Sometimes I was even slower than one of the GT2s. So qualifying was nothing to gain for me and I had no mind to race at all but thought I could give it a try. The race started very good. Great action! And when I was 1st I thought: now that is not too bad after all. Unfortunately it would not last long. I lost up to 4 seconds a round because of the pedal problem and they just shoot passed. I have no idea how to make the following races...  Grats to podium nonetheless and thanks for the racing action! This league has excellent drivers!

Yep Lincescom scared the "bejesus" out of me, and I bounced off the static car to go wide and let Pops through .... didn't seem to be any harm done to the car though. Got by / was let by by Pops, and then tried to make up time on Nick.....hardly denting the lead until a few mistakes (tyre related I'm guessing) brought me up behind. Pitted a lap after Nick (before what was left of the GT field came by ....) and clocked a 10.2 pitstop. What a difference to S4 and my M3, no fuel needed, no tyres needed ...... love it. That's what won me the race, although with Nick on mediums all round and fueled to the finish - who knows how it might have turned out. After Pops pitted I was at the front of the pack (and praying I wouldn't cock it up) and thankfully managed to stay there - finishing with a mere 16 litres .....  No close battles as such, but with Nick, Pops and myself running such similar times ..... it was a battle all the way. Loved that race, cheers guys. Thanks to the GT's - no problems with them coming by ..... hopefully I didn't cause you too many headaches round the twisty bits. |

That was tough! - i worked my way up to 13th from 21st, had a few position swaps with gerald and ginsters, but going quite well, and was really happy with the set up. I started on soft fronts, med rears, with a view to go two thrids of the race, then pit and fill up and go out on softs all round. This worked ok untill i pulled out of the pits, and within a minute was hit side on by an M3 - don't know who it was, but that was it after that. back in pits for repairs, and finished 17th :'(. Anyway, not to worry - at least i found a good set up for the RSR @ Silverstone. Good race all |

Sorry for the big contact as well will. Just couldn't avoid you. I have come back for one last apology. Also I think I may have touched Ginsters car in the opening laps, Sorry Ginsters.
Boy was I cursing you as I sat facing the rest of the field steam by, but I'm over it now. Thanks for the apology and as you know you made a mistake no need to take it any further. Just get the bloody wheel fixed so we can clash (not literally) again. At that point my finger was hovering over the escape button, but very glad I didn't quit. It was an absolute blast battling back through the field . Stand out fights with TT, will, eddie and Gerald. Had to work bloody hard to pass which made it great fun. Congrats to the vertigo podium. And thx to GT boys who all behaved well, especially Mark who seemed to catch me at the wrong point everytime. Although got ask wtf was going on in warm-up lap? Going 110 to keep up  |

And whilst everyone is apologising...
Sorry if I caused any problems in qualifying, I had 2 disconnects, I have no idea why but I was very lucky to get back in with enough time to get a decent lap in.
