Fixed. Thanks Tim.

And fixed that too. Thanks not evil Clive.

Will be curious to see what you make of the Eagle if you run it.
I didn't have time to play with the setup when I first tryed it, and found it to be a nasty understeering barge! 
I suspect from the ADC race this may have been hasty judgement on my part - that or an Alien was at work 

Yes, it is the little one and Clive is right - it is a joy to drive. Having a bit of trouble braking. It brakes like my old Mini used to - more than light pressure on the pedal and it spears off to the left. I did make a load of rather sweeping setup changes before I even drove it last night so I expect I'll be able to dial that out in qualifying.

Landed on my head some 20 laps in which ended my race
Was slowly reeling Bernie in too....

Started with 2 consecutive offs at the Loop, 1 due to the car I was following braking even sooner than I had anticipated on the first lap, so I span and binned it rather than take him out.
The second was when the car infront braked way earlier than I expected in clear track conditions and caused me to do the same again.

Not a good race at all for me 

I may officially have to leave 66s for good since i cant connect to servers, only last chance i got is a full reinstall of my pc :/

The P261 has a nice speed advantage over the 246's but the extra gear changes make it a little harder to turn in to the corners. Anyway I just scraped pole and got away nicely. I had to take some defensive lines going in to Big Bend and first Paul ran off as he caught the grass. Then poor Syd got a wicked warp contact a couple of laps later that had us both down the ditch. I regained the track fairly quickly and was soon with the three leaders. My speedy BRM made passes easy and I managed to split the group so I only had Paul to worry about, I played a waiting game initially but then started to make some moves. On more than one occasion I thought I might have broken the tow only for Paul to loom large in my mirrors again, usually at Big Bend. Then with about 7 to go as we crested the brow at the Loop he flashed across my view behind and I saw him slide off. I'm sure I didn't brake any earlier but it looks like Paul did the gentlemanly thing when he saw my gearbox looming and sacrificed himself to avoid contact. After that it was a steady run to the flag. Amazingly I'm shown as leading the Championship now, eventhough I missed the first round, so no car advantage at the next race then!!
