Might come along tonight. I will wait and see how busy it is since I'm only a reserve for this series.
The only thing that might stop me is I'm nightshift so need to leave 9.40pm latest. I recall you saying Dave that the warm up would probably removed once you were happy your ballast program worked. Any more confident yet?

I guess so - times above amended but I can't ensure that the race will end at or before 21:40 as there's a short delay between sessions which tends to push the schedule out a little, and of course the last lap might start moments before the clock ticks down to zero.

I think he was hoping for the race to start 5 minutes earlier Dave, not to have it switched to qual.

I know, but with one session less the race should start closer to the scheduled time, which should mean it finishes at about 21:38. I'm not going to change the start time this late in the day for a race tonight. The start of Practice 1 is already 5 minutes earlier than events in Season 5 and experience suggests that if we bring it ahead any more, some full timers will not be ready in time to join and will end up losing their spots to reserves, which is a bone of contention at the moment with the fairly healthy grids we're enjoying.

OK, although you wouldn't need to bring the start of practice 1 back at all, just keep qual at 20 minutes as we have had for the first 2 races. I doubt we would lose any drivers from the grid by doing this, in fact, can you join a race as late as the warmup? If not then it would make no difference at all except to start the race a full 5 minutes earlier.

Can we make 100% sure the server announcements are correct tonight? They've been wrong a couple of times recently and it can be really off-putting! Hopefully I'll be around for this, assuming there's room.

I've assumed GTR2 Manager, I know we ran a test race with the wrong ones but I wasn't aware of a proper event being wrong. Perhaps I' just forgetful

Mysterious engine explosion here Temparatues were in the 80's so dunno what caused it! I had a couple of spins so the engine went to idle a couple of times but that shouldnt damage it?! I had my gear ratios set very close to get 6th into play (but with a high 1st for the hairpins) so perhaps this stressed the engine top much?? Any thoughts coz I dont want that to happen again - was having fun!!

Well that just takes the biscuit, taken out from someone who was absolutely nowhere near a pass and made the car virtually undriveable, ffs I'm getting sick of writing reports.

Had to fight hard to gain a few places in qually and ended up 4th in class. First few laps I was following 2 Fezza's and was impossible for em to gain on them, so I was in a gap. Bara then went off and I gained his place. Then got into another gap between Zacari (infront) and Simon (behind). But in the last 5 laps or so I was right behind TT, at about 0,5s. Was great fun following him around, but was unable to try anything. Finished 4th in class, which si pretty good, as the Mosler is no good here, especially with +40kg. Another good thing about 4th is -10kg for the next race . Grats Mark on the GT2 win and BACKO in the GTC win.
