UKGTR Season 7 Upper Endurance (GT1/C) - Anderstorp (GP) - Apr 20

[Mike Wrightson]

Hmm, game locked up with 4 mins of praccy left.  Couldn't get back in time.

[Kerr]

Not amused in the slightest.

Struggled to fit a clean qualifying lap in with all the GTC cars on track. Had a few good laps and was happy with my time to get pole.

I was worried about my connection after last Sunday night but the connection was fine during the endurance event yesterday.

On the warm up lap I was looking back and Backo was weaving his car. I turned around again and he was mid spin. I hope it was nothing to do with me and my connection?

My car felt ok apart from the brakes could have been a bit hotter. Braking for the second corner was not what it should be.

Managed to ease out a little gap over the first few laps.

Suddenly all went quiet and I knew what was coming. "Connection lost".

That's two sundays on the trot and not far off the same time either.

Makes it worse when you are having a good race in a strong position.

[Joss]

I shouldn't have joined this one. No practise and my setup making know-how is going backwards. Car was rubbish all practise and qually, started 2nd last of the GT1's and then promptly binned it on lap 1.
Dangerous re-join, got in the way of some GTC's, the lot.

Send me some incident reports. I can't feel much worse.

Bad luck to Brian on the lost connection, you don't deserve that. Sorry to any GTC's I got in the way of, and gd luck to those that are fighting for the lead. Looks like we'll have a new winner

[psuedo]

Well that was absolutely   for me  

Done loads of praccy...car felt dead good all day 1:31:5 in the Vertigo was with full fuel etc.

Damn thing just would not stay on track tonight....it must have got icy or something between my practice and race time

getting to be a regular occurance this....seem to be wasting alot of my time practicing for diddly squat.

grats winners and podiums......see you all when the pubs shut

I can't understand why you car feels that much different. If anything mine usually feels better. Rather odd.

[BACKO]

No way!!!,again my engine fired!!! ::)I had cool and very close race first 18 laps ,then my engine blow.
 

[sooty1977]

Did not do so well quala 10th in class with a time no were near my pb from offline praccy
Then did my normal thing on the 1st bend and put the limiter on instead of changing up a gear thats twice i have done that now 
So that cost me two places then blamo 2 laps later and i smash right into the side of a pug which looked to be going of the track but the inflatable kerbs bounced it right back into my path,then i spent the nxt couple of min trying to get out out of sand trap
Was going to carry on but took some nasty damage and was about to be lapped buy the leading gtc cars after only 5 laps so instead of causing everyone a headace i quit.

Don't worry mate ,this time was my bloody mistake

I seem to suffer from the same problem i was doing low 31s after i was on the server earlier then back to crappen on it

[spanner]

OK i've had the odd problem, mainly with my pc but nothing like tonite. Halfway through practise it just quits to desktop, bizarre.

I was partly struggling as it was the first race using my new DFP and it feels a bit different.

I'd like to know about the random weather generator, in terms of how it sets the track grip level. During praccy/ qual the track temp said 19-20 deg but i had no grip, i couldnt even get softs on the front into the green!

Managed to avoid the carnage around on the first few laps and was shadowing Munkez again but slowly dropping back and the leaders started coming through. As Dave was passing me out of the first turn my machine froze then my TFT monitor suddenly says 'no input' and powers down. A reboot and all is well again. Very strange.

A quick 15min offline race and suddenly i can turn-in again I think i've dropped about 20-30 fps compared to normal, is this track quite heavy on fps? maybe its the wheel?

Bit of my story as well, didn't have much time for practise, so I knew it would be a race from behind. When I was closing in behind you, you ran a bit wide due to cold brakes I guess and then it all went real quick resulting in a sort of public bump

[ginsters sponsored]

Not sure if its me case of manflu or that car/track combo but that was as much fun as clap.

The way Simon wizzed past me like I was in Vertigo on 1st lap left me gloomy. A pistsop that was clean but lost me 16 secs to Hol and the difficulty of passing GTC (not anyones fault just due to track) left me in despair. Last week had a ball got discoed. No such luck this week

Congrats to our Paul and Gymer gents.

I had the same in qually less than 20fps in places - almost undriveable.

Things went much better in the race and the car was more easy to drive - lots more fps. I made up lots of places due to others' misfortune - offs and discos.

Finally apologies to LeeB for the Touring Car overtake just as we were starting to have a good scrap! I got my nose inside into the second of the banked 180 turns only to see two gt1 cars arriving at speed also side by side. I think the unintentional nudge I gave you ended your race - apologies again.

Fun race again for me.

I messed up about 3 drivers laps in the opening stages of qualy, sorry about that. Other than that it was a rather enjoyable evening. I had Dave pressuring me right from the start and it was not long before i fell off the track. I pushed hard to keep up with the other GT1's and managed to get SBG in the pits. A few GTc's lost time because of my lame overtaking skills, sorry about that as well.

Nice result for me, mainly because of retirements i think. But like any Ferrari fan i will take a victory any way I can get it
