cant make tonight sorry gents as i am out galavanting, have  a good 'un 

[pribeiro]

Let me give my excuses  
Never have time to practice any car in any track, therefore, I never know which car is better for each track,,
as I only put the games running when there is a night racing, I forget always that in GTR we have to switch the engine off to add fuel. On tonight's race, when I went to pits 1st time there was an Alfa already there in my spot   so I had to get back on track and do another lap before pit in again. Lost weeks in the process and when I was standing there at last, I was stupid enough to forget to cut the engine and everybody passing by. I quit. Lack of time again, is getting my joy away. I hope I will return on Monday with a better mood.
 

By the way Mike, the combos are great.

Pfew, Way too hot to race... Temps above 30 degrees aren't funny 

I had a fast start but was hit from behind and made a 360 just after 180 turn .  Car had some problems with suspension but it was do-able .
There was some pretty close racing for a few laps with 4 or 5 cars but I could not hold on after some concentration problems.

Screwed up my pit-stop by forgetting to turn the repairs / tyres-switch off and spend 100 secs in Pit :-(

After that the car felt better but was driving last with a gap over 1 minute to the next one.
Lost the last bit of concentration and ruined the car in a wall .

Nice track , nice cars, afwul pace from my side .

See you all next week.

[Truetom]

WOW, that was something. Nice close racing with some paint exchange.
Was 8th, then lost it in a downhill chicane. Then a big chase with Hotkeys and Matt 'till the end, brilliant! I think this was the most fun P&G race up until now.

[Alex vV]

Loved my race in the midpack with superior machinery.
Wondering if the fast guys think the same about their restricted cars.
Overtaking is hard because slowboats like me are able to create a gap on the straights and create a TrulliTrain.

Congrats to the podium.

Prepared and installed a fan 

Saw your little mishap with the wall. Webber's flip was more spectacular

Great racing with several people, was following Stig when someone nudged him into my path, I tapped his
rear quarter, so waited for him to recover, err which seemd to take some doing  
Went from 6th to last waiting, so set about making places, was doing well up to stops, faffed around turning
tyres off and fuel up, (I should set up xd or whwtver to help with that) came out behind Stig and found TT somewhere, as they were battling I caught up, passed TT when he went wobbly, could't quite catch Stig
traded places a couple fo times with TT, some door banging at the bottom of the hill, looked like we both
waited  

[Hotkeys]

wow, best race so far   Had a bit of bad luck in the downhill turn on lap one and was set back to 23 rd, ( you shouldn't have waited for me Matt, I had to do 2 acress of ploughing to get out and didn't want to enter the raceline untill everybody had passed )  but I had great fun fighting my way back, and then having some great infights with Matt and Truetom. Gee... truetom, I had to use every trick from the defensive-driving book to keep you behind me, and the still you managed to stress me into making a mistake. Saw you sliding off on the by the downhil part and felt REAlLY  sorry for you   .

Stig / Hotkeys

Results and replay in the usual places

[Eddie Meyer]

It seems that my old DFP is giving up the ghost. Already during practice upshifting was erratic sometimes it went from 1st straight to 4th. Annoying but not dangerous. Towards the end of lap 1 with high revs instead of shifting up it went down from 3rd to 1st which blew the engine.
No excuses left now not to get that G27 which currently sells for around 225 quid. 

[Truetom]

Couldn't go back to plastic stuff. That said, G27 is blackmailingly(!) expensive.

Germany has it almost half price. How about GB?

Replacing the microswitches always cured mine Eddie.  And they only cost pence at Maplin.

Where are you?  I have a couple of switches left over since moving on to a G25.

[phspok]

Anywhere between £217 below, to 310 at PC World.....

Was getting a bit lost with the elite as the default setup is not how you expect it to handle, however the Abarth was fun and easy to drive so even though i was at the back i actually enjoyed it. Didnt realise the track was the one we'd run in UKGTR a while ago which is a nice flowing track which helped also.

Think i'll be nack for more
