UKGTR Season 13 - Lower Sprint (GTC) - Barber (GP) - Aug 8

[Mike Miller]

Looks like I've got some work to do. The 1:24.1 was on full tanks in a 997 GT3 Cup car, which should be quicker around here than the Viper and Morgan.

[Mark J]

have only tried the Mosler and Fezza so far, 1:25's for me in both with 10mins fuel onboard. Fancied a change from my usual steed   but not sure what car to take yet.

edit, just grabbed extra half hour praccy...make that 1:24.0's in both. 

[Legzy]

I've tried six of the cars now & am just about able to do 1:24's in them all.
Choices choices

[Truetom]

GT3 RS is quickest for me and guys who drive it and know it are close to 1:22 in race spec. Spyker (and me) can't get close to that mark and that makes is at least one sec per lap difference.

[spanner]

Well i cant break the 1.25.0 mark in anything. Still not sure what to take either as there is now a large penalty to change

just like before, you get the chance for one free change buddy

[Mike Miller]

I was looking forward to this race, but unfortunately, I've got called in to work in the city. See you guys at the next one.

[Ricardo Silva]

I have to apology TrueTom, my rear slide and when i put the car in lane i can avoid you, sorry for that.

Not a great start  

Set a decent quali time which would have probably netted me top 10 but had to leave to adjust my game settings as the fps was really bad. Returned and loaded my race setup by mistake and by the time I realised it was too late  

Started last and tried to get on the gas too early coming out of turn 4 on lap 2 which planted me in the barrier. Car was horrible after that and when my half squash ball popped out from underneath my brake pedal, it was time to get out of the way of the lappers.

Nice to see a very good sized grid....looks like I've used up my dropped score already

Happens. Spun it later after a commotion with a frozen car, hit the wall badly. Spent two minutes in the pit, then I started and the engine died.

[Craske]

ha well after lots of practice i thought i would do alright here, lost it on the corkscrew type right hander and Ricardo Silva had nowhere to go but into me (really sorry about that buddy; i know it wrecked your race  ) and then had to wait for the nearly the whole field to pass to get of the grass. Was just cruising round after that had a little scrap with spanner who seemed to be struggling a bit and eventually quit and I finishing last.
Nealy got one place higher but hit an out of control car at the last corner which sent me spinning.   

Thanks again to legzy and all for organising, and congrats to the podys.

[Michael Sunny]

Hi to everyone!

This is my first race after long period and I am delighted. Excellent track, good battles.
My apologies to Craske, I didn't manage to go around him after he spun.

Anyway, hope to drive with all of you soon!

first of all a big hello to everybody because i just signed up this afternoon

I'm more of a casual racer that races only for fun, and honestly was a bit 'scared' by the high level of professionalism because i'm not used to it (for example no one talking in the chat before and after the race, ...), being new, my first concern was to not cause any crashed, and all went well so 100% success night.

then i had a crazy race, 25 laps under constant pressure, a big thank you to peter and H@L9000 that waited for a clean opportunity to pass and did not force their way through even if there were a bit faster, that's racing how i like it and i really appreciated that 

after 25 laps i did my first little mistake and legzy could pass me, but really those 25 laps under pressure were not fun at all (in a good way).... i never been so stressed while racing, but I'm very very happy with my performance because i just couldn't drive any better than that.

then on the last lap i made a big noobish mistake, peter crashed out and was almost stopped, but i thought the race was over so i stopped too and didnt pass him .. hahahahaha, wont happen again i promise 

was a bit lucky to finish 8th thanks to some people crashing out and i guess it's gonna be very hard to get more top 10 finished because the level seemed very high, hopefully i'll be back next week if I find out that I can control a GT1 car 

thank you all

[Truetom]

Welcome Sly and I'm glad you had a good race. We need drivers with this attitude, welcome.
I'd also like to welcome Michael Sunny, glad you're back.

I see noone else took Spyker. I don't think this track did the car justice, hope to be more competititve in the next race.
