I have corrected it, but could you check it's OK ? 

Not an easy track.
Turn 1 could be a carnage at the start ...hopefully resets are unlimited  

Straw bales are hard as concrete !

Turn exits and one turn entry too are very tricky !

Good luck  

 

As Pete says:
do not overshoot the brakepoints in the narrower corners - go the other way and get the right point by early braking

Needed a little lot more practice. Too easy too overcook it on the entry to several corners. Managed 20 laps on track but went for on an early exit when I started making mistakes.

No problem, Will, we reset at the same time that's why we rejoined the track together.

Nice track but not easy at all !


 

Dear me...  This race wasn't any more the 10 seconds old when it all turned to shite.

Set a reasonable lap in Q to start P8 directly behind Will.  Off the grid, he faltered and I swung right to clear him to find myself looking at the tail of Andreas' Cooper.  On my right, Phil got a blinder of a start in his McLaren to surge up on the right of Andreas and I'm thinking that this act may have spooked Andreas a bit into backing off way, way early for T1.  The result was that I butt-pounded him a ton and we were both off the road big time.  Upshot of this was falling to dead last.  Sigh...  Sorry for the biff, AG.

Bouncing back from this, I chased Andreas and over several laps, was amazed to see my progress up the order.  To be sure, I saw many a faller in those few laps and if this kept up, I'd be on the podium!  LOL!  By mid-race, there wasn't much between AG and me so P5 was definitely up for grabs.  We had Fulvio some distance back and seemingly, not a factor.  With 10 laps to run, Fulvio had gone from a distant threat to a full-blown challenge as he was now full in my mirrors.  I was the meat in a Cooper sandwich between Andreas and Fulvio.  Starting Lap25, there was barely one second covering the three of us.  I got a swell run up the hill through Valley and went for the pass on the right of Andreas going into Anson.  I had noted for many laps that I seemed to be able to go in there significantly deeper on the brakes than AG so now was my chance.  Andreas let me by and it was up to P4.  WOOHOO!  Gassing it away from Anson, I held a decent margin...defined here as four car-lengths...to finish the lap and dive into Hood.  This corner is crucial to good lap in the Eagle/Weslake.  The V-12 engine has been properly detailed with a narrow power band and not enough torque to pull the skin off a tapioca pudding should you let the R's fall below 7000.  All previous 24 passes through here were according to script but now, to finish Lap25, it all went sour.  Turned in a fraction of a second too late, missed the apex, skated wide onto the grass, had to soft-pedal it to regain the roadway and, of course, both Andreas and Fulvio had scampered by doubtless having a good chuckle at my expense.  Grrr...  Planting the throttle to the floor, I was determined to stay close and retake those positions but within 1000 metres, the engine gave out.  Sigh...  Despite this disappointment and the Lap01 collision, it was a fun race on a truly great circuit.

Sorry to see some notable fallers along the way including Axel and Pete.  Good job by Clive for P2 and Uli for P3.  Fulvio pipped Andreas for P4 in the closing stages.

Honestly, 8 months to build a track, only to stack it on L3 (or was it L2?) Never mind, it was fun, and that is the main reason for building them.

I had a good start in my M2B despite these cars feeling quite sluggish from a standing start. Relieved that there was no pile up into T1, I focused on tricky Valley section before braking hard on cold tyres into Anson. Phew, a good clean drive by everyone around me so I had my foot to the floor for the fast open section of the track. Tyres warming up nicely and I could feel confident as I started lap2. All to no avail, I out-broke myself going into ANson and got stuck in the haybales. Yes, you would have seen me if you were P5 or lower as you ALL came past to take a good look. I waited and waited until the track was clear in Prib but... Oh no! Time up! I got booted back to the pits. I thought that by rocking backwards and forwards in 1st and reverse would have been enough to stop the GPL countdown timer from activating but evidently not. Never mind.

I spent the rest of the race onboard with Will as I watched from his viewpoint. He had a great battle with the two Daves. So, he's gloating that he's 6th in the Championship and I'm ten places behind him. Still, a long way to go in the series which I'm pleased to say is providing everyone with much entertainment. As far as I am aware, nobody suffered a CTD so the track is looking pretty solid. Next time I'll try to stick around for more laps.

Congrats to the Pods with some mightily impressive drives and laptimes. Great to see Clive back after his PC woes.
