It seems to me that we will soon need all-round care for our ageing drivers 

Can't join through iGOR, as again it says I don't have the track. And can't access through multiplayer with the provided in iGOR IP.

Thanks. I saw that the other server stopped and that was the reason the trouble. All working now.

Haul arse after T7!!!??? I hope I remember.


Oh crap! I had forgotten Europe may not have changed yet. It took me 2 or 3 days to realize we had changed the time. I couldn't understand why two of my clocks were correct and two were wrong. This might be the first time I haven't anticipated the clock change. So the start should be a hour later for me?

That was a busy race! My car was on a knife edge under braking, a fraction too late and I was off. It was manageable on my own but in traffic there was too much going on and I screwed up too many times. I had a great race with Tom, Cookie and Tris. I was catching Tom and Tris with 2 laps top go but I put a wheel on the grass and that was it, a massive spin and any chance of challenging them was gone.

I don't think I was the only one with brake issues. Both Tom and Cookie lost it under braking. I saw them both in my mirrors I managed to dive out of Tom's way but I lost sight of Cookie and despite running as wide as I could we made contact. I could continue without damage so no harm done.

Yes a hard race for me too, starting with a big pain in my back and was mostly busy to avoid any hurting move...

Yeah, Pete sorry for the takeout, those cars have the early new tyre-model of GPL and tend to sudden snap over when temps reach 80°
I promise the SC71 are better!

Grats Yannick and Greg - but don't forget Clive made a 2:12 too in the ChapE
