I'm using 2 litres a lap around here, so with the X2 fuel usage looks like my pit-stop window will be between lap 16 and 21.

[Wiltshire Tony]

OK then, looks like your set for a winning evening............what could possibly go wrong

[Wiltshire Tony]

Guys, please read Note 3 of the announcement.

You need both skinpacks tonight.

And the BMW 320i installed.

Thanks Tony.

Poor race for me. Gave someone a clout at the chicane on the first lap, sorry about that. Badly misjuded the braking, thought I had plenty of room and was easing off the pedal, until I found myself closing rapidy at the apex. Rest of my race was ruined by too many silly spins, especially at the penultimate corner.

You didn't spoil anything here Tony, was a good race. I was having a fine tactical battle with Phil. he did a shorter
stop, I changed everything except having a respray, so had good pace second half. Had watched Marco struggling
with manual clutch and the Capri's silly low 1st gear spinning him off a couple of times until I think he got fed up with it.
Second half was catching Phil then made an error somewhere and Tomas got past, he got a bit wobbly in corner and
I touched lightly, not sure whether he was about to spin or was my fault, so waited, letting AAgram throuh ( I think)
then he fell off without my help, so I oushed hard and was going to be right behind Phil at the finish when someone
said something about fuel... I looked at my fuel gauge, and ohh dear that was a bad idea, round we go.
Stil enjoyed most of it. Please. Henry and Helle, will you stop chatting during the race, we are not used to it, and is
very distracting

I, not you, screwed my night up by not reading announcement. Really good turnout and thats a better reflection on your work than us numpties not reading the announcement properly  Shame I miss next Monday, have fun.   

[Wiltshire Tony]

Oh! now I understand (I think  ). What a relief  

But let's hope I can get the 2nd round to be less "problematic"

[goldtop]

Managed to get a nice lap in quali, but really struggled with turn in to the hairpin and had to use much more lock than I'm used to.

Had a nice start from 5th as the road seemed to open up in front of me and I got around T1 comfortably in 3rd. Had Henry chasing me for the first few laps. He was better under braking, but I had the better exits. Unfortunately I think this caught him out in the stadium as he locked up behind me and went off into the armco. I was caught by sqter just before my stop and went off while watching my mirrors  By the time the pitstops panned out I was back into 3rd but was being closed down again rapidly by sqter, who caught and passed me with about 4 to go.

Very happy to finish 4th here as this is one of my least favourite tracks. Congrats to the GTLDK gents on the pody

Race Report

Qualy
Got a decent lap for 2nd, but was not able to match Pelle's speed. Our fearless leader at GTLDK is driving better than ever.

Race

Had a horrible start having not run these cars for months. I screwed up buy not practicing a standing start. Spun the tires bigtime and Geoffers and Henry went on by before turn one. Due to a little argy bargy I was fortunate to get by both of them by turn 2. Then tried hard to catch Pelle. I realized once again Pelle had me covered speed wise so I went into tire conserve mode and just ran my laps. Pelle pitted around lap 15 and I ran one extra lap before pitting. I was somehow lucky enough to come out ahead of Pelle after my stop(he must of had a problem being 4-5 seconds ahead) but once agin Pelle speed was too much and he ran me down, but once he got by i noticed he was starting to struggle with tires so I put my head down again and we must of switched positions 4 or 5 times before I was able to get by him before the last turn on lap 29. Pelle tires were fried and he also had a fuel issue so had to back off to finish the race.

Great job GTLDK for getting the podiums spots Pelle you are too fast!!! drive the tires right off the car Sqter got 3rd and had the fastest lap of the race, so if he didn't start almost dead last I think he would of had the top spot. After watching the replay it looks like everyone did a really good job getting through lap1 turn 1 and 2. Clean driving I look forward to the next races as like some said this is not my favorite track either. Too flat. I like my tracks like my women. Lots of humps.
