UKPnG Season 6 - Goodwood (Circuit) - Dec 30

[Clive Loynes]

As I feel that I have already done enough laps of this place to last a lifetime I will probably skip practice and arrive some time during qually.

Please note that the Daytona Coupe is now correctly categorised as a Group 3 car.

[Mark J]

still not sure i'll run the GT40, its just hard work over a race distance. I cant get any lower than mid 26's and yet i have seen an AI car do it in 1:22's !!    I tried just about every spring combo and it makes no difference.

Think i would have more fun in a gr3 car, will run some more laps later and decide.

[Mark Craggs]

I think I should be able to join in now Clive. Have managed to steer everybody away from tomorrow for visits so far.

Good to see you here Mark 

Had another blast in the GT40 this afternoon and I think I must have forgotten how to drive it  Could hardly get a lap in 

I'll have a look around at a Gr3 car I think.

That's great news Mark.

Hopefully John will have created a bit of space also.

Changed my mind - will be there tonight for this one.

Don't know the track and have not yet practiced one single lap  

[Mark J]

Sorry guys, not going to make it - still up to my ears in pipes and plumbing fittings and the girlfriend wants to see the New Year in with running water in her kitchen, so I'll be spending the evening with my head under the sink.

Have a good race and A Happy New Year to you all .

[Wiltshire Tony]

Lost connection Lap 2 GRRRR

[Wiltshire Tony]

so I'll be spending the evening with my head under the sink.

Shouldn't you be doing the plumbing tho? 

Happy New Year Phil

Not quite the Goodwood epic i was hoping for with measly 13 runners 

Qualied 6th? Ran well for a while in the race until i clouted a tyre wall and busted my suspension meaning i gradually lost places to Matt and Clive etc. Nursed it home to my pitstop whilst running 7th but the repairs made for a lengthy stop and i rejoined in about 9th or 10th and 1lap down on top 6 
Then set my quickest set of race laps trying to catch the two guys ahead, which i managed and then with 10mins (or so i thought) to go, i hit the same flipping tyre wall and damaged my suspension a second time.

Kept wondering why race was not ending when an hour was up and then got told it was 60 laps not 60mins ! (me bad, didnt read the post correctly). Unfortunately i am suffering a neck injury at the moment, making long events painful so i had to reluctantly park up whilst in clear 7th place and retire as couldnt manage another 20 laps in an understeery beast.  :'(

Well done to those that turned up, and congrats to the podium. 

Shame those cheaty Elans were allowed in the contest 

Happy New year to all

[Mark Craggs]

Connection dropped at about lap 46 Really disappointed.

Looked like you had a bad connection as well Tudor Bad luck Mark and Tony as well.

Many thanks to the organisers. Really enjoying my own little race until then.

Happy new year to all.

[Wiltshire Tony]

Replay and results now posted.

Happy New Year everyone 

[goldtop]

Bad luck chaps.

Wasn't sure if I'd make this or not, so decided to go for the easy ride in the Elan. Unfortunately PnG was having none of it and after numerous cheaty boots with the Elan and a couple of ctds I had to take a tank  

Despite my lack of enthusiasm for these cars, the race was actually shaping up to be good fun. After an early visit to the scenery I fought back for some close racing with Clive and MJ. Unfortunately RL took over as I had to abandon the race to answer the door.

HNY and see you all in 2012
