Moderator's Report

Server replay time: 0h02m50s

Lap 1 Masta
Clive Loynes and Lorenzo Galluzzi lose control in the middle of Masta almost like it was synchronized. Lorenzo ends up stuck in the fence, but he wasn't touched by another car at any point. He reset but did not perform a SnG. Everybody else behind was caught in Clive's accident, his car ending up partially on the track. So everybody else is entitled to a no-fault S+R.


Server replay time: 0h08m08s

Lap 2 La Source
Mike Beattie gets along side Robert Burton as they're braking for the last turn, but R. Burton moves over and a side-by-side contact is made spinning them both out of control.


Server replay time: 0h08m08s

After the previous incident R. Burton resets, but doesn't stop in the pits.


Server replay time: 0h32m36s

Lap 9 Blanchimont
C. Bull get along side Hristo Itchov. As they arrive at Blanchimont, Hristo brakes much later and takes a normal racing line essentially cutting into Chris's path and causing them to collide.


Server replay time: 0h32m36s

After the previous incident Hristo need a S+R, but doesn't stop in the pits before the end of the race.

Syd

It says Spa (1947-48) is this a non Papy track and if so can you post a link to where I can download it?

I was just looking at my profile, and this will be my 100th race, including GTL. So how about letting me win  Grin.

Grats Syd - you drove a good race.

Personally, I've had enough of it. The last couple of seasons in Div2 have been alot of fun with plenty of gentlemanly driving. But, whether it is being moaned at for getting in the way of someone's super-hot qualifying lap, or getting nerfed off the track by people who drive as if I have no right to be there, it isn't fun anymore.

Grats Syd, a hundredth race and sealed with a win. Grin Well done to Lorenzo for a good recovery and Chris for third position.

I`ve had another dreadful Spa race which at first looked good but then was unlucky to be colateral victim in the Masta accident on lap 1 and it went downwards from there. It looked as though I went through it but the horizont went awry all of a sudden.
There was an interesting four way battle on lap two with Mike, Lorenzo and Burton, but I messed Malmedy and spun. Didn`t quit just yet and tried to salvage at least some points. Caught up with Mike and we had a nice battle and what looked promising for a race long battle ended abruptly by Mike spinning suddenly in Blanchimont and I had bundles of speed that I didn`t know what to do with. Did a poor evasive manouvre and flipped against the banking. That looked like a good moment to call it a day.

Well that went as well as could be expected Grin.  Started at the back of the grid and took it steady as I was expecting a pile up at L’Eau Rouge which thankfully didn’t happen.  I played safe and kept a safe distance without loosing the chance of a slipstreaming opportunity.  Bernie was in front as we exited Les Combes for the first time, my car advantage showed and I passed Bernie on the inside at Burnenville.  I closed in on Derek through Malmedy, no crashes yet, looking good.  Gained a little more on the approach to Masta and I was getting ready to have a go on the way down to Stavelot when wreckage appeared from nowhere.  Managed to avoid Amir’s Honda but just clipped the nose of Clive’s Lotus and I was sent spinning down the track.  I’d almost come to a fairly save stop when I was torpedoed by Bernie’s 2 wheeled Lotus and I was catapulted over the fence in the field.  I didn’t think there was a way out of there so I had to take a shift R (no fault).  Got going again but with my concentration in tatters I went off at La Carriere and L’Eau Rouge before I settled down and chased after Tim.  Didn’t have to wait long, Tim made a mistake at Malmedy and I was through.  Bernie was my next target and I started to reel him in and he gifted me a place when he crashed out at Les Combes on lap 4.  Burt was my next target and I tried to chase him down to return the complement after our battle in the Clubmans 2 days earlier.  I wasn’t making much impression but then unbelievably Burt made a mistake at Blanchimont and I was through.  With Mike and Clive pulling away ahead I had to try to consolidate my place but I always loose my concentration without a target to aim at.  Sure enough I spin at Les Combes on lap 6 and my big cushion back to Bernie is severely dented.  Concentrate, concentrate I tell myself but I still manage to make another stupid unforced error at Malmedy on lap 8 and I end up straddling the hedgerow.  Need a shift R.  Now Bernie is dangerously close, prib is showing I only have a 5 second advantage.  Pull into the pits at the end of lap 8 for a stop and go.  See Bernie in my mirrors, select neutral and nearly blow the heads off the Brabham.  By now Bernie is whistling through L’Eau Rouge, I calm down select first and head off in pursuit.  Last lap, leader just finishing the race behind me so nothing to loose.  I give it my best shot trying to catch Bernie and get within a couple of car lengths at La Source but I’m too late, Bernie crosses the line ahead.

Despite having one of the fastest cars I needed a tow to stay with the pack and the first lap crash meant I had no chance.  Still having worked my way back up to 6th at one point I managed to throw a place away thanks to my customary lack of concentration Sad.

Congrats to Syd on a win and a centenary milestone.  Here’s to the next 100 Smiley.

Well, after the fuel disaster on sunday this one felt good. I thought I had the pole in the bag, but I guess Hristo found somebody to draft right at the end of practice and stole it away. At the start I got off the grid well and was first by the time we reached Eau Rouge. Then right after Masta on lap 1 I saw the green flag, and I'm thinking, aha everyone has crashed in the Big One, and now I have a solid advantage. Sure enough I throw it away at the very next corner, Stavelot, going wide, and barely managing not to crash the car. Hristo and Chris got by. I knew I had good top speed, so I was careful and patient, and overtook Chris on the straight after La Carriere. Then I quickly caught up with Hristo. Closed up a few time, but didn't want to cause an accident, and backed off. In the end I got him at the same place as Chris. For the next lap Hristo was hounding me, closing right up on my tail for every turn with any serious braking. But then he made a mistake somewhere, and I was left alone, with Chris over 10 seconds back in 2nd. Now it was a matter of keeping my concentration up. And I still tried to throw it away. On lap 6, on the entrance to Masta, I tried to cut too much on the left, clipped the hill, which threw me into the railing. Luckily this is 66 cars. With 67 I think I would have lost it and crashed. But here I slammed on the brakes, and somehow slowed the car down without losing control before it hit the house on the exit. After that I took masta very carefully on every remaining lap. There were no more hairy moments for the rest of the race and I won for the first time in a while.
Congrats to Lorenzo and Chris too, for their podium finishes.
Derek, don't give up.
That's what moderation is for, to review races and punish those that don't adhere to gentlemanly driving standards.
But it does seem like a good time to remind everyone that you don't win the race on the first lap. This is now 2 races, and two big accidents on the opening lap. Remember also that any penalty for first lap incidents caries an extra place.

The last couple of seasons in Div2 have been a lot of fun with plenty of gentlemanly driving.
The gentlemen have ambled over to the Clubmans to partake in some very clean but exciting racing.  It's the only place left where you don't need to keep your eyes glued to the mirrors looking for aliens laugh  We need more new starters to warrant running another Div2 next season.

Race was a complete disaster, I just couldn't get the fezza driving in a straight line, tried playing around with setups without any joy, so retired before I spoilt anyone elses race Sad

I decided to watch Hristo, Bully & Lorenzo having a great fight, until Hristo and Bully tangled at the end. Good to see a fellow clubmans racer taking the fight to those aliens  Cool

Derek , thats just about how I felt last season , and at the start of S15 , it seemed as if every time I got the car out onto the track , someone was waiting to ruin my day .

On one particular race day I had inherited 2nd place from others misdemeaners , only to get punted up the backside again.

There aint nothing worse than having to wait for the whole field to pass through before a  re set is possible .

Makes you think "why bother"  all the effort and practise for nought but keep at it mate,  I'm sure you will get your share of good fortune in the end .
