Another very short lived race.

Apologies to the second of the 2 Abarths I ran around the outside of the approach to the chicane and unfortunately collected you on the second apex.  I tried to give both of you the line through the chicane, so as not to interfere with the race,but failed.  Once more apologies.

What a rubbish race.

Qualification was a disaster, as some exited the pits, messed up T2, and still decided to stay infront of me while I was in my hotlap  .

And during the race I've experienced it all. Getting held up by backmarkers corner after corner, getting punted at the rear, bad rejoins and spinners right infront. Bloody awefull  .
Such a shame my last GTL race had to be like this. And to top it off, the crap c/t detection gave me a s/g while I was still on track, and in the same lap it decided to do it again when I just touched a curb. Great trackchoice, beats me how it got through testing  .

Dont forget to put the reports in JR.

From my view some of the driving standards have slipped backwards again recently so it's time to start implimenting the penalty system a little more frequently and severly.

DQed from the Drunk Field Marshalls

Sorry to ruskus and bara on the last turn, you guys caught up to me at the wrong time, and i couldn't move out of the way till the home straight.

Begging of the race was fun, wild, and stressfull.
People spinning, scraping paint, swirving everywhere, was alot of fun to drive through. My gas pedal is broken so my throttle only goes to about 88%-93% when totally on the ground - So I was losing it heavily on the two long straights I was catching up to others in the twisties real fast - but eventually I Tokyo Drifted in front of Jonzo handing him the spot, and my fight was over after that as I got absolute insane cut track penalties (For sliding off track...)

Was hoping for a good 10thish finish at the start, but I'll have to settle for whatever the DQ gets me.

Sad to see you go Ruskus

How many stop/gos did I get? How many did I deserve?

Last again...but 0 practice so that's what I expected.

Unlucky Jeff, well i only had one C/T warning, with the British tank, not bad.  
Congrats Baracus, amazing pace.  
Well done for second place Steve.  
Some nice scrapps out there, i have to thanks to the Abarth and Elite drivers, for them
clean and fair fight with the heavy MKII.  
For a while we were away from good fights Madd, but tonight it return   very clean driving
of you and very fun. What happened to you? I barely could see in my mirror you spun.
Excellent track/car choice again. THANK YOU  

Cheers

My first GTL race in a long long time so can't grumble with 5th.


The pit exit was causing lots of trouble. It was hard to see what was coming and too often it ended in cars getting in the way of each other.

The race went well enough for me. One big spin but no damage. I was watching the car ahead get sideways and was waiting for the spin, but somehow he never, but I did!

Had a couple of scary moments with backmarkers, one who just missed me after overshooting the hairpin.

It was pretty good fun and I did not get a single cut warning!

Grats to Baracus on another fine performance.

I should never have joined this race - no practice, no set up to start with.
Got a stop and go for jumping the start, then realised i hadn't filled up with fuel.
Pitted in and the whole field lapped me 2 or 3 times.
i then preceded to chase around the filed trying to catch up, but only managed to knock Mike Hammer causing him to lose grip and spin - sorry Mike - totally my fault and sorry for ruining your race.
Then my sister who has just passed her driving test called over to say she had just driven to our house 'all by herself' - causing me to hit the s/f armco head on. Race over.
I like the car and track combo though, but like others have said, some weird cut track warnings at various points around the circuit.

Replay and results in

How come Bara gets the trackrecords, because I quit?

[Alex vV]

I survived the Highland slaughter and all I got was a stop/go penalty 

Got myself a fine race.. had a hard time with all the traffic (all the cars looked the same  ) but if I go in anybody's way please report (also noticed some 'wild' driving..)

Such a shame my last GTL race had to be like this.

too bad.. hope you can make an odd race in the future so we can witness you're drifting techniques...
(Succes met je vlieglessen )

Had a couple of scary moments with backmarkers, one who just missed me after overshooting the hairpin.

That would be me. I braked too late and it was either that or hit you...

[Madd-RIP]

I was watching the car ahead get sideways and was waiting for the spin, but somehow he never, but I did!

That may have been me Brian! 

I love the track, even with iffy cut  track warnings sometimes, and the racing is usually pretty close and BTCC ish (you'll know what I mean!) but always enjoyable, A PB and 4th after not much racing of late (blame GTA 4  ) was a good result for me.

I was looking forward to a race long scrap with my old sparring partner Pribeiro and sure enough he didn't disappoint, fabulous close and fair racing (sorry for the  BTCC love nudge in the hairpin btw  )
but I had a tank slapper getting past  a back marker so that ended that, SBG was another fight later on that was very enjoyable, if short lived due to a minor warp and freeze with his car  .

Grats to Mark, Steve and Pribeiro.

PS I thought you were going to carry on with GTL Jeff?
A shame if that's it as although we may not have seen eye to eye on some occacions, the racing was always hard and fast!

How come Bara gets the trackrecords, because I quit?

He was in GTC but not sure why the TC lap is not up there. We'll get our best man onto it. On a personal level, can I just say its a been a pleasure racing (well we shared the same track  ) you JR. Not a great way to end for sure but I'm sure the good has far outweighed the bad. Good luck to you.

I too was baulked four times by people on their outlap which just isn't good enough. We really must show more concern for others in quali. Its only a small thing, a common courtesy, and we don't really want to have to act in an "official" capacity so please show more consideration for others

Despite that, I really enjoyed the race Great fun with Pseudo, Geoffers and a few others to start with. Then good fight began with Madd, he finally got alongside on main straight and I was thinking of my next move when puter froze. Thought "Gawd damn it" and was just about to hit restart when it suddenly fired up again with me still on main straight Hope no one got caught up in that. Was getting strange things happening with cars around me so had to let some go past but just relieved to finish.

Congrats to Bara, podium and PR who got the most outta the Morse mobile.
