UKGPL Season 17 (2009) Clubmans Cup - Lime Rock (mountain) - May 17

No, don't worry, it wasn't.

Now I've had chance to reflect on it, perhaps I should have been a little more patient.  It's just frustrating when you see the small opportunity that may be there to get a place, drifting away.  They don't come very often for me lol.

I doubt I could have caught James anyway, he was going briliiantly for a first crack at clubmans.

Shame there weren't a few more competitors for this one. Not sure about the grip levels around Lime Rock because it felt like driving on ice. Just looked at the fastest laps and we were all quite close. Amazing pace from Tim, big congrats.

looking forward to the next races, have never raced at Jarama, but anticipate being able to compete well in the remaining races as they are tracks from the main game. Monza especially cause its easy to keep it on track there.

On a seperate note, my internet connection looks to be sorted now I'm not using wireless. Still had a few framerate issues but that seems to be the norm for me on VROC. Framerate is fine on IGOR When people were close to me I hope that I was not dissapearing every few secs and was appearing nice and solid?

Hi Ryeman,

VROC and Igor don't affect fps in any way. Are you using the same GPL player in both? I suspect there's a difference in your rasterizer and graphics option settings which is causing that anomaly.

When I was near you in Practice you were nice and stable James 
As lag free as it gets in GPL at any rate 


VERY pleased to have managed to put another in the bag. Especially as I havn't raced here before and had 20 mins to learn the track prior to getting on VROC, followed by the first half of practice to hone my race setup. With 8 mins to go I decided it was as good as it was likely to get so drained the tank to about 5laps worth and went for a few hotlaps. Was a nice suprise to see how fast I managed to go!

My strategy was simply to launch hard, pressing on to build a cushion back while on Cold tyres. And then settle into a nice fast, safe groove so as to insure the minimum possible number of offs! 
It all payed off as only Tim (Vosblod) managed more ontrack laps, and I steady pulled away from the rest of the field.
All in all a very good race for me - even if I did spin in the hairpin around the mid-point of the race 

Congrats to all finishers, and bad luck to Kevin 

Remember:
All your Race belong to HER!

Sorry Tim, very ungracious of me.

Congratulations on an impressive win.
