Since when are you a Legend racer Steve?
Due to there only being a couple of Legends still keen/able to race GTL we snagged Steve for that purpose, the avatar would have been done ages ago but Steve had to find a suitable pic of a driver with a proper "porn-tashe"  . |

I've checked the replay, it was Syd Drake, he was racing with his lights on for a decent amount of the race.

Gotta admit, on the first lap I was surprised by how dark it was, and I had the light on in my room, bit hard to see, and I did consider running lights but the fact that it was a daytime race stopped me. Perhaps Syd thought it was dark enough to use lights?

You've got a point. I hardly ever use lights because it slows my pc down so much. |

In that case you can recognise her by her haircut  |

The race was set to start at 6am, so using lights at the beginning wouldn't have been a complete no no due to lower light conditions, although not necessary. I thought the sun rising through the hills was a nice effect to use at this circuit. Watch out for race start times in the upcoming events. I am using a upward spread starting at 6am, so expect to start races rougly 2 hours later than the last one (time of day setting not actual server start time!!!!). |

My replays have stopped working for some reason. Only record first 30 seconds. Is there a server replay for download?

Well, new season, new players, new tracks. Good to be racing with UKGTL again.
Last time I raced a mini I was doing good in practice but come race time and full fuel tanks I was spinning off every so often, usually before apex, so I thought it best to take the Cortina.
Now, there was a time I positively hated the Cortina, thanks to that damn singleplayer cup challenge where you have to use it for maaaany races in a row, and some of them are very hard to beat on Pro. Fortunately, I found Mr Groznis (Is he still racing at all?) Cortina setup for Spa, and found the car to be pretty driveable. Did a few practice laps a couple hours before the race, but should have done a lot more. Not so much in the hopes of improved speed but for improved consistency.
Contrary to his kind words, I felt like Ruskus had the upper hand here. I did my best to hang on to him, and succeded for a while too. But once a couple of lappers slowed him down enough for me to be right on his tail, I, as I so often have done before, got too excited and we all know how that ends, with me spinning off the track. If only I had had my precious Alfa, I'm sure I could have saved it, but alas, the evil Cortina still bears a grudge for all the curses I've put on her over the years.
Was pretty steady at 6-7 second gap for the remainder of the race. I just couldn't stay consistent, and for every good lap there was a bad one.
Hats off to Ruskus, you were fast and cleaner through T1-2 then I, you definitely deserved the win.
Thanks too all who were there, looking forward to great racing in Season 4.
PS.
I see I was using hAMMER by mistake. Next time I'll be Mike Hammer again.
