Moderator's Report

Only four drivers made it to the finish in this eventful race. And only Dave managed to stay on the same lap, but only just, as the winner Hristo after Tim, who challenged Hristo until he managed to put his car upside down with four laps to go, had to give up.

KingHiro took the final podium, and also Fulvio made it to the finish.

There were no incidents were reported.

Feeling quite pleased with myself for a change.  Grin

After getting over the initial disappointment of realising I wasn't actually that quick (should have already accepted this!), following Tim and Hristo revealing their fantastic speed and seeing several others were also a bit faster, I managed to pull something out of the bag.

Made a good start but played it fairly cautious and managed to safely make up a place or two.  Everyone that I saw was also driving watchfully and impressively made it through the inital challenging turns in one piece.  Then on the approach to the tightening bumpy right hander (where Clive got stuck in a bale) I managed to half spin putting the nose on the inside which sent me to complete the 360, but continue after losing several places.

Spent the next few laps catching and passing Al, Fulvio and the King, who all thankfully gave enough room and then I settled into third position.  Clearly H and Tim were in another league, so I kept an eye on Kinghiro behind me and aimed for consistency.  However he was not going to make it easy, was clearly pushing very hard and kept me very much awake!  I pushed as hard as felt fairly safe and kept the gap fairly constant until his incident gave some welcome breathing space.  After a few more laps I was exasperrated to see he still hadn't given up and closed ground once again!!    Anyway, managed to hold it together and with a lap or two to go also inherited 2nd place from the unfortunate Tim and even managed to finish on the same lap as H which gave a little satisfaction in itself!

Congrats to Hristo for a fine win and to Tim for also having such tremendous pace.  In awe!

Sandbagging??!!  lol  I was being absolutely honest pre race, in saying that the best lap I had managed was a  high 1:54. I had not raced or driven this circuit before Friday night and although I memorised the sequence of bends realtively quickly, dealing with those bumps gave me a real headache.

With a choice between the Lotus barge or the BRM barge, I chose the Lotus purely because I had a setup from somewhere else that had worked ok once upon a time. It did not work at Monsanto  Undecided but you gotta start somewhere so.....

I tried all sorts of ride heights and suspension settings to try and smooth out the potholes but with no great success, so concentrated on getting a race setup that was half comfortable.
Prib promised a potential 1:55 up until a short session on Sunday, when suddenly a 1 :54 was possible but 1:57's were reality!!! Obviously it was more to do with my approach to the track rather than the actual setup.
I actually rasied a few gear ratios to try and tame the sudden smack of torque that was throwing the tail of the Lotus out in the most inopportune places and it helped.

I was feeling reasonably confident of scoring a few points in the race. I did not expect to match Hristo's pace but thought I might have a chance against Tim (and the McLaren of Hristo might just struggle for sheer grunt if I was lucky) Early qually was encouraging with Hristo posting a blistering pole time and Tim not far behind, Goran was fast but a 3rd or 4th grid slot looked possible. Then a few of you posted some quick laps with about 5 mins to go!!

Went out for a banzai lap and promptly sent the car into the scenery.....tried another  and did the same.....time running out!!!  OK take it very careful on the out lap and brake early for every bend on the 1st flying lap. "nd lap with about a minute to go and nailed it. I actually improved my previus best by almost 2 secs I think to post a 1:53 and 2 rd spot.
The start almost went t*ts up when Hrsito bogged down in front of me and I had to jink out around him with the ass of the Lotus trying its best to overtake the front wheels!! But I was in 2nd and right behind Tim's Brab.
Hrsito some 2 secs back and he was not closing noticeably ( craft sod is playing it cool and saving his engine!!), Tim was pulling us along at a jolly pace so I was content to sit in for the ride. The trouble is when I relax too much my mind wanders and yes I missed my braking point for the hairpin by about 25mtrs. That was just ( only just) enough to take me slightly wider than was wise and find yet another bump, frantic pedal work and gear changing almost saved it, but the rear wheel hooked those sticky magnetic bales and my race was over!!!
I was really really miffed! Undecided

Grats to Hristo and to Dave and Tom.....commiserations to Tim.

First, thanks Tim for starting the server, I just got Anderstorp when I tried to. Also, I am sorry that I did not post the "new" PW here, I should have, it just slipped my mind.

I *successfully* scrolled the chat for an IP, but was apparently not a V.I.P!!! Huh . . . *EDIT*
As for the IP-address, you can always find that in the Race announcement post, if you ever should need it again.
Race List =         iGOR
Server =            UKGPL_T7_2
IP Address =      62.149.202.168
Race date =       18-01-2011
Time =              21.00 UK time
Track =             Monsanto Park 1959
Variant =           66F1 3L engines
Damage Model =  PRO
Qualifying time = 35 minutes. Do not start until 30 min left.
Race length =     Pro Long (26 laps)
   
My own race was way too short, only nearly 5 laps, then I parked my car in a haybale, not that I was the only one but still it sucks. It was purely out of lack of focus, I was in 3rd position and had like 10 sec to 4Th and Tim and H in front so I just took it a little, well, a little not-keeping-the-pace-and-focus-up, and my mind wondering. I mean what can I say other that I should have learned by now that take it safe is not the way to go if you like to stay in the race.

I was watching the rest of the race from different cars and I was really impressed by the way H drove the whole race on the limit, or so it seemed to me anyway. I mean even the last laps, after Tim`s very-sad-to-watch-misfortune, allmost a lap ahead of second position still he did 1.52`s.

Grats to H for the win, Dave and KingHiro for podium and Fulvio for finishing.

My final 3 laps were within .2 of a second of my FL - think thats what killed me though as I didn't have space to correct my error hammer

Trouble is I wasn't actually pushing when it happened  Roll Eyes

Wha'dya think guys , was he pushed or did he fall  Roll Eyes

There must be a moral here as I too did my FL and a PB on the final lap of the recent W Glenn race . I to was "taking it easy" maybe we should all take a pre race tranquilliser or 2  Wink

I don't know about you, but I always like to try get my fastest lap on the final lap. It usually works, but it's a probably a reckless thing to do.  Roll Eyes

I was sober for Monsanto - but had inebriated myself before the previous two races.
Drink driving is obviously preferable in GPL world as I finished both those rather well  Grin
