Firstly congrats to Daz on the race wins & the championship, dazzling (get it!) driving.   My races last night were mixed. First one went well with a few laps in the 1.51s, which I hadn't managed before the race, but ultimately not fast enough to stay with Daz. Main problem, which I have found with other cars on this track, was understeer in the faster corners, just could not get the Alfa to turn nicely, which for a car that thrives on oversteer was disappointing. Second race was just rubbish, got ahead of DD at Druids on lap 1 & was eking out a gap but just got a wheel on the grass at Sheene & lost control. Dropped to 5th behind Clive who I repassed a lap later only to lose it again at Clark & finish up in the middle of the track with cars bearing down on me, so hit Esc so as not to cause havoc. Congrats also to Erling for 2nd in the championship. Note to Clive, when following you in race 2, your brake lights were coming on on the straights, may want to check your pedals. |

Clive, look at Dimitars You Tube video and you will see what Geoffers means. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_edPFhFWXwU&t=7134s |

Stage seemed set for a potentially exiting finale to the series. That Daz would win the races & the championship was a given, but with Fulvio only one point behind me, my 3rd place was by no means certain. Threat vanished when he didn't show up, but then there was the question about 2nd. Looking at car options for the various drivers, it didn't look certain that Geoffers would win his classes, so if I could somehow maximise my points, might I be able to challenge for 2nd?
My luck that surprise visitors DD & Hristo picked other classes than the one with my remaining cars - now I 'only' had to beat Matt.. Easier said than done, as he has frequently proved faster than me in U.S. Irons.
Race one was a mad battle with DD & Clive right from the start. Several position swaps - I would blast past on the straights, only to be passed in the corners or curves. Entertaining as it was, it was costing me time, preventing me from trying to put some distance to Matt, looming as a threat in the mirrors the entire race. I finally got ahead of the two little buggars, making it stick for a number of laps, but then the tyres started to go off. Both slipped through at T2, but at least now they got so far ahead that I didn't have to hold back at the end of the straights. Stayed ahead of Matt to scoop up the class win.
Race two was the same situation with Matt. Jumped Clive at the start, but by T2 he reclaimed the position. Next followed an intermezzo with Tony in another Alfa. He slowly inched closer over a number of laps. Contact ensued, but Mustang bulk helped me not lose it completely. Shortly after he slipped through going onto the straight. With Matt close behind, I was reluctant to back off, so kept it floored, poking my nose up the inside at the end of the straight. Made sure there was plenty of room, but Tony still ran wide, off the track, letting both me & Matt past. Apologies if it was my move that scared you off Tony. Rest of the race was a chase by Matt with no room for errors. Geoffer's untimely early exit might have settled the battle for 2nd, but I was unsure about how the points would fall, so still wanted to score as much as possible.
Grats to Daz on all the wins, race & Championship, to other podiums & to Geoffers for 3rd in the championship!
A big thanks to Tony for the organizing & to Kurt for all the results!

Congrats to our champion Daz. Impressive (or even more) times and driving with both cars. So much fun, as always. It was great to have some free time during the week now, so I can drive more here. Race 1 was a Mega David vs Goliath event. We had amazing fun with Coyote and Clive. I was not sure who I am fighting for P3 as they were changing positions and even though I was expecting Erling to be out of tire at the end, I couldn't count him out. I loved how I overtook few times Coyote, pushed so hard to make some gap, just to see him cruise around me at the straight.  And Clive was there, making the battle 3-way and even more epic. It was amazing, so much fun. Race 2 was a little bit boring - Daz just too fast, H was unable to keep the pace as he has just entered the server without any setup and practice. Shame that Geoff spun, it could have been much fun, just like at Oulton Park. See you soon guys and thanks for the great battles. |

Sorry to have missed the last one, I may even have got 9th instead of 10th in the overall championship as Ziu never raced! Really enjoyed the series, thanks Tony and all who took part, and congrats to the top three, especially Daz who was pretty phenomenal in any car when you look at the results. Cheers all.

Thank you all for the kind words. That all went better than I had hoped in all honesty.
I was a little concerned going into this that the Falcon might be a trump card for Erling, sometimes that car just finds pace that the 2 4-pot cars of Alfa and Lotus-Ford just can't quite cope with. I have fruitlessly chased a Falcon around Brands before, although whether that was this version I can't recall. And then Geoff had 2 drives in the Alfa vs my 1, so felt a bit on the back foot as the Alfa is normally just a touch quicker than the Tina.
Found some rhythm in the Alfa in quali to take pole, but I knew Geoff could go better. Thus was totally not surprised when he held on none too far back in the race for the most part of it, before I eventually did pull a bit of a gap to then be comfortable. Pushed hard to get a fastest lap for the extra point, thinking I may need every one. Having watched Dimitars video, the fun was for 3rd, those guys had a great 3 way battle, if you have not watched it yet then go and do so...
Race 2 for the Cortina, and now with DD and then Hristo both in the same, Geoff still with the Alfa. Imagined for a short time that this might be ok, but then DD did a properly good lap in quali that got me flustered, his 1.51.5 being faster than my lap last time we were here. Last lap attempt got me past him for pole thankfully, and then a good start got me away and clear by the end of lap 1. Couldn't quite match the laptime I did in the Alfa, but was good enough to bring home the first place again.
Another cracking BSCC series Tony, fantastic fun, thank you very much for the efforts on this.
