[Wiltshire Tony]

Can I not worry about the setup either  (Ferrari)

[Syd Drake]

No setups for ferrari in the online folder. I just copied the setup from Buenos Aires. It'll have to do. I just changed gears a bit.

As usual, the Healey is great fun around here . Hope that its evenly matched with the Alpine as that would make for an ace fight.

[Mark J]

yet again i've had zero time to do any praccy and will probably only turn up late in qually  :'(
Luckily i know Brands intimately and will have to hope ive got a decent setup ready to go.
Looking forward to the race

Im looking forward to the race too, but again, no real practice session as yet, although i do enjoy this track with some good memories af our last outing here, with Cortina's 
Hopefully see you all on the track tonight..

[Minton]

Qualified really well , was trying to stay with jeff and bara after the start but was making too many mistakes. Ended up broadside in the middle of the start finish straight so esc. Gotta say night races suck bigtime.
Cheers

got disco-ed ... 

I believe Psuedo had something posted on shutting down all unnecessary programs running in the background.
If anybody could point me to the post, I would appreciate it...

Had to quit in the end it was so unsafe driving the Alpine with other cars on the track and I'd already been off a few times and nudged a few people and caused a big pile-up when I spun and SBG drove into my wrong way pointing car, very sorry to all.

It really was impossible to drive close when the cars in front kept changing speed through the corners (which they did all the time). There was I sat behind and nothing I can do but let off throttle or brake or hit guy in front. Letting off throttle was like igniting rocket jets out the side of the back end it was unbelievable how the arse would release it self in the worlds most awful lift off oversteer.

I've done a lot of racing, but I could not find anyway to drive that car safely with other cars around. It was ok on it's own because you didn't have to change corner speed through the corners, but with all the other cars changing their speed so much with power exit oversteer I couldn't drive behind anyone and in the end I got so frustrated with not being able to drive with anyone else that I quit after I had to lift off to avoid a car again followed by the predictable spin.

I think a bad choice on my part to include the Alpine with these other cars as it was totally unsafe due to it's completely different characteristics. It's unclear what the Alpine can race with safely tbh, other than itself.

[Mr.BMW]

Had good feelings going into the race as the Alpine is great to handle through traffic.

Messed myself up after spinning on lap 3 or 4. Rejoined and faught an uphill battle

Kept catching up to ADE for 16th through to 14th, but every time I was catching up I would have to adjust for front runners (some of who were a little impatient through the bendy parts - sorry for holding you up) or I would make some stupid mistake. Do have to agree with Shark, was very intimidating to be in the Alpine, as a slight nudge usually launched me off track, while the Ferrari or Healy just shrugged it off and kept on going.

Had fun overall, the track was quick, and fairly easy to negotiate. Was fairly consistent mid race, but after I mucked up a couple of times I started losing concentration and didn't really help my situation.

Driving with one headlight was fairly tough too.
Good race to Oily for getting us some points!

Not too exciting race for me. Could just hold on to Bara at the beginning but when lapping started I lost him .

At one point I lapped Madd, just to see MJ infront and I totally lost track of where I was so I went onto the grass .
Later there was a huge pileup. I saw lights spinning (lighthouses), dust everywhere, smoke, the whole shebang . Was hard to get by in one piece and I was almost stationary .

No comment from me until I see the replay, but pretty frustrating being much quicker than all the cars around me (darn disco in qually lost me loads of places), constantly overtaking and then through other people's driving losing the places (and my lights) back.  Impossible to see the track at the end with no lights, I almost had my face up against the screen to see.

Gawd that was a spectacular pile up Simon. No worries and I just didn't have enough room to get bye.

Get the badness outta the way. Poor old Madd was stuck on grid, I couldn't avoid him (didn't even see him) and that was me too back of grid with a crooked car again. I appreciate that was prolly an honest mistake but we can't afford to have them on start. Especially as it always seems to be me that clatters into the dozers .

Also rear ended by someone who didn't hesitate to pass me and then did the same move to Tinman in front . I encourage everyone to report everything please, I will be.

Way, way outweighed by goodness . Billiant battles with MJ and Tinman for 1st and 2nd part of race respectively. Its good to see drivers give each other room and do all they can to avoid contact, that was especially true of MJ. Luckily saw him off, I think via Sharks pile up. Then on the receiving end of a fantastic sizing up job by Tinman and he waited until last lap lap to make his move. And bugger me, it was a good one. Congrats

Good stuff all and the back markers were very helpful as well. I wasn't being rude flashing my lights but my "blue flags" weren't working and I presumed that was same for everyone?
