We meeting on an open practice session later!?
Seems daft to host one when there will be loads available?

Apologies for the lack of practice server guys. It's was my boys 3rd birthday party yesterday and I'll be honest, I completely forgot about starting the server  |

Really wasn't any need for one Pops, as Martin said - plenty of open session available to join.

Had hoped to go quicker but seem to be stuck in the 30-31's. I tend to run a more understeery car than the accepted standard setups which i think might be holding me back a bit. Never quite got on with this track and still a few corners i struggle so hope to at least till half distance lol

I popped on for a quick session but can't say it's helped a great deal! Always find this track tricky as hell, particularly that turn 2/3 uphill and blind crest bit so the goal here once again will be to bring it home in one piece, oh and not to crash in to Ken |

Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid ass. Completely my fault Dan, so sorry, nothing you could have done to avoid me - completely misjudged how much room was on the left and clipped your wheels like a pratt. Robbed both of us of what could have been a great battle. Not sure what else to say really. Back to the Solstice for me...with stabilisers.

Woo-haw. Team Shark 1-2-3, thanks to John and Mike with me a rounding out the podium with a jammy 3rd.
Started in my best grid position for a while in 6th, with some practice actually paying off and I knew my race pace was better than I had hoped for too, being able to drive in the 1:28s.
When Oily took out Dan at the start that put me straight up to 4th and very soon after Ken nicely lost the rear of his car (I think it was over the crest of a hill) and I was up to 3rd.
Ross then chased me for half the race, but in the second half I inched further and further away whilst he battled Brendan. By the time Brendan had got past Ross, I was 6 seconds up the road and only 5 laps to go so I just cruised to the end with a sedate last couple of laps to make sure I didn't make any stupid mistakes and lose 3rd.
That circuit is very hard, so I'm not suprised to see so many people go out. Looking forward to Zandvoort as I've only used it the once before (in the SRou Late Model race), but I fear that is a tricky circuit too with so many tight twisty corners.

YAY!  I pretty much matched my PB to go 4th on the grid, that was OK. Had a grandstand seat for the T1 incident and that jumped me straight up to 2nd behind John. I concentrated on settling into my race and getting the tyres up to temperature, I was gradually pulling away from Ken and Shark, but John was beetling off into the distance. I knew I couldn't match that kind of pace, so drove fast enough to keep the concentration up and reeled off the laps to bring it home 2nd. Boring being all by myself, but a good result. |
