Thank you, i was looking there but obviously not in the right place.

Maximum of 30 laps.

Hmm, this doesn't look good. Just done a couple of laps offline and I'm using 4.9L plua a lap which seems way too high and means I'll run out in 21 laps or so  This was according to the PD monitor thing. Anyone else getting silly values?

[Simon Gymer]

That can't be right Pete, even in the MC12, Oschersleben is not a long circuit, you can't be using that much. Do a manual calculation instead by looking at what's left in your tank after 1 lap.

[picnic]

Not sure it was a lot different 88 to 67 L in 4 or 5 laps. Hopefully it's just a glitch

Bah

[psuedo]

now we know why I'm changing ISP.......lost connection.....three times in qually then everybody just dissapeared on lap 2 of race.....I continued for a couple of corners but then left.....just incase.

Totally gutted....thats the last two races i've missed coz of the s*** ISP. ...and to top it all i'm going to be offline totally for the next 7 to 10 days whilst moving house etc. so I'll be missing some then too.

Humphhhhhhh. not a happy fellow.

congrats to the podiums...and well done team Pink Pseudo Racing.....good turn out and I'm hoping you enjoyed and got some good racing. (and maybe some team points  )

Tough race for me. The Viper at Oschers is like an elephant in a chinashop .

The qually was really close, top 10 within 2 s.

Immediatly after the start Leuven drove off into the distance, nothing I could try. I had Zacari behind me for the first 15 minutes or something. Really close as I could see all it's drifts behind me. Great driving  .

After that was a time of nothing to do, untill Brian came closer and closer, and in the end he was right up my bumper. I could use the power of the Viper to prevent his nose on the inside before corners.

Grats to Leuven and Welcome Gazza to UKGTR

Wow, that was a good race! After the terror and my own unenjoyment of Enna, it was fantastic getting back to racing normally again. Always enjoyed Oschersleben, it's a great hot lapping track and despite no practice and no setup I was very pleased to get 6th? on the grid. Managed to finish 5th in the end which I think is my best result of the season in GT1 Sprint so I'm really pleased with that. I took my Dubai setup and tweaked it for this track with higher wing, shorter gearing and so forth.

Had TT behind me for the first section of the race whilst I was bedding myself in, the noise of that MC12 was horrible behind me I just couldn't hear myself think. Then thankfully (for me) TT made a mistake and I had a small gap to the next guy behind which I think was FreQ at the time in my evil twin Team Shark Lambo. He harried me like nobody's business but I kept calm and just managed to fend him off before he was overtaken and replaced by Mark in the Viper. Again I managed to hold this car off too by just sticking to my lines and driving normally. I was looking in the mirror far more than looking ahead and I knew this was a bad idea but I also knew it was really difficult to get by without a mistake. Using the slow in fast out technique Mark could never get close enough out of the corners to get a run on me and eventually FreQ repassed him and harried me again. After a while I somehow?!? managed to pull out 2 seconds on FreQ, getting him out of my slipstream was great and I felt much more comfortable to bring it home for 5th behind Brian in the Junior Lambo.

The grid was so close and it was nice feeling competitive again with the head of the pack. I suspect the next track will see me drop back down the order again, but I shall try and make the most of Oschers as one of my favorite tracks. The circuit definately suits the Lambo and MC12 with their great cornering ability I just hope it suits the 360 GTC and TVR too.

Well done Leuven, Jeff and Brian on the podium.

Replay and provisional Results and Standings

I never liked this place in GTR1 and now hate it even more. Give me Enna any day. Stupid thing tho is at Enna I'm 4 or 5 secs off the pace, here I was under 0.7 in qually. But I enjoy Enna more because I am in control (sort of). As usual I suspect I don't have a decent setup, it's quick but it's also random what happens if I'm on the kerbs or hit a bump under power. The car just spits itself one way or the other.

Grrrrrr
