Just set up a race against the AI. It was "exilerating"

Results and replay now posted. The reason the headlights do not work on the Porsche 908-03 is simple. It has no lights

That's why I said that in the chat. If I look at the "standing charts" I find out that the 908/3 is not integrated in the "GTL Group P3.0" class. Race report will follow later.

My race followed what seems to me a developing pattern. Practice and qualification set new PBs and then during the race circumstance cause me a DNF.
Made a good start and started to pull away from the less powerful cars when got involved in a collision going up the mountain in the second tighter left hander. As I exited Mark and a yellow car were blocking the track and I didn't even have time to react giving Mark a good old thump. After that I found the car was understeering, the hard way thumping the mountain side, which made the car worse until I went off at the left hander at the end of Conrod straight and made a right mess of things. Went into pits to get things fixed but my pit crew had gone home and that was the end of my race.
PS
Had to quickly finish this post originally as, she who must be obeyed, gave the ready call. As she'd spent half the morning preparing and cooking lunch I had to depart rapidly otherwise I'd have been in the soft stuff.
This curtailing meant I omitted my apologies to Mark. In one of my crashes along the mountain before Conrod Straight I was broad side trying to turn around and collected him. I think it was on this occasion I took off over the hill crest resulting in my big nasty.

Strange as it may seem but I thought this track really suited the cars. I loved driving that Lola Maserati as it seemed to have so much power on the straights. Unfortunately I did collide with a lot of the scenery on the twisty bits which slowly reduced the resale value of my vehicle. What with huge tyre wear (and I was on on hards) and my in-race aero restyling efforts the car was not guaranteed to stay on that narrow tarmac strip and so it was that on the very last lap I wondered off into the countryside. Everyone was blisteringly quick especially Eiffel who I had for company for a lot of the race. Well done everyone who turned out, I think Legzy will have to be surgically separated from that Healey soon, try something else mate, go on. And boy don't those Chevron's motor Oh and huge commiserations to Geoffers whose car was heaven bound when he discoed by the looks of it as I passed underneath it on the long straight

With very little pracci and a track I've avoided like the plague never driven before, I was quite surprised how nice these cars were round here. Decided on the Chevron BMW and just used my Interlagos setup with lengthened gears which seemed ok except in the tight section. Used quali to fine tune my race setup and ended up with lengthened gears and much stiffer arbs which helped. Enjoyed driving the Chev but didn't really have anyone to race with so keeping concentration was the main concern, which I mostly managed ok. I had my tabs switched on, so I had a bit of warning and just about avoided Matt and Eifel (I think) in the middle of the track after their coming together which woke me up. These events deserve and need a bigger turnout. As it is, the 3 class format makes it difficult and confusing for me to choose a car and prepare properly for a race for which I don't know who will turn up and in what class.

Perhaps view each event as training for the Le Mans season finale.
But your right, a few more names would be nice.

Tony, the 908/3 doesn't show up in the P3.0 section of the championship points. Sorry, Eifel has already mentioned that. Doh! And congrats to Eifel, GT & Matt.

Still those of us who hoped for better will have a chance to redeem ourselves on 1 Aug in the Bathurst Season 11 3 Car Challenge. CYA there to rejoin battle.

Unofficial LapChart(Tested) First an apology for the technical issues at the start. I pushed for the McLaren and caused some conn problems. Should have read the announ more carefully... my mistake Wanted to drive the MacL to see if I could tame it. Messed with the setup so it didn't oversteer when I even looked at the wheel but forgot to test with full fuel load... so I buttom-ed out hugely at the hilly straight At the first part Legzy entertained me with some driving leassons in the Healey and then it was 'just' keeping the car on track. Saw some great overtaking manoeuvre by WT who went past Legzy's car on the grass chicaning a tree Lovely cars, good series.. what more can I say than congrats to Eifel with his first victory! But your right, a few more names would be nice.
Noticed your good looking announcement posters. Maybe we can draw some attention to this series with a banner beneath the posts?
