A stream of bad events led to this race will be in my memory the one to forget. Not 'cause of my lousy result, that's just a consequence of it all.  Roll Eyes
Had a stutter now and then in practice, and a freeze at the end of it. A complete picture freeze for about 6 or 7 seconds. FPS up this point were at about 60, same as usual. Had the same in quali but less. I was afraid to check 'cause of the Alt-Tab death. Don't think I was running anything in the background, as I restarted my PC prior to the race. Lost some time 'cause of it and qualified 10th, I think.

Came through pace lap havoc unscathed, though a bit confused.  Tongue  Had really bad graphics in the first lap after rolling start, cars completely disappeared and appeared again. I think I hit someone, but I'm not sure, had to see the replay. If I did, I apologize, though I didn't really see anything, just felt something like a contact through the wheel.  Undecided

After two laps there was no more stuttering, so I guess it might have been something on my computer.  Sad
Like H@l said, I also had many battles, this part was really enjoyable. Though I must say, I saw too many unnecessary contacts. Sad  We touched with Evert and he let my by, he was a real gent.  Smiley   

My greatest mistake was I thought it was going to be a more wet race. I made some last minute untested changes which is never a good idea. It took at least half a second per lap out of my dry laptime and more Tongue out of my wet laptime. That was really smart (insert Truetom smilie here).  Roll Eyes 

Pitted at half, took some fuel, just to be sure. Irony itself, I was left out of fuel on the last corner. Tongue Just 1 freaking liter would be enough for 2nd place.  hang

Again I sincerely apologize to whom I hit at the beginning of the race.  Embarrassed

That explains it, I was trying an outside move on API I think, coming into the right hand hairpin (T7?) but suddenly he appeared spun in front of me, checking the replay I saw it was TT hitting him, so I guess he will understand it Smiley

Well I seriously enjoyed that Cool

Had some very good laps with a whole host of you all through the race. Had worked my way up to about tenth for the for the 1st fifteen mins & was pleasantly surprised at being held up by Spanner & someone else in-front of him (Prof maybe?). But just as I was making my move, I think Spanner must have caught the kerb a bit heavy on the inside of T2 or something & just twitched towards me or maybe it was a little block(?)... anyway, it was enough to make me panic (newbie error  Roll Eyes) & take myself onto the grass & spin it across the track... (not your fault mate, just one of those racing things & I've not spent enough time driving all over the back of people yet  Smiley)... luckily we'd earned a 10 sec gap to the next car so others were able to avoid me. But by the time I managed to get round the right way again & it was save to rejoin, I was last again  :'(


I had faith that the Z4 would be able to propel me back up the field, so didn't panic & settled down to enjoy the chase. Gradually caught & picked people off. My favourite/best move was overtaking both Gizmo & JPS(?) at the same time under breaking to T1 for position. Now that's what racing is about  ninja... though it obviously would have taken quite some skill on their part (especially Dave's) to avoid contact with me once I'd commited... so if it was a dangerous move... it wasn't me whistling

Went on to enjoy the whole rest of the race as the pit stratagies played out, sitting in the slip of TT, Shark & H@L till the end, with I think just one other moment of visiting the grass when I missed a breaking point by a mere 100 yards Grin

Last night's race was a mixed bag for me, usual lack of preparation meant starting almost last and then it had to be wet at the start too  Undecided I simply put soft slicks on and let Dave by as soon as the race started. This gave me room to get a feel for the car and the conditions. After a couple of laps I caught Dave and while having someone glued to my rear (forget who sorry, API?) We did Dave either side but I cocked up the braking for the next corner. I guess it was wetter offline and trundled off in to the kitty litter. Then proceeded to drive like a muppet for a couple of laps going wide in a couple of places.

Eventually I settled down and caught up the tail enders again. Took a slightly late pitstop and gambled on the original 100L lasting. My pre-race calcs said I needed 108 so with the slower laps early on in the wet plus the pace/pit laps I crossed my fingers and just put a new set of softs on.

The second half of the race was then a lot more exciting, basically cos API chased me down and then was glued to my bumper for many a lap. He was obviously quicker over a lap but somehow my TVR was quick enough in the straights API couldn't get level. Great battle that ended when I realised that this hard driving was not helping my fuel usage. I let API passed, although I'm fairly sure that would have happened before the end anyway, and drove like a granny for 3 laps. Car coughing and spluttering as I just held off JPV and I crossed the line with 0.1L in the tank!

I have a lot to learn about stratagies. Have a decent first stint, though was slower than Simon and another Z4 and TT was catching too. Pitted. Wrong tyres. Too much fuel. Outlap, big collision with someone in a Vertigo. All my fault, got a kick off the kerbs after being on the grass. Sorry if I caused any damage. I picked up big bodywork damage, suspension damage, and a puncture. Was going to throw the towel in, but pitted and continued. Picked wrong tyres again!!!! Finished on wrecked inters.

One to forget.

Thanks mate Grin

Consistent apart from when I switch off the engine at the end of the warm up lap by mistake, crash into the pit wall on pit entrance, run out of fuel and choose the wrong tyres. But I am getting there Smiley

(not your fault mate, just one of those racing things & I've not spent enough time driving all over the back of people yet  Smiley)... l

Sorry about that Legzy,I actually backed out of the move. I had a run on Prof but realised i was only level with him on the inside and as the racing line cuts right across the inside curb I didnt want to assume he was going to give me room as its not the corner to be running side by side through as there no room on the exit. I slowed trying to let Prof back ahead as i was slowly running out of room but obviously you had gained on us as well so tried to keep out of the way to the inside.

As compensation I then spent so long looking rearwards realising i caused it then trying to work out how far your'd gone that i messed up the chicane, locked up and nearly ended up in the sand. Sad

lol, no worries.

I've really enjoyed this last few races. Being in Z4 which is obviously a little quicker then its competitors, has meant I've been a lot more involved in the races. I've been able to be right in the mix with loads of you (anyone not also driving a Z4  Wink), which has been great fun. Normal service will soon be resumed, when the cars have been equalled & I can watch you all drive into the distance. Wave as you lap me.

Make that a violin duet Legzy - more 'real' racing in a few Pre-season races in the Z4 than several seasons put together.
