Regretably I've been feeling carp all day so reluctantly I'll be sitting this one out. Which is a real shame as I found it made the Donny track come alive like no other sim has.
Anyway, enjoy. I'll be spending my night on the sofa with a single 15 yo.

Sorry to her you're not feeling well but I really think you should keep quiet about what you'll be doing instead

Great fun in the 1st race, dicing with Picnic, then tyres went off near the end and I was all over the road I can't get the hang of the braking in these things, Silverstone was fine. Zand and here the fronts would lock then the back tries to spin, fell off too many times, Legzy and Steve Bird passed, I gave chase but was struggling to make it go where I wanted, and thumped Steve up the bum. 2nd race was leading, and had big front lock up again into final chicane, kept as tight as I could but still got in Pete's way sending him off, not looking forward to another out of control session so parked it before I got annoyed with it and did any more damage.

Not me in the 2nd race, I was dead last after being put in the pit wall at the start Enjoyed our battle in the 1sr, you were obviously faster in the tow etc. so I was happy to see your rubber go off

That was a bit of shame tonight. First race, I was delighted with my start and pace. I couldn't do any better. Second race promised much. Think nsfat and a.n.other clashed near start and let me through them before T1. Then a someone come steaming up the inside of me into T1 and I thought "what the hell are you doing?", when he slowed it nicely and slipped pass cleanly. Great pass Bill (note to self-you can brake much later into T1). Then, sadly, all the ones in front slipped off when it could have been a great race. There's always next week Nice to see 1 or 2 more, especially the Coopers. Just need perhaps two more. How about it Mike, Spanner et al

Very much enjoyed both races tonight (after a disappointing night at SilverStone) & felt at one with throwing the car round again Actually very disappointed with 4th in the 2nd race, I gifted 1st, 2nd & 3rd all their passes as i went wide onto the grass for all of them . Managed to have some corking dices with Cosworth for about 10laps as we for 2nd spot... till I blew it. Once I let 3rd through, I was just making too many errors to catch as I tried too hard. Remained a great night though & good to see team mates Tinman & Oilseal after missing them for months maybe half a year!

Not me in the 2nd race, I was dead last after being put in the pit wall at the start Sorry Pete, I think that may have been my fault. I got off to a very good start in Race 2 and closed up quickly behind Legzy. I moved to the left to overtake not realising sombody else was there. We both ended up in the pit wall. The rest of the race was a bit of a struggle with the bent suspension.

Enjoyed race 1, although still too far off the pace got lucky with the places I made up and a bit of close racing thrown in. No worries about the tap phspok, all part of it Didn't bother with race 2 with the reverse grid thing, but looking at the lap times it seems I'd have been a bit closer to some than race 1.
