Ok, found it. Thanks

From somwhere I thought it was gonna be fez vs brabs. Anyway I got 15 mins qual and was off fine. Had some hot moments last laps with pasquale Milano who was faster than me but also did his share of mistakes wich let me come in front of him a few times. It was fun . gz Gpfun

It was but they took pity on us - sort of

It was but they took pity on us - sort of  

You're wrong, mate
As for me, my Lotus Personal Best is 1.25.8 (some 3 years old), so my practice laptime is pretty tied to my abilities (even if pribluda last night was showing a nice -to me- 25.4 Best Combined for the very first time... maybe I should insist for a few days to get some ranking improvement...  ).
As for my teammates, I can witness they were eager to do well, if some had troubles it was just lack of acclimatization with Lotus.
No mercy at all, as you may see

LOL Lorenzo. I would say 'see you on track' but I would need binoculars

[bernie]

Just for the record , I thought the GPFUN boys very quick and very fair fighters , what bit I saw of them that is.

Unfortunately I didnt have the car livery upgrade installed so was confronted by a whole field of green and yellow Loti 

I too understood the car choice for GPFUN was Ferrari's, so didnt bother with the install because I thought I could tell a Ferrari from a Cosworth DFV from a mile behind , which is where I spent most of my short time on track   

Really enjoyed the race though , in spite of the result 

Big thanks to all for organising

LOL Paul, after all...Binoculars are always better than a Telescope !!!  

I would like to think next time we all will use the slowest car instead of the fastest one. It should be more spectacular.  

[BadBlood]

You can have ANY 65 chassis - we will take the 69's...

What a exaggeration !!! 

[Raoni Frizzo]

I was having a nice race, running in a good 5th place, but in the mid-race my engine started smoking. I decided to stay on track and try to bring the car until the end to make some more ponits, but someone had a spin and crashed into me when I was already off the track. It really wasn't a lucky day

My qualy was really bad. Got an 11th place, so far from my PB (1:27,1) and almost lost the start due to a phone call. Anyway, had so much fun in nice battles with Fulvio, Andrea and Tom

Congratulations to GP FUNners for the win (very impressive speed by the leaders! ) and especially for the organizers and drivers, for the fun. It's always very nice to make that interleague races.

This was a great idea...less fun for me in reality, but only cos I had a bad day. Not sure why I went off at the first corner, but it set the scene for the first half of the race, where I had to overtake the same drivers - had a couple of offs avoiding warpers.

The second half of the race was much more fun, as I tried to chase down the pack. Got too excited when I saw 2 red cars, and lost it, but recovered again - perhaps my luckiest race ever in terms of # of offs vs damage incurred.

We should definitely do this again...after a little cat herding practice  

Thanks to all involved

So the liveries worked then???   I assumed they didn't since all the cars I saw were green and yella.  Installed the skins, but assumed with the change of server and all that, that this was all ditched.  I had issues joining via VROC and joined direct in GPL...worked though...for the first time...perhaps that's why all the cars looked the same to me.

Echo Clive's thanks to BadBlood (Paul), good perseverance.  I have to admit I almost bailed at one point, it seemed an impossible task and perhaps wrongly I thought the GP Funners were out of patience.  I'd really like to do this again sometime, I may even make it past lap 2 

Bob.

First of all many many thanks to all the people that arranged such fun event but, amongst them, a BIG thank to Paul for lending us the server at the very last minute and to LucaV to setting it with the liveries and to call us to join it!
 

My race wasn't so exciting, as Sky threw me out of the first turn: these are races, unfortunately.

It seems that everybody enjoyed such event and I hope to see you all on next January, for the return race In Italy with the Italian racing car.

When UKGPL will win it we will (unfortunately?!?) have to arrange a third event to definitively crown the winning League...

[Hristo Itchov]

Grats to GPFun, but I guess it was to be expected. I'm surprised at how slow the laptimes are though, the top drivers on both sides must've been slacking off!
