Congrats to those who kept it together. 

Miserable race for me (never even matched my pb set after 10 laps of practice on Tuesday), but absolutely not for being tapped a couple of times, that's racing, no problem - led to a comedy moment as Madd-RIP waited to let me rejoin while I repeatedly stalled it in reverse, then 1st and so on....   If I could have multi-tasked at that moment I would have typed that you carry on and leave me stalling 

Need to work less (damn that 'earning-a-living'), by the time the race started I was already exhausted and couldn't keep up concentration, so one clean lap was followed by 2-3 laps of out of shape slideyness.  Maybe next time I'll not bother practice or qually so I have enough concentration to last more of the race! 

Slid the back into the wall on lap 16 and must have lost my rear wing, car was oversteering under minimal power.  At that point I had the fastest race lap, was intending to at least try a few more hot laps for fun, but no chance.  Of course, several people went faster towards the end 

Not a good track for a tired head, shame really as it's an interesting track.  Time for bed now.....

bad luck for me ...   

was a few seconds behind Baracus all the race , and lap_down_driver spun me at last corner of 21st lap (cleanly laped few corners earlier) ...     

but ...

This was my first GTL race off or online. Had some good battles early on, especially with Mark McClean, who was driving an identical Vette. He stayed close behind for 4-5 laps with some very fair fighting, even though he was clearly faster.  He got a good exit out of the last turn on lap 9 or so, we went side by side the whole "straight" and he outbraked me into t1. Great fight. Then some weren't so patient , and after getting spun a couple of laps later I fell into last place. Still I kept contact with a couple of cars ahead for the the rest of the race, until the leaders came by to lap us. I have to apologize here to, I think Mgoran. I let him through and then tapped and spun him at the last turn. Really sorry about that, I waited here for all near by cars to go by before continuing. Enjoyable race in a car that was awsome on the straights, and wouldn't turn in the corners. , and I just missed out on a point.

Initially when I loaded the track and had a practice on it I didn't like it very much. After about 8 lps into the race I really started to enjoy the track and 906 combo.  Race was not that successful but totally enjoyed, I love GTL.  No probs Ruskus btw I was trying not to ruin your race as my car felt as if I was driving on ice after 10 laps.

good race for me in the only red vette...nice battle with Mark Jonzo in the 911 for a few laps - shame the coming together put an end to it (no ones fault).
was surprised to see the big block vette do so well at this track, stnasky passed me towards the end like i was standing still.  Respect to Ruskus...whatta fantastic performance! Grats to ASSASSINO.
at least i was the fastest Goodyear runner 
v.good turn out for this race too   which is great to see.

Thanks. Good to see other people in the Vette as well  . That car can be so much fun, shame people often take the safe route and not wonder in adventerous areas

That red Dukes of Hazzard Corvette looked dead tasty around this track, it looked almost real the way it rocked on its springs in the corners.
Kudos to those that drove it, it made for a great battle with my more nimble but under-powered 911

Yeah this track perfectly illustrated the David / Goliath aspect of GTL.
It was really interesting trying to work out a way past the monster - but it's a shame your tyres went of Jeff as it was inevitable that I would get through eventually I guess!

The layout seemed to have just short enough straight bits in between the bends for the 906 to not be able to get down the inside really. Even when I was right on the towbar of the vette coming out of the last hairpin he'd be 1.2 - 1.4 away by the Start/Finish line - so had to make it all back up during the lap then the same thing would happen again!

There were places I could coast through bends a bit quicker but would need all the road to make a run so had to back off thus killing the momentum. As soon as I got passed I started clocking PB's but could never challenge Assassino even after he had a half-spin infront. Another corking race and a track I really started to get into towards the end.
