Moderator's Report

There were too many incident points all round in this race, and regardless of how points are picked up, high numbers of IP will trigger a moderators investigation.

Repeated 1x will be dealt with as wilful cutting of the track, and an appropriate penalty for this will be applied in future.

You have been warned.

Another what could have been race for me...

Great fun hounding Robin for the first 1/3 of the race... great fun.
Mike's little incident, wrecked my car ! Sad One of those things Mike!  Wink
Thought I'd do an early stop and then not loose much time.... looked good for a while but then the tyres starting going off and I was struggling!
Add in Oily and I having our usual race nudge!  Grin then I was lucky to finish at all! Grin
Loved the combo, shame about the poor turnout  Huh

well that turned out to be a big surprise  Grin 


first off Qualifying, I was struggling to get a fast clean lap  could only get a time around my practice time then I went out to try and get one more lap in as I was in 6th or 7th  place on the grid at this point  I knew the time would be tight to get a fast lap in and it was part way round the chequered flag came out, the lap felt good so I kept my foot down and hoped it would let me finish the lap which it did .just as i was slowing down after the line it popped me into the pit and i saw the countdown for the grid ...............I honestly hadn't taken note of my qualy time  as I went right to garage to load my race set-up decided to run full tank first stint and part fill/4 tire pit-stop , anyway loaded the set-up and typed in "gla" then hit the join button only then did I realise just how good a lap that last lap was when i saw the line up in the "F3" gizmo I  was in 3rd place   eek

as for the race everything seemed to fall right into place I saw in my mirrors the start of the turn 1 problems and thought  I best take advantage of that and try and stick with the leader Gary as I was in 2nd ....... I found my self  doing a half decent job at sticking with Gary he wasn't pulling away as fast I had expected, then came the first time of passing the Mustangs, and a few Corvettes that had been in the pits as usual I was very nervous and because of that I lost a bit of ground on Gary because I was taking to long being to careful,
then I went past a Corvette that had spun didn't realise right off that it Gary having a problem so I found myself in 1st  Grin

rest of the first stint went reasonable well apart form a full 360 spin due to a complete brain fade realising I was in first and had a chance to actually win the race  Roll Eyes come pit stop time i wasn't sure who or haw far 2nd place was behind me as all i had on F3 was blue mustangs, pit stop went well no drama or penalty back out on track I saw it was Simon in 2nd and he was only 11 seconds down  Shocked so I ran hard the rest of the race, every time i got over the 11 seconds I would end up catching a Mustang just at the wrong time   lose a bit of time and be back to 10/11 seconds in front Roll Eyes but I kept at it driving as smooth as i could trying to time catching the Mustangs at easy places to pass .this didn't happen all the time I remember one time I came onto a small group of 3 or 4 at the end of a lap and they where racing hard by looks of it going through the last 2 or 3 corners 2 cars wide, I just had to sit patiently  at what seemed a crawl round the last turns and just watch them race .boy them Mustangs looked unstable slipping and sliding  ;

all went well for the rest of the race Simon fell back a bit more over the last few laps so i was able to stop be a little less nervous for the last few laps and enjoy crossing the line in 1st place  Grin



have to say a big thanks to the Mustang drivers on the whole they did a super job at letting me pass without incident and that couldn't have been easy sometimes as they looked pretty darned hard to keep under control in some corners. talk about some drifting going on it did look good guys  Grin Grin Grin

and thanks to all who turned up and giving me my first win { and more than lightly last Grin Grin I ain't gona be that lucky again Wink}    here at .simracing.org

see ya next race

Yeah as Martin says, for some bizarre reason we just can't get enough of each other  Kiss. Sorry mate, if I don't laugh I'll cry! I'm out of things to say about it  Huh.

Was a strange race for me, in practice I'd been comfortably running 36's with a best of a mid 35, however that seemed to be impossible yesterday and even my better laps were only 37's.

Had a miracle escape at turn 1, hit Adam quite hard (unlucky mate - great pace in qually though!!) on the left corner as he span across me, that then fired me into Mike with the right but somehow my steering continued to point the right way!? Brief panic as I'm lying sideways across the track just hoping nobody's going to clout me again but thanks to some impressive evasive action there was no further incident!

Rejoined behind everyone but ended up stuck behind the Mustangs just having to be patient - I was surprised too around here, I'd mistakenly thought overtaking would be a doddle but it's those fast, single line corners that make it incredibly tricky. No fault of the Stangs but I lost soooo much time having to be patient. Aside from the twisties, I reckon Road Atlanta was easier to pass on with it's big stops.

Anyway with the shunt and traffic, by the end of lap 1 I was just coming on to the start/ finish as the leaders were on their way down Hangar Straight, but never one to give up hope in the beauty of the enduro format - a lot can happen over 90 mins!

Started trying to chase my practice pace in the next few laps and convinced I could find it i soon ended up giving it plenty through Bridge and then getting on the brakes for priory a millisecond before the car had settles and it caused me to slide slightly to the right. Briefly introduced myself to the gravel and duly took on board the warning that ragging the hell out of my Vette wasn't the way to finish. Other than the unfortunate dink with Martin around the half way mark and a couple of wide corner entries, the rest of the race was mistake free and just as I'd begun to think fourth was as good as it was going to get, Christmas comes early and I see Gazza's wounded pink (sorry purple  Wink) Vette on the exit of Becketts.

Could tell he was struggling either with damage or tyres but I have to say mate - that was a pretty good pace for a bent car still! Kept the pressure up until the end. Knowing nothing was certain with the Stangs in the mix, I knew I had to make my lapping really decisive to eek out some kind of buffer (which also happens to be really good fun) hoping he wouldn't get quite as a nice a run and with a pinch of good fortune it worked out well.

Really pleased with the 90 mins - I'm finding these a lot less gruelling these days and the Vette's balance is where I want it in terms of handling which gives that all important confidence in traffic.

Anyway the whole thing was made even sweeter seeing Raimo pick up the win with Dario second for a delicious green one-two  Grin

Wd Ian and Simon on fine drives and unlucky Gazza - that qually pace was quite something!

Thanks to the Stang guys, great driving all round and to Adam for organising another cracking race, hope to see a few more next time out - not sure if the Rugby and Carling Cup Final had anything do with the lower numbers this week perhaps?

Hope to see some of you at Sebring on Sunday for some strictly Stang action at the opening round of the RoC season Smiley

My best race of the season so far, no reset, and no accidents and it helped the Team move back in to 4th in the championship.

I seemed to think moving to a new wheel and pedal would make me faster, but I still seem to be a fair bit off the pace.   Was hoping to try and keep up with Pete, but race pace was to slow.

Still a fun race, and always plenty of cars overtaking me so had to try and keep focused.
