I was lucky to be racing tonight & only managed to join with a fraction over a min qualifying left.  Grin

So started in last slot on the grid (20th) but treated the race like it was a pure bonus just to be there & that's exactly how it turned out to be Cheesy

Had done a bit of scouting earlier in the week so was confident of set up etc & just went for it really. Had some great little fights along the way. The BMW's & the Panoz were just too quick down the straights, but I would claw everything back on the corners in my F430. Got myself upto about 10th then had to spin my self to avoid hitting my team mate who seemed to be moving like a snail round the last bend before the back straight. As I recovered my self from the middle of the track, I think I nudged Picnic who's caught me back up in the process (sorry). Having already worked hard to get past him & Steve Holmes (I might owe Steve a little sorry too, I seemed to wait an age before accelerating out the last bend & then I nicked your front right wing when I finally felt it safe to go  Embarrassed). Stick in some fun with Napo, Picnic brake testing me  Wink (which sent me wide & let Spanner through)... then having to get past Spanner & Picnic again with minutes left & then chasing down Steve again, who just pipped me to the line  taz Wink

I hope Sunday lives up to that I really do! Hopefully I'll get to qualify then & try to stick with MJ (which looks unlikely after tonight, great driving/times mate) for as long as possible!

Enjoyed that  Grin

Was a little surprised to start 2nd as not done alot of practise here, only a bit last night. Wasn't sure my race setup was good enough and was worried about the front tyre wear. Started ok but soon had MJ close behind, Didn't trouble me to much except he was quicker round the last few corners under braking.

 Busi started pulling away so just settled down keeping MJ and TT behind. Think MJ made a slight mistake which let me get away slightly and allowed TT to pass and then chase me down. Last 10 mins or so TT was very close as my front tyres were very worn and i was slow into corners but the Panoz just had enough speed on the straight to keep me ahead. The last corner was TT's best chance to get me down the inside but i kept it neat and tidy on the apex and just made sure i got a nice clean exit and it was just enough to get a nice 2nd. MJ came on strong at the end too and was very close behind.

Grats Busi and TT

Great race again, been some superb rounds lately.  Cool

My car felt great and i knew i had decent pace around here. Held pole position for most of qually but with 7 or 8 mins remaining, first one then two of the Panoz's got ahead with their brute pace. Qualied a very respectable 3rd ahead of TT's Fezza.  Smiley

In the race i knew i had no real chance of getting past the two panoz's unless they made an error or their tyres wore out towards the end of the race. I could attack around Priory & Luffield but they would always have the grunt to get away down the straights again. TT kept the pressure on me for the first 20 minutes allowing Gazza to pull out a couple of seconds. I gradually eeked out a 2 sec gap to TT, but then i got a wheel on the very edge of the kerb on the fast exit out of Copse and the car got spat across the track at high speed  Shocked i barely managed to hold on, taking to the escape road and rejoining the track, but losing 3 seconds to allow TT to shoot past and take 3rd place :'(
I set about chasing him down but he didnt put a foot wrong and even eeked out a couple of tenths more on me whilst he chased Gazza for 2nd.

With about 3 laps remaining i re-caught the pair of them as they dualled ahead and the 3 of us ran within 1-2 secs of each other with a 13 second gap back to 4th place  Shocked I was hoping to get past one of them if they lost momentum in their attacks but they kept it together like the quasi aliens they are and we all crossed the line within a few tenths of each other. Great stuff  Cool
That single wobble cost me 3rd  Sad though i think TT would have attacked me hard in final minutes of race so who knows if i could have held on !

Was expecting (and fearing) heavy rain, but glad it turned out a great dry race. Congrats to Busi on his rather lonely win up front and TT and Gazza for the podium  Cool

Like you said, MJ, we were at equal pace. It might had been a bit easier for me as I was behind and had a clear view of your lines so I was able to stick with you but not pass. After some early pressure I saw Gazza was able to move away so I let go a bit so you could stay close to him and maybe pass him. From Valencia I knew Panoz can be passed through twisty parts of the track by Porsche and F430. MJ was staying close but when half the race was comming near I decided I will have a go on 3rd place. Well, it wasn't necessary Tongue and it's just as well. Hard to race a teammate for pody.  Undecided
Gazza was about 3,5 seconds in front and I needed 10 minutes to come close enough to start a pressure. Don't you ever make a mistake, Gazzer?!  Hit with a wet fish  When I was close I saw a slight twitching of his car, warping ever so little and it was hard to judge when I'm too close. Came alongside once or twice and I even think there was a slightest touch in the last turn, scared the hell outta me. Shocked  So I tried to get close enough on other parts of the track - no go, Panoz is too fast on the exit and slipstream didn't help. Good driving there, buddy Cool, no mistakes and good show in steering the beast through that final two turns.

Bad luck, MJ, I don't think I could pass you either if you didn't make it easy yourself.  Undecided  Bad luck for JPS as well.  Angry  Steve, how's the itch? You comming back next time?  Grin
X - don't you have to study on Sundays? You know, Monday exams and some such...  Tongue  Grats on the win.  Wink

I must say I enjoy driving F430, it obeys me so I can take it to (my) limit - even with a high tyre wear car acts predictably. And for once it's fast enough to be on equal terms with the porker.  Smiley

Disco for me also. Anyone know what causes these Huh

Lots of potential things - could simply be that your ADSL or cable connection dropped. Have you got a log on your modem/router that would tell you that? Or was it not just a disco but the game crashing?

Definitely not a crash. I'll look into ADSL as it seems to be happening a lot. I haven't got a clue about these things really, so I'll need to do some serious research on this.

Thanks for your help Dave.

That was quite fun, was a bit frustrated with my pace after thinking I'd actually managed to get a good setup for once, was nice and planted in all but the slowest corners, where it was a bit of a bucking bronco, couldn't get the power down at all.  That last corner was a nightmare, lost it once and dropped 2 places, could see Picnic was also finding me a bit rubbish out of the slow ones, I saw you have to avoid a few times, sorry mate, I was doing my best!  Tongue

And then for the same reason I got a BTCC-style love-tap off Legzy that sent the car fishtailing and lost me a couple of places, but that's just racing when I was so painfully slow getting out onto the pitstraight.

I had good close racing all race long, but I only ever benefitted from others fighting hard or making mistakes, might be nice to actually overtake on pace one day.......

Well done TT and MJ, you got the most out of those cars.  thumbup1

Steve, how's the itch? You comming back next time?  Grin

Shhhh, not on a public forum.  Actually the lotion's working wonders. Cheesy  Be rude not to try and thread a GT1 through the kart track that is Oscherschleben, could be funny.  Smiley

Think I agree with Jimmie about the add-ons, coulda just been the circuit but the stock cars did seem a little down on pace last night.

Gazza was about 3,5 seconds in front and I needed 10 minutes to come close enough to start a pressure. Don't you ever make a mistake, Gazzer?! 

That was the most pleasing thing from last night that i didn't crumble when i knew you were quicker and catching me, a while ago i probably would of panicked and gone off and let you past.

Hving just seen the replay Lazlow i appologise as i thought i'd tried to give you room and from your car it looks like i was moving across, though i was trying to keep to the outside and stay in a straight line. Though i did see you'd locked up Grin
