Many apologies to those who got caught up in my mess, went too hot into corner got hit from behind as someone did roughly the same and then kept getting spun and hit.
I have tried all I know to get the frame rate suitable, runs 36 average when not around cars, but when it is 15-20 just cannot suitably control it, so I will have to retire until further notice from GTR as not only does it ruin my night , but also those who get caught up.
With GTL on the horizon I hope to god that performs better than this does.
Hope to see you all one day on track in something!!!
All the best
Nick

Well thank you Mr lagging Ferarri 360. Dont know who u were, but totally spoilt my race! Fozz he was in front of you, maybe you got his name. Kept disappearing, then right in front of me, was worse once i got passed him.

I did some amazing overtaking moves in the first few laps, although I'm not sure they were the wisest however. I must watch the replay and either bask in my brilliantness, or hang my head in shame at my stupidity (don't know which).
The F360 was Dave, I ended up with about 6 Dave's at different points around the track. I eventually grew tired of dodging and when it was right on the racing line in one of the longer corners I just drove at it and passed through. After that it was slightly disconcerting driving through all those Ferrari's but didn't really cost me time.
I made a right arse of letting people through at some points. Not used to being in such a slow car, I don't usually have a problem in a 360 letting by GT's but the Z3M was hard. Soz to Pops, I don't feel I did anything wrong really but I could have been nicer, you caught me at probably the worst time ever.
Also sorry to JonM_UK. I locked up behind you and I think I scared you into going off too, even though I'm pretty sure I'd already managed to avoid you.

That was me. Sorry, Locutos, my ADSL has been up and down like a yoyo during peak hours over the past few days (since the speed "upgrade"), seemed okay for the first few laps but then it got really bad, I hung on in hoping it would clear up but eventually it dropped me completely, not until after I'd had "that's your first blue flag" every few seconds for 3 or 4 laps, spun a few corners before the Bus Stop and collected Jamera whilst trying to rejoin (sorry, Jam - perhaps I can swap you that for you running into my rear on the pace lap?). I nearly pulled out earlier but really hoped it would come back - it's normally okay after 9pm.

I was getting used to dodgy Gizmos car warping in every corner, was like having to complete in a slalom. Shame for Giz in his NGT champ quest, stupid technology! Somebody should shoot them for overloading the exchange without thinking before upgrading everyone. Thank god I'm on cable at least that is either on and perfect or off and dead, nothing in between. I was doing well in the BMW until I locked a brake into the bumpy 2nd gear right hander 1/3 way round and hit the tyres losing my splitter. Spent over 2 mins at standstill alone in the pits whilst my really slow pit crew (must fire them sometime) fixed it. Then spent the rest of the race catching up and then being caught by JonM who also had some offs and had a good battle with him, knew he was faster but no way was I letting him through and he made a mistake and it ended up being a 1 - 2 for Team Shark in G3 with Smoothy being very consisten to take the G3 win as well as more points from Picnic in 4th and Luis in 5th! Well done to Jon C for the GT win and fine debut and Pops for his NGT win. When are the dice going to give us rain again!? Was sort of looking forward to some 90 mins at Spa in the wet in a sadistic kind of way.

No worries Dave, didn't really lose much time there, lost more the first 3 times I came across you stationary and braked to avoid you . Ended up just driving straight through you 3 or 4 times, then bugger me you hit me!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol No worries mate I don't think even allowing for that I would have been close enough to Pops to worry him anyway

Wow what a crazy race far too much to mention, well far too many spins to mention Had amazing quali, 3 secs quicker than PB but the first half of the race was very eventful. Mixing with the NGT's, stop go penalty,spins and a damaged car Great race though. Only disapointment was catching up to shark, following him around for a few laps but then came one of those really slow spins that only the BMW can provide, Would've been a nice battle to the finish Fozz, tbh not sure if you touched us or not, I could see your car closing and sliding and kinda cacked me pants, think it'll have to be a replay jobby. But no worries mate It didn't reallly affect my race because of all the other spins Grats to Jon(never have too many of those kinda name's) Popa and smoothy in their race wins.Nice one boys See ya at the next un'

Sorry to not have a put a better support for the team I was really enjoying the close race with 2 Z3 (Shark and JonM_UK) with Jamera's 996 (I think) just in front of the pack. Unfortunately Dave net problems caused some stir for a couple of laps with his 360 jumping out of thin blue. After Shark and JonM little dance I stayed ahead of the G3 class with a steady 2"30 laps with a very good lead for the 8th. Unfortunately my f#$%?!!!! engine broke between Stavelot and Blanchimont , a part of track where cars go at full throttle, when I was 7th overall and still with some 15 liters of fuel. I was aiming for a splash and dash pit stop, between 1h and 1h05 race time, hoping to be able to get closer to the 6th but not even had the chance.

My first win! Lordy that was stressful, don't think I've ever properly been in the lead before, never mind for 90 mins round Spa! I'm gutted for Dave that his internet connection died, seeing as he's beaten me in every other Div 2 race I was looking forward to another good tussle. I thought I was pulling away from you at the start a little too easily. Dave, did you have another no-stop strategy up your sleeve? Drove very poorly in qualifying, I was lying about 0.5s behind Dave for most of the session but finally got it together for the last 10 mins and put in one really good lap that gave me the NGT pole. Thank goodness I persisted (just goes to show eh?) as it kept me clear of Dave's warping. I think because of that I was able to pull away quite quickly from the other NGT's and G3's. Drove really well for the first 45mins and had about 50s on Jam when I pitted, but then he went in on the next lap, I was just praying he didn't have some demon no-stop strategy up his sleeve! Had a dodgy moment coming up on Luis' black cloud of death after his engine exploded, I couldn't see where the car was so I was forced to slow quite a bit, even though Luis had sensibly pulled over off the track. Picnic kindly span through the chicane to let me through when I was dithering over an overtaking manouvre Fozz, no problem, I think we were both a little tentative when I came up on you but it was safe in the end which is all I was after! Congrats to Jon on the win and cheers to the rest of the GT boys, absolutely textbook overtaking by one and all. Really, really impressive stuff and hugely appreciated, especially over 90 mins! And a big thanks to the G3 boys, it definately would have been a bit sparse without you. Very disappointing there were only 5 NGT's on the starting grid Pops.

That was a painful experience Due partly to no practice I was no where in terms of times in the BWM, however as things never improved in the race perhaps I just don't get on with the thing. So qualified 3 from the back. On the opening lap Nick, as he said, spun and myself and some of the back markers came across the incident. Nick seemed to have just about sorted out the car when he got tagged and this caused him to spin into the gap where the train of passing cars was going, me included. O dear, flat tyre so off to the pits we go. I was not planning on any pitstops so that ruined that strategy So I come back out 1:20 behind the car in front and they are quicker than me anyway. I almost quit as it was going to be a long 90 minutes. This wasn't helped by spinning on cold tryes at the top of the hill on the out lap. Great, lapped on a long circuit before I had completed 2 laps I stuck with it and spun a further 3 times in the race, twice while worrying about cars trying to overtake me. The last on the final lap when I knew I was the last car and it made no difference. Sorry to SbG who I probably appeared to block on the way to the bus stop, I was distracted by LB's broken down car and never saw you until too late, thought I'd make it easy for you by going down the pit entry. I was surprised by one red thing but generally tried to stay out of everyones's way

No worries picnic, I was distracted by LB's beamer a couple of times as well. Forgot to say that lapping on the whole was pretty comfortable even though I seemed to catch a beamer on the entry to rouge every time.
