Clive is having PC problems so he wasn't able to include the Pit Stop Times in the race announcement. So here they are: Division 1 Pit Stop Times | Single Stop Time | | Double Stop Time | | BRM | No Stop | | N/A | | Cooper | Stop and Go | | N/A | | Honda | Stop and Go | | N/A | | Ferrari | 16 | | N/A | | Brabham | 17 | | N/A | | Eagle | 25 | | N/A | | Lotus | 33 | | 11 |
First Pit Window is: 12 (to go on your pit board) to 8 (to go on your pit board) Second Pit Window is: 10 (to go on your pit board) to 4 (to go on your pit board) PS the date is wrong in the body of the message. We are racing on the 30th as it states in the title  |

Hehe we'll need chunks of practice for Soli  Unfortunately.... My shifter is playing up  N, 1, 3 and 5 are getting sketchy and 2 and 4 are getting prevalent. Putting the stick into N and getting 4 or into 1 and getting 2 every lap is getting old, mega quick.  Now, how on earth do I get the paddles working !!  Ugh, and the week we finally have soli....  |

Another DNF, but at least the engine lasted so I can't blame that this time round  . I was rather pleased with my quali performance managing 4th and was determined not to blow up the engine this time round. I made a poor getaway as a result and lost about 2 or 3 places but managed to pass Clive, thanks to his sideways Honda, and Bernie by the end of lap 1 and was up to 4th again. I then began chasing Phil but I got caught out by the the dust he kindly sprayed over my visor and as a result I smashed into the barrier and became beached. I tried in vain to get back on the track but it was no use. Will then decided to help me out by running wide at the same barrier and gave me an almighty clout which knocked us both out of the track, into the banking. I tried to get out but alas I had no traction and was stuck in the ditch. Ah well, maybe next time that golden finish will come. |

I didn't manage a finish either.
Start was good from 5th into 3rd by T1 and seemed to be able to pull a couple of seconds a lap on PT but of course nowhere the front two. I started making little mistakes though and eventually was caught and passed by Clive. I took my stop after that but then the engine gave way.
Love the track though.

Luck is the handmaiden of fate...
The race began, as usual, I was again unable to get away quickly and was promptly last. I was a little uncertain about following the pack too closely, which helped me avoid Will and Sam's accident. Clive had passed after his spin, but then I began to catch Bernie. I wasn't too worried about passing at first, as I feared I might have made a last minute adjustment back to qualifying fuel, which would have been especially ironic, as my race fuel lap had been faster. The dreaded fifth lap having arrived, it was okay. Then Bernie, who had defended stoutly, let me past at Schattengrund after he ran wide.
This was in time for me to pass Phil after his stop, I was able to hold him off for a lap, then I lost grip and went off- into the Glemstal car park. I was shaken to say the least and was about to have a schnapps, until there was a familiar roar "If my drivers want drinks they'll have to bloody earn them, get back on there and drive O'Ferrall you idle blighter!" Why hadn't Loot chosen a pub with a view of the race?
The car was ropey, but I set off anyway, with no great hopes of catching Phil's Ferrari. There were more retirements leaving me fourth, and I somehow got Phil back in sight in the far distance. Then he ditched it at Glemseck and I was leading him again. Phil managed to both retrieve his car and catch me in one and a half laps, but those curves are very risky to try to pass on, especially with hot tyres, and he went off.
Congratulations to Ken and Clive, the real race 10s a lap ahead, and commiserations to Phil, and Sam who was again faster than me and deserved better. Loot had made his way to the finish and nabbed my champagne- he said I hadn't won and owed him for spoiling a good lunch. There must be a rule against that?

Congrats to Ken for a well deserved victory, I believe he had a good chance of winning even if I hadn't retired, great pace, Ken!
My mind was simply not in that race and I was also very sleepy, so much that I kept falling nearly asleep at some places and somehow get away with it, but not for long. Eventually swerved in one of those fast bends near the end of the lap, went wide, spun, clipped a tree with my front and flipped over. Game over.
