UKGTR 2.12.4 car test - Magny-Cours (GP) - Apr 4

[Jeffrey]

Looks like the Marcos is going in your favour TT and Jeff

I'm going for the Viper GT1.... never driven it before   don't fancy sharing your setup when you were running it Jeff?  

Those are indeed the first changes, didn't see the Marcos mentioned in the update.

Here is a setup called Viper for Magny, didn't load it up, but should be alright:

Somebody fiddle with the Bi-T fuel tank? Everything worked fine from this end.

[Truetom]

Hah! I put in 70 l (46 min) and it was barely enough - came over the line with 0,5 l.

Good race with Matteo - thanks for being patient.

BiT is great, but eats tyres and drinks like Oghren.

[Legzy]

I was in a class of my own.

Sadly that meant I couldn't keep up with the GT2 leaders but was clearly faster then the remaining GT2 boys.

API in GTC was nearly as quick, so held back at the half way point for him to catch up. We then had some fun chasing & swapping position.

Role on the real racing next week

[H@L9000]

Well that was fun.

Good fight with FreQ early on.

A scary moment as I span on the last corner and a 430 just about managed to avoid me. Good driving.

New changes seem good. See you all next race.

Curious start. I was 11th behind Legzy, was overtaken on the pace lap, then rammed off the road when I attempted
to get back into the correct slot, then flashed and nudged again when I did get back into line.
Thought maybe I was wrong so just let it go. I assume just a misunderstanding. Can't do a an incident report untill
the page is finished, and seems over the top anyhow. (though someone might have a word?)
After that followed and passed Riccardo, then got a cut track in the final chicane, so took it easy next lap which caught him out I think, sorry if  my slower pace was unexpected, I was just trying to avoid another cut track
was gutted when you went into the wall after shoving me up the bum. Kept a gap back to JPV after that, but was a lonely race to the end.

[Manteos]

Regarding Matt first lap I've to excuse with you mate . My friend Riccardo, was totally sure that he was in front of you at the start, and seeing the replay seems that he was defending his 11th position... but he should had start in 12th...
I'm deeply disappointed, and Riccardo makes his excuse to Matt. He was in TS with me in that moment and he reported that he was overtake by Matt, but Matt was only trying to re-gain his deserved position.

It was my return to race today, and I got a good go in my "user friendly" F430. Good to see that after 50 days without driving with a steering wheel, my ankle responded well! I wasn't tired after the race, and these are good signals for my moral, and especially for my ankle health!
About my race I can say that I enjoyed a lot during first laps, til my concentration was broken by some funny guys in our Italian TS... that's the way we use it... to disturb each other during the race
Great fight with Truetom, but after I gained the 2nd pos, as I barely said, my Italian mates made the rest, and I had to give up the interesting duel with the Bi-Turbo Porka.

It's a strange car the BiTurbo, because it's a real pig on the borders, and it's really difficult to turn behind it in that situation, but it was really a clean and fun duel while it lasted , and I thank TT for his clean manouvres in every defensive situation. Good driving as ever mate!
Cu at the next!

[phspok]

Thanks for the comments Matteo. No Problem, I assumed as much.

Congratulations for a successful return to both feet!

I will wear this as a plaster after my iR performance.

[purdie]

that was funny.... Viper is not such a beast but saying that i was still at least a second off the GT1..

gf's mates were all getting ready for a night out and running around me so I coudn't quali.... er too distracted by various 21 year olds 

plus didn't really want to sit in the racing seat either haha

Got up to Gingsters who was once again dominating his class by half a lap and then chucked the Viper off..... a second time after that i quit because the engine was at 20-odd % and was going to blow

Good racing with GT2 though, they were generally quicker thru the corners

Sounds tough mate, My heart's bleeding for ya

[H@L9000]

Just watched some of the replay.

Nice fight with nsfast and spanner as well in the first few laps.

Great stuff.
