Looks like SBG is gonna be lonely at the front in the Bi Interesting session last night, managing mid 14's though seeing the GTC's doing 14-15's is a bit disheartening.

Don't know if i will make this one yet but i have done a few laps and it is a absolutely cracking track. I think following another closely will be pretty thrilling here.

I wondered why TT jumped me in pits, with that legendary Leg-end pit crew, I presume he fuel for whatever time we had? I was working on race being 80 mins and was rather nonplussed by the goings on. Sorry if I should have twigged but all looked for from where I sat.
We should do that event again? Somewhere else for me?

what a disaster evening that was. Qualied well enough in 5th but then there was a 'jensen button' style race start with someone bunching us up then speeding off leaving me about 5 secs adrift before turn 3 that annoyed me so much i lost concentration and whacked a wall on about turn 5 and had damage from then on. My pace just dropped right off from 2:13's in qual to 2:15+ in race and bad oversteer/hot rear tyres :'( Spanner jumped me quickly and disapeared off, probably as i had 50mins fuel on as well. Then on about lap 17 i noticed that there were only 22 laps ! what the heck? so as i tried to hurriedly lower the fuel in Pxd only for my engine to cut out on track and i nearly got smashed up the derrier by the lapping GT1 cars( sorry about that) must have a key mapping conflict. Lost loads of time and places before i figured out what was going on. Then pitted on lap 18 for tyres only and repairs. Race over, was now bottom of the field with 3 laps to go until Legz kindly smashed into a wall and i regained one place. Bad race, disorganised, low turnout and not fun at all, really didnt enjoy that sadly. :'( whats going on?

I started to enjoy the track after many laps practise. Really did not get on with it at first but, tried a Le Mans style setup and all seemed much better. Shame the race ended early. Simulate race being stopped early by volcanic ash cloud maybe? I messed up the start and lost a place to Jeff straight away. Amazing pace at the front of both classes again. Good to see (hear) TT on TS. Well done podiums.

Apologies from me for selecting the wrong track Can't really use the excuse I only got back at 19:45 from a weekend away as the wrong track was selected for practice all week. Replay and provisional results posted LapChartAt least one person did not take a pitstop, for that reason alone I don't thing these results should stand and the event re-run at the end of the season instead of a fun event (or run again in 2 weeks with the schedule pushed back accordingly) Again sorry for my incompetence :'(

I like this track, but I just can't find any pace on it in any car of any class (or sim ) Was doing 'all right', but then on the last lap... exiting T3 I put my rear end in the bit of the wall that sticks out & got a rear puncture etc. tried to keep going as I had about 10 secs over Pete & 30 over MJ (who I'd passed in the pits lol)... Pete got past me straight away, but was doing alright keeping enough speed to finish before MJ got me, but sadly span putting it in the wall at the 3rd last turn & MJ sailed past. Boooo! Any ideas what's happening on attendance? That's the 2nd race in a row with only 15 drivers

Great track and some very good racing with H@L and Gsi Bob at the start. We were running within a few seconds of each other for the first 10 or so laps. I decided to pit first after seeing Berger and Ruskus closing up after their early stops, on the basis that I would lose time while they went past. I took only one set of tyres at the pitstop and no fuel (started with 100l). However, it took me way too long to cancel the original pit stop settings on screen. H@L and Gsi Bob took their stops late in the race and when H@L rejoined he was 14 secs in front with 2 laps left. The low turnout is getting a bit worrying in the GT1's although the racing is still good. I'm not sure why numbers have dropped so much this season - coming on the back of a very successful season 11. I do miss the changeable weather but apart from that the format is still good and most of drivers are still around - just racing in other series at the moment. Congrats to the podums.

There are some advantages to being on TS. Only changed tyres from meds to softs. Had a good chase with the yellow porkers, first with API, then with Jose. Couldn't really squeeze anything more out of F430 and I don't think any amount of practice would help. I must have made 50+ laps here, so this is as fast as I can go in this car. Even so, we can do this event again, yes. I like this track. Shame on the low numbers again.
