Oh well, got a great start after qualifying behind fellow team mate Dave Gymer, got a great start and beat Dave into Maggots (turn 2), then went around outside Stowe corner to get the inside line for Club, which I got another place, only to lose it going into Abbey by breaking too late, I then got going again in 16th got up to 12th again after 2 laps, with others falling off and 2 nice passing moves, only for Pc screen to go blank:/

blimey, my pc actually held out the whole race distance  Smiley

Joined praccy early hoping to get a good practise session in as hardly done any laps, but the usual hardware probs and then dinner robbed me of the rest.

Started back of the grid and was content to just get some laps in following the pack. Soon found myself in giddy heights of 10th and stayed there for a few laps until a long slow spin at T1...i stupidly lifted and so back came around mid corner  Roll Eyes
Stayed out of everyones way as they came back after their offs and finished last-ish.

Ran my system on class 5 for the race, seemed to do the trick, tho the graphics look one step above Geoff crammonds F1  Grin

Pretty quiet race all in all, solid start, passed 2 spinners/goer-offers and then I was watching TT dissapear up the road.  Big gaps to the cars behind .... suddenly got much smaller after a spin.  That gave Simmo a chance to get close, and a small mistake let him past.  Can't complain with the result, good racing.

That's me at work now.

Not sure what to say about my performance.

I never felt at ease throughout practice.

Once quali started and I started getting excitied things started to happen. Neither myself or Paul managed to repeat practice pace but my time was good enough for pole.

Paul gave a good chase for about the first 8 laps. He was using the draft to pull up on the straights and twice he was able to have little looks.

I felt really good and was beginning to flow and under pressure I did not feel I was going to make a mistake.

Then Paul dropped right off. Without the benefit of watching the replay and I'm not sure what happened.

Not sure what happened to me next but I completely switched off and lost concentration. I was making error after error for no reason and I was more than frustrated.

I had a big spin out of T1 and Paul went passed.

The Skip is so slow at getting back up to speed, Darren came charging in hard and we arrived at the next bend really close together but travelling at different speeds.

It was a horrible position to be in and I don't think it could be viewed as a bad rejoin since I had travelled 500 yards before Darren caught.

I stayed over to the right and thought he was going to try and go around me but he backed out.

The next again lap I went off again and dropped behind Darren and Gary. I also got a black flag warning and had to back off.

I was fuming with myself.

Made a few more stupid mistakes before I regained focus and pulled in Gary and Darren but too late to have any chance of passing.

Week 13 can't come fast enough for me to have a little break.

Grats Paul, Darren and Gary.

I would like to Apologize to Ian Mabbott.  I was a bit eager and ruined your race.  Sorry.

A few laps later made a mistake into T1, and then made several more after that trying to push to hard.

Not a great way to finish the season,  but I am looking forward to Season 2.

Never quite got into a comfortable rhythm in qually, having done no practice at all before 7pm today. Was also the first race I've done on the new box, new seat, new headphones et al so it all felt a bit alien.

Got a ropey start and let Burtmacher through – wasn't too worried as I figured he'd soon fall off and I wasn't wrong. But once the race was underway properly I started to settle in and the lap times started to drop. Running 5th I had a good view of the battle between Paul and Brian, and after a few laps Gary and Darren were starting to pull away.

I soon had my mirror full of TT though, and he was clearly quicker. I had to defend rigourously for a few laps, including a number of side by side runs into Stowe and Vale Corner Grin and I kept varying my lines and braking points to keep him guessing. Fortunately a few laps from the end he made a tiny error in Maggots and that was enough to give me a couple of clear laps at the end, and I used the extra breathing room to get a PB on the final lap. Smiley

Didn't really expect to enjoy the Skippy at such a fast and open track but it worked pretty well I thought. yes

Nice to finish on a high, but a shame the battle with Brian ended early. Dinner and kids got in the way of pre-qual practice, so I couldn't quite get in the groove to take pole. It wasn't a problem though as the title was safe, so I could afford to race just for fun. Brian and I had a great little battle for 8 laps or so, and like him I felt really good in the car. He looked like he was trying harder and making a few mistakes, but maybe that was my imagination  Wink I twice had a chance to overatake into stowe but didn't want to go too deep and he kept the place round the outside. I knew (or thought so) that I'd get another chance, and then I could be more aggressive. Trouble was, I then spun unexpectedly at brooklands - still don't know why, but it dropped me back 6 seconds. I kept 2nd ahead of Darren and gradually started to close in on Brian, but time was going to beat me. When he span at T1 the tables were turned though and I could ease off a touch and cruise to the finish.

Well done to Darren and Gary on the podium places. Gary definitely deserved a bit of good luck. Grats to Brendan for taking 2nd in the championship and all the other Kerbies for the team title. Finally, thanks to Iain (Pops) for setting it all up. Looking forward to next season now  Smiley

My driving style in the Skip is usually more sideways than most.

Without the benefit of lap times I don't recall any errors of note up to lap 9, then suddenly I did notice laps falling from low 11s to 13s as I made a complete hash of things.

I was trying to get you out my draft as there is too much to gain.

I did leave the door wide open for you to try and make the pass stick. Surprised you did pull out given the invitation.

My driving has gone to pot at the moment (Check out my SR at present)some of my own doing but it did not help on Monday when I was hit 6 times in the one Radical race.

Shame both our mistakes split up what would have been a good fight.

As per our practice, qualifying and race pace there was little in it.

Was the fastest race lap done under draft or a clear lap?

It was a case of lots of uncharacteristic mistakes once the race should have been safe, but likewise you will call that about your spin.

It's just a shame with the rotten shifts I work I can't race on a regular basis. The way things are in here I might be able to race 24/7 soon though.

Overall the first season must be viewed as a success. I did not think race numbers would be so high.

Driving standards did improve as we went along with lots of new drivers learning, but also people are getting quicker all the time.

Well done to all championship winners and to those who have raced.

Also to those who have made things work too.

The fastest lap was in the draft, but if you look at the lap, the places I gained most where on the exits (copse,beckets, abbey). I think I lost more time backing off on entry because your car was in the way than I gained from the draft to be honest - it isn't that important in the skippy anyway. I didn't force the pass because it was early in the race and I wanted to feel what was possible from that position (offline on the inside). It was clear from my first 2 trys that there was quite a bit more I could take if necessary.

Anyway, good fun while it lasted Smiley

I would have to disagree about the draft though.

I did not think you were close enough on most laps to worry about backing off.

According to my time you were never closer than 0.3 on exit of T1 and a few times even though I made a good exit on to the straight 0.3-0.4 would be cut off my advantage on the straight.

I was able to do low 11s in race spec with no assistance, so I was not hanging about.

Most races so far this season the fastest lap of the night is set by the car who has been in 2nd position drafting the leader.

Even though the Skip only uses a little fuel the jump between 1.7 gallons to 3.8 is worth a few tenths and yet race times are quicker.

At Watkins Glen last week the opinion was the draft was good for up to about 1 second a lap.

Paul Richards also raised the gains possible at Summit Point.

In my opinion even though the skip is slow, draft is still very important and beneficial.

Just a quick glance at the lap times would suggest the draft did improve your lap times.

Your quickest laps came when on my tail early in the race whilst heavier.

On your own whilst trying to catch your laps were between 0.4 to 0.6sec slower. 2.11.346 the best with 2.11.5s the normal.

As you can see from my laps consistency and errors was a real issue.

There is a number of very low 11s without draft followed by 12s and 13s which is poor.

Well a better race for me today although I'm a little cross with myself as I ran wide at the first corner a couple of times.

Could not reproduce my pace of yesterday in practice or qually so was a little lower on the grid than I'd hoped. Stuart has a stunning last lap in qually for an 11.3, well done.

For once made an excellent start and mugged Dan for fourth and capitalised on Stuarts T1 mistake to be running third which was fine but I made a mess of the becketts sequence on lap 2 and was a sitting duck for Dan down Hangar straight. I plonked myself in the middle of the track and did not move and just concentrated on tucking in behind him at the end without losing another place.

One of the offs at T1 let Darren past and a few laps later Dan spun so the two of us were running third and fourth. I dropped back a bit with another wide moment at T1 and then had to work hard to try to close the gap. This was accomplished with a little help from Brian and then Darren and I had a nice scrap for a few laps. Nothing to be done though as our pace was pretty even,  I was quicker through the start of the complex but a little slower on the exit. Nice race Darren I enjoyed it.

I was a little worried that Brian might catch me but although he closed the gap down he ran out of time, you are right though you are very sideways in places, I caught sight of you in the mirrors a couple of times!

I'm pleased to have finished a race with a decent result and I having a decent run was nice as I've been very rusty this season.

Thanks to all who organised, more of the same next season:-)

Regards
Gary

Grats pody and too bad PaulR couldn't make it. Sad Nothing for the poor 4th guy, as usual - sorry Freq. Wink Seriously though, well done to all finishers. Smiley
Had my best race so far, I think. Mostly 'cause DG kept me motivated. Kept close but could never muster enough courage speed to safely overtake. Probably would in GTR2 but a contact in Skip is all bad for the car. Motivation showes in laptimes, I improved my pb by 2 seconds. Grin Thanks Dave, could never do it on my own. Smiley Also, I think it was my first iRace without a spin. Tongue Oh, almost forgot: it was scarry at times as DG disapeared for more than one second while somewhere uncomfortably close. Shocked It didn't appear laggy, just "blink" and gone. Then apeared again. I'm glad we didn't make contact during this. sweatdrop

The season was ... educating, thanks Pops. Smiley Still, iR lacks several things in the way of quality racing. The cars are too fragile for my taste and until repairs in pitstops are done it will never be a real sim. Even in one seater real races contacts don't always damage the car as much here. Sad Fast tow is not really an option for me and I'll probably not use it at all as it just makes me unhappy and mad to sit in the pit like a sad geezer. Angry Until these and other things are fixed GTR2 will still be my number 1 and iR a supplementing fun Tuesday racing game. Sorry Pops. Undecided

Looking forward to season 2. Smiley

Yeah, my connection's turned to rat poo at the moment Sad and at one point last night I was saying "please don't disco please don't disco please don't disco" over TeamSpeak - was might relieved to hear Picnic reply which meant it hadn't dropped completely.
