I'll be there Grin. Got to say this class is far more fun than the 76's, just far more forgiving on the edge.

Well that cars is absolutely horrid, and the track is stupid with its "cut track". Could not believe it.

Sorry Leuven and Jamera (I think) who I arsed up one run on qual for.

That was great fun while it lasted, but guess who put in 14 litres of fuel instead of 14 laps worth? Doh.

(Sorry BigG if I messed up your race when I half spun when the car started coughing.)

Fantastic fun that! Single make racing is the future! Really close, hard racing and had a superb battle after an early spin in the mid pack. Managed to work through and pull away a bit of a gap to 7th for the last 6 laps or so and had a great time chucking the thing into the corners. Was entering the Mercedes complex and flicking the wheel harder and harder on the fast right to see how much sliding and smoke I could create. Didn't like the Healey before tonight but have a new found respect for it after seeing how well it responds to a bit of harsh (but fair) treatment Wink Felt a little like the Escort in the '76 range for chuckability Grin

I love the Healy - was sliding all over the place but they are so catchable. Great fun powersliding out of the last turn every lap leaving a huge cloud of smoke behind.Qualified 8th, finished 4th, same as last race. Had a good battle with Picnic for the entire race, but he was always a little bit faster.

We had some warp during the race. I passed a virtually stationary Rich_A at one point (on my screen anyway), but half a lap later he suddenly appeared a few seconds in front of me. Also saw Leuven stopped in the middle of the track a couple times, I went flying off avoiding him. Will be interesting to see what the server replay shows.

I had some odd bugs tonight. During quali my time remaining indicator timed out from start and before start of race my timer suddenly shot from 20 to 1 sec to go. So I shot onto grid only for my start countdown to be out of sync with everyone else. It looked like everyone shot off when my countdown was on 3 and I dropped to back of grid.

Race was great fun. The funniest moment being Paul's flashing lights overtaking manoeuvre and the fact it actually worked. All rounded off with edgy last lap with Mark that inluded some lighting up of the rears to cloud his view.

Sooner the season starts the better.

Single class racing rules!  Grin

I'd never even driven the Healey before that but it's a very fun car to drive.  One quali lap I was paying too much attention to people's names in the pitlane, suddenly missed my braking point, so I downshifted and threw the car in hoping to scrub the speed off sideways - full opposite lock and it held a treat!  No way on earth that's doable in GTR.  (laptime was pants mindyou, but the car was still in one piece!)

Quali'd in 2nd behind Leuven (as ever!), just couldn't get into the 2:05's however hard I tried.  Then got swamped into 5th off the start, had a great few laps trying to fight back into 2nd which was very very fun in identical cars.  Finally managed it but was about 8 secs behind Leuv, then after avoiding a couple of stationary Leuvens (one on the main straight/curve, the other parked right in the hairpin), and missing my braking point into the hairpin after someone removed the 200m board, finished about 13 secs back.  Definately better racing in single class, actually having a fight for position lasting a few laps rather than a few corners is awesome!

Hope there's more fun races like this in the future, especially in the non-gtc76 category.
