UKPnG Season 4 Pre-season Handicapped - Bathurst - Sep 9

[Mike Miller]

Sometimes you hear some garbled sounds from the mechanics if your pit space is currently in use by another car. If that happens, run around another lap and try calling for your pit again.

I rather get a good crew and pay them a nice salary with daily training. 

[Mike Miller]

I probably wont be able to finish the race tonight, but I'll try to get to the pit stop. I have to go to Brooklyn to pickup a couple cars for my in-laws.

b'ah, turned up without any praccy on this tough demanding track as thought i was out tonight. Tried to get some laps under my belt in practise and qually but really needs plenty of laps to get setup and lines quick enough.

Struggled around near the back, getting upto 11th at one point but then lost the car in that 'too tricky' tight downhill slalom section and bounced up on the barriers. Wasnt really in the mood for it tonight oddly and the track doesnt appeal to me that much for some reason.

Really Sorry Clive I was slighty put off by a Mustang that was up against the wall before turn one. I was actually going slowly into t1 but couldn't stop in the end. I was still on the brakes when I pushed your car round. I waited for you and didn't see you. Thought you had given up.

So poor race for me. I waited for Clive who didn't turn up to pass me. Then I saw him later on behind me and let him past? I then got a rear wheel on the grass at the end of conrod straight. I started praying I wasn't going to collect Clive again and spun past the rear of his Vette. After that things were going much better and I began concentrating on trying to catch the main field up again. Car felt good and I was confident I would easily see the finish line at least. That was until I clipped the wall in the mountain, killed the engine and ended up in the fields. Think I may have turned in a little to early and lost the back end a bit. Certainly very surprised to end the race where I did. Everywhere else yes!

Anyway thanks again for the race. Bathurst is probably my favourite track and I really enjoyed it while it lasted. I now know where half the MARA drivers are hiding as well Once more apologies to Clive. I think I might get kicked out the Instanbul team at this rate.

Very tough race on a track that after three races, I'm still not sure if I like

But this was certainly the most fun outing, had a good early fight with PR till he sadly went over the wall
Was looking like the same sort of thing with Geoffers.... but he went the same way

Was very sorry to later miss my braking point (by 2 miles), picked up far to much speed trying to get back to the track, then couldn't stop  to rejoin & came straight back on & into Simon's way . Very sorry Simon. I'd have followed you round at that point but you went straight in the pits & while I was waiting to see you recover, I almost took out another driver for only watching you

Congrats to all who finished.

Results and replay possibly in the usual places..

I love this track, though Iit always bites me eventually, and it did, Was on for a possible 2nd place, but was not
expecting to be able to hold Ade off up to the end, and he snuck through as I went wide.
Then went over a wall and back , car righted itself but was facing the wrong way! managed to get it round, but
gave Guiseppe a fright as he went past, sorry for that, like your own spin earlier, you just have to do something
as best you can.

LOL  

I don't know.  You invite your mates around for a race and look what happens.  

I knew I was having a bad race but didn't realise how much help I had received.  LOL

Don't worry about it Mark.  And the only way out of the Istanbul squad is in a box!


I was slow away from T1 because I didn't spot that I was in neutral and was reving the nuts of the thing and wondering why I wasn't moving.

I managed a few laps before I binned it along Skyline.  

I hadn't practiced this car/track combination and it showed.

So I sloped off to Istanbul and made a mess of some practice there too.  


PS  Simon rang me after the race and was quite "graphic" in his description of the "censored" who had launched himself across the track at him.  

This was compounded by the fact that when he pitted, the pit crew wanted to keep him there until everyone else had finished the race.  I think there were so few cars by then that all the other pit crews were lined up to have a go at him too!

Lol, Thanks Clive.

Ah that explains why I found myself pushing you round the corner. I thought I had got away with the initial tap and breathed a big sigh of relief. I was surprised to end up spinning you out.

I shall try avoid the same move at Istanbul I'm likely to be behind so the danger is there
