UKGPL Season 21 (2011) GT - Le Mans (Sarthe) - Sep 4

[Hristo Itchov]

Because this is exacly what it will be...

I suspect its possible for me to fall asleep at that long straight...so try not to stay too long behind me, ok? Might be dangerious...

Take the Porsche and I won't be able to stay too long behind you. 

[s2173]

Other cars wont let me fall asleep... naughty cars.

So what car was free for blue team? You might take Rainer in if you want...

[happyal]

I was due to take the Mirage at this race, so that will be free.

[vosblod]

Hmm not a good idea to race when I have the kids on my own. One reset and a pit put me well back then 'daddy I fell over and hurt my back running around' when she should be in bed
End of race, hope some of you made the long haul.

screen freeze  

i dont understand using tracks that are known of disco issues.

Bad luck Tim....
I was really enjoying that upto about lap 6 when I found my concentration starting to give way.... lap 7 saw several mistakes, lap 8 saw the car a write-off... I still had my shift-R in hand but there would be no point in taking it - the car would go on forever but my body certainly wont....

[BadBlood]

OK - I suck in GT's - it is official. I found it hard to break 4min in the Mirage. My twin girl's eleventh birthday and no time to get on board - couldn't remember the track so I was learning in qually and just wanted to keep out of the way. Did that OK generally but the Mirage on default setup was horrid to drive. It was hard to keep it straight on the Mulsanne let alone corner nicely. Never mind. Drove to survive and so I did until the server disconnected me and immediately offered to reconnect... <sigh>

Never mind 13 laps better than expected. Go Reds...

[EvilClive]

looks like the server dropped me and about 3 laps later got a screen freeze   

[Phil Thornton]

Saw a big crash at the end of the Mulsanne on lap 1.  I managed to avoid the wreckage and picked up a lot of places.  I was still thinking about it (and smiling to myself) when I got to the tight left hander at Indianapolis and I stupidly put a wheel on the grass which caused me to spin and end up beached on the sand .  Managed to reset after the whole field had gone by and then I had to do my 10 second stop and go.  By that time I was dead last by quite a margin so I set off in pursuit.  The Mirage has a great top speed (got 114 mph in slip stream) so I managed to pull quite a lot of places back (up to 6th place) until I got discoed with half a dozen others with about 12 laps to go.

I really enjoyed that race.  There was plenty of action for me and I liked the authenticity of the GT cars at Le Mans.  Pity about the disco.  Grats to whoever finished if anyone

The Mirage has a great top speed (got 114 mph in slip stream)

That's not great! 

[Phil Thornton]

The Mirage has a great top speed (got 114 mph in slip stream)

That's not great! 

LOL  I meant 214mph   

[vosblod]

Managed to reset after the whole field had gone by and then I had to do my 10 second stop and go.  

Oh dear just realised I did a SnG but not a 10 seconder. I knew you could only do one reset but forgot that. Slapped hands time.

While I'm in the confessional I was really confused whether the car to the right on the warm up lap was ahead or behind. I went ahead then saw it was Phil on Prib and knew he had quallied ahead. I dropped to the right to let him back in front so no harm done. Apologies anyway.

[FullMetalGasket]

I was doing that in clear air Phil 

Until the mass disco at any rate 
I had that one in the bag until then, even being kind to the Mk2's engine and letting H catch, me I'd have finished about 30 seconds clear 

[b_1_rd]

Shame it all ended like it did with many freezes and discos.

I suddenly found myself leading from being in 9th or something like that, was trying to figure out what was going on and flipped the car.  It came to rest the right way up and was drivable so carried on but was down on power so did a reset.  About a mile later I was thinking of sending a message to whoever was left, which looked like 3 of us at that point to see if they wanted to carry on, but before I did anything about it I was so distracted I ran the car off track again!   the engine was on fire but the car still moved! I moved forward 5 meters and the screen froze!

Justice I guess as I would have been out anyway as I doubt the car wouldn't have continued much further.

cheers for now!

[BadBlood]

I've put up the results for what they are worth but I have not added the correct teams. Wait to see what Clive wants to do... Makes the points table look a bit funny.
