UKGTL Season 6 GT Classics Cup - Goodwood (Circuit) - Sep 11

[Jeffrey]

Man that sucks .

Was happy with a 1:18 in qually and had a good start. I then run wide because I was looking in my mirrors too much . Followed by a spin at the next corner .

Bara was uncatchable in his BMW so I kinda lost concentration and spin at the double right handers at the end of the lap. Gravel traps didn't to Jack beep so I went face first into the barrier. Engine dead .

I quite liked the Pantera, shame it wasn't really up to the BMW, and there were too many BMW's . Just like real life

Apologies for anyone I got in the way of while driving like a complete idiot who had never held a wheel before. Really disappointed in myself. Last week was my best ever race. This week was the worst I've ever driven I think. That was pathetic.

Hope everyone else had a better race than me. And I hope my teammates had a better race than everyone else.

was fun for a while.

Had a power cut (very brief) here half way through qually so started from the back..Start seemed ok...even though somebody didn't get away for some reason, I didn't see any of the usual mayhem due to it.

did 20 ish laps....but not had any time to praccy this one so just enjoyed the short run out.

Grats winner and podium.

PS....For those that haven't yet read the rules here at srou......

NO CHAT DURING PRACTICE AND RACE

is one of them......this includes sorry, hi, what time is it  etc.....at the end of the day, the rule is there to make it fair for everyone....please don't disrupt others races and qually. Thank you.

Despite 4 offs and an inspection of the flower stands at the grandstand, had a great race. 

Thanks all for racing and c-ya next week in Japan!

[Sandor M]

Had a blasting start which got me to 9th spot and could well hold this place. After misfortune for some others drivers I even drove 5th for a while  Way above my level.
After a lap of 15 I lost concentration for a sec and I went wide against the wall .
I only lost one place but the beemer lost a bit of its stability and I couldn't get the same times anymore.
So just went off the throttle a bit earlier and tried to bring it home as quick as possible.
Resulted in an 8th spot ........   I'm so proud of myself 

See you all next week.

Agreed   Fair play to all those free thinkers/idiots that dared to be different. Great pace in the Panty from JR/Assas (do get that fixed and I presume thats what prevented PR joining us tonight as well  :'().

Chuffed to hustle the Cwapri into mid pack for start. That went smoothly but there then followed a few laps when I had to pick my way through bits of bimmer everywhere (at least they had the courtesy to crash into each other) Then had a nice fight with Tibs and Sandor. Unlucky there Sandor, I tried to give you as much room as possible there and I think you just ran outta tarmac. Real shame that didn't continue. After that got passed by Dan 3/4 times and had much fun holding him up for almost a lap. All very good really

Backmarkers were very helpful   Congrats to podium and my fellow cwapri heroes

I'm afraid too  Never drove that line into the corner and just had too much speed to do it right......

Ah well, we had fun for some time.

Interesting race. Sorry for whimping out on the Pantera - I tried it for a bit before the race but the setup I usually use for the fast one was dreadful and it was going to be no fun. I should have made some time to get a setup sorted but didn't. Thinking I really need to get some points on the board I took the safe option

Really good driving from backmarkers - very courteous as it's so hard to pass safely with thefast seeping bends of Goodwood.
@ Geoffers: what happened when I came to lap you? When I got near you kind of lagged and next thing I saw you on the grass... sorry if that was anything that I did but it was rather odd how your car stuttered for that 1 second

Made a poor-ish start but made up one place, I changed up to 2nd way to early though and JR blasted through for the lead. Had a good few laps with Oily in tow but I couldn't hear my engine over the Pantera (hence the early change at the start) so was looking at the rev counter all the time which was... interesting!

Going into the left kink we both ran wide letting Oily through, then Jeff clipped a kerb in the next right and spun so I was chasing down Oily but not making any inroads. Few laps later he went off same place as JR and I did earlier and I had just enough momentum to outbrake into the right hander.

Tried to then just smooth it out and make sure I didn't go off. Didn't work though, I came off 1 more time but somehow the gap stayed around 9 seconds... very evenly matched with Oily all the way - great stuff mate! Pulled out a bit more of a gap towards the end as I got into a nice rhythm. I really needed that win - all good!!

[Minton]

Well that was up and down ,back and forward, side to side and all over the place, had to much wheel spin at the start and Jeff and Bara went through.  Then went off at the nasty left hander and fell down to about 12th , started driving a bit crazy and went off again .   Sbg was driving with so much flare i had to keep dropping back behind him to watch him throwing the capri around     Finally got passed him for the 4th time and caught Phil and got third.

Grats to Bara on the win and the steady connection  and to oily on a well earned 2nd..last time i give you a set up.

cheers

No nothing you did Bara, I got a bit of lag just at that moment & before I knew it I was on the grass. Had slow fps for about half a lap afterwards then all well again!

Really dissappointing result as I had really got to grips with this car/track combo. Running 4th for the first couple of laps trying not to overdrive & keep it smooth, then   just touched the grass accelerating out of St Mary's & spun. Came to a halt in the middle of the track & Spanner couldn't avoid me & hit my right front corner. We both got going again but the handling had gone & I struggled with understeer after that which got worse & worse. After one or two more mowing sessions I gradually dropped down the field to 13th at the end.

Congrats to Bara, Mr Oily & Dan.

Cya all in Japan next week .

Were you running any Anti-Virus during the race? I had that happen during a race before when it was updating itself.

[Truetom]

Well, I guess allowing different cars for (almost) every race (the opposite of GTR2) encourages taking the right car for the right track, hence the number of BMWs, right?   

No car would help me yesterday as I didn't have enough time to prepare and got to know the track during practice. The start had again had some Sleeping Beauties and I bumped into the car before me - sorry, I don't know who it was, though I think he in turn had to wait for the car before him to get going. Was a bit disapointed to be taken out and the driver didn't even flinch, just drove on.    Degrades GTL for me, it seems a bit more laks than GTR2 and I might go play some BF2 on Thursdays.    Or maybe it was just the weather. 

TT

I was right behind you Tom and waited until you moved to get moving. Next thing I saw was bits flying up at the front of your car.
