AWWW I love this track :-( why do bosses have to take a holiday

[spanner]

Not too bad a combo, tried a couple of cars out and first timed lap was a 1.29 in each, i'm sure i could get a bit better tho. Viper does eat its tyres though.

[Truetom]

Viper's so understeary you can't spin even on Corkscrew.

[goldtop]

Tried the Porsche, Vertigo and Lotus which are all within a second of each other. As usual Porsche is slightly the quicker and more entertaining for me in the high 48s when I get it right. Shame to hear that the Viper has trouble here 

[goldtop]

Doh. For some reason my brain had calculated 24 laps and I forgot to check fuel before the start of the race. Had to pit and couldn't get in the right position to refuel so eventually quit.

Had a nice battle with nsfast. Vertigo was quicker through the corners but my pork had better traction/acceleration on exit which kept me in front.

[SRW]

exciting race but i lost chunks of time with mistakes, really struggling to get my braking right in to the corkscrew

Results and replay in the usual places

[spanner]

Very disapointed, i seem to struggle in these shorter races and push too hard at times. Keeping a steady 3rd behind H@L and Manteos but i'd got to the stage if just trying different approaches to the 2nd RHer as i was trying noto to have to down change to 3rd mid corner but i drifted too wide and got a wheel on the dirt on the exit which spat me towards the inside. Decided i actually wanted to complete a distance for once so tried limping back to the pits and began a fit back through the field!

Well, i was alap down on everyone so thanks for letting me through, and i finally got up behind SRW 3/4 into the race, finally someone to overtake proper and he fell off and gave it to me!

Have to say i enjoyed that, and i've normally not got on with the GT3 porka.
