UKPnG Season 1 Clubmans - Interlagos - Jul 28

[Paul968]

was there something wrong with the 66?

No, it was too fast 

[Jos Verstappen]

ade said he was faster in the slower 427 I think....

[Paul968]

yeah, he tried that trick with me too in the L88 

[Blunder]

Report! better late than never!

Oh, what fun we had! 

Qualified in 11th, better than I had dared to hope given my 'promotion' to Group D

Great start up to 7th immediately and closing on those in front!
Hit the inside kerb on the last corner of the first lap!  :'(
Span round, couldn't rejoin immediately as I thought I might take someone else out so was dead last at the end of Lap 1 !
What a wally! 

Dug deep and made it up to 7th with lots of good battles along the way!
Bit of a bump from Tim at turn 1 but hey, these things happen!
Ran out of fuel with 100yds to go!! Wally ! again! 

Luckily my 'wingman' ( Legzy ) took pity on me and pushed me over the line!  Thanks buddy! 
What a gentleman! 

Lessons learned then!  but fantastic fun!

Can't tell you how much I am enjoying this so am really crossing my fingers we can find a simple system to continue this level of fun, close racing with less effort from the admins!

Love the 2x fuel, tyres, 60mins plus stops! whatever variations you want to add! bring it all on!

Only issue is that no matter what races are coming up ( GTR2, GTL etc. ), when I sit down to practice, all I want to load is PnG !

Thanks all

Just seen comments from Legzy and Laurie, I really am having difficulty finding practice time, also all these odd jobs between showers is slowing me down.  

Interlagos is a track I've raced on a number of times and I just can't get that series of uphill 2nd gear corners right I go off 90 odd per cent of times.

Incidentally I will not be racing GTL tonight - not had time to learn the track, not helped by lack of marker boards and the changes of road colours blending with backgrounds making recognising corners difficult.

Do you know what, that is exactly the same problem that I keep having

[Tibernius]

First of all, I must make my apologize to what happened at Tibernius. King told me that returned into the track badly, and because of that you have not been able to avoid him... He was really disappointed about that... I will submit an accident report. I hope that you accept his apologize .

No problem, accidents happen. I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
If I'd have lifted off the throttle I might have managed to avoid him, but of course I didn't think of that at the time.

Ditto and double ditto !  As i mentioned online last night, i am struggling to get motivated for the modern GT cars in the srouk leagues that i normally chomp at the bit to get into. The sim racing experience just doesnt compare to racing the 'alive' cars in the P&G mod.
