UKPnG Season 3 - Monza (GP 1955-71) - Sep 16

[b_1_rd]

Sorry Alex didn't notice you were slowing down so much until too late.  Having little experience in these tanks I was concentrating on trying to stay on track.

And I wasn't full speed btw.  I think I know to slow down and be slightly cautious under yellow, just wasn't expecting so much!

Anyway. C ya around.

[Geoffers]

Yeh, bit of a disaster this race. The three cars in front of me all got sideways onto the 2nd banking, I lifted off to avoid ploughing into them & the car just understeered straight into the barriers! Slid to the bottom & got stuck. Thanks PR for trying to push me free, I got going in reverse but got stuck again trying to turn around so gave up.

Beginning to get a bit dissillusioned with P&G. I think us lesser lights need some easier tracks!

Geoffers, when I saw you there I tried to push you to the track, fortunately you made it, but then I got stuck exactly where you were... tried for 2 minutes get out of there without success. DNF!
It's a nice track layout and I was realy forward to this one, it's a shame that this track have a bug that doesn't let us out of the inside banking area. Ridiculous, finishing a race like this.
I continue saying that I still like GTL more than P&G due to a few reasons.

Cheers

I wish I could do the GTL races here, but the change to Mondays isn't good for me.

Thanks for the response. Think the banking caught us all out by the looks of it 

Am always a bit jealous when I see you GPL fanatics race on such wonderful historic tracks like Monza 10k and Targa Floria.

Hope to see you around for some fine racing Steve!

Cheers.

ps. Congrats to the finishers!

So come do some GPL too!

Had my normal lack luster performance in the tin tops - but thanks to the banking I managed 4th! Best result yet in P&G  

Think I owe Lorenzo an apology as I clipped him in one of the banking pileups - he hit the barriers on the outside and slide back down towards an already rotating car. I backed off but didn't dare brake and think I gave him a very slight extra nudge  


Oh, and do as Steve says Alex - GPL's still very alive and kicking  

[phspok]

Crying shame that. Was a track/car combo that needed some practice or there would be many surprises for the unwary.
I made an uncharacteristic good start, lifted, but still gave Clive a shove to get him going  
The 1st lap was wild, I lifted enough to be able to steer round two bunches of spinning cars, following CLive
who then stuck it down onto the apron on the next lap. Ended up with just 4 of us after Steve Bird dropped out.
GR doing straniero   laps, with Manteos trying to hunt him, and me trying to keep up as best I could
FMG 7 secs or so behind running almost identical times to me, managed to keep him at bay up to the end.
That could and should have been a hoot, Hindsight being a wonderfull thing, some less awkward cars might have given a better race. Those L88 were something though, not sure quite what they were, but they were definately "something"

Shhh! I actually have a copy of GPL here on my desk and it keeps beckoning me...

I would really love to join you but am afraid that 1 race a week (praccy included) is all I can manage time wise.

Thanks for the invite

Neither for me.

A big round of  for Matt who has seemlessly taken over the server duties for P&G and well deserved  to Goldtop for his past services.

I'm sure Matt meant to say that the results and replay are now posted 

[phspok]

ROTFLOL  
Err thanks Tony. Yes Boys and Girls,
The results are now posted somewhere in the forest over the banking  
and the Replay is knocking around somewhere... now where did I put it   ah yes Replays!

[Mike Miller]

Sounds like it was a tough race guys. Someone said it best when they said the track/car combination required some practice before coming to the event. I'll tone down the challenges next season. I'll try to focus on easier car/track combinations although, I will have to throw in at least 1 duesy.

[Clive Loynes]

That was all a bit silly from my point of view.

I have no problem with the car/track combo but I spent so long trying to get PnG up and running after it had died on Tuesday night that I hadn't ever had time to do any full tank running.  As a result, the first time I tried to get around the second banking at full chat I think that it must have bottomed.  I then left the track via the top of said banking.

Next time my PnG goes belly up could someone please send me a message to remind me that it is XD that provides all the in-car tyre info and the like?  It wasn't until I encountered Matt trying to chuck me off the server before the race that he gave me that last vital piece of information.  I had forgotten all about XD and had spent hours trying to coax Motec into telling me what I needed to know.

Well done to all the finishers.

Pardon me my ignorance Mike, but what does duesy mean ?
