Had another good nights racing last night
Race 1
It's very hard to pass slower cars cleanly round hear and it took a couple to get clean air by which time i was 14sec down the road which i could reduce but very slowly backmarkers became a problem im sure for everyone ADE was running real well until being struck or having to slow right down to lap cars and i was on his bumper for the last three laps but could not pass him cleanly and he never made a mistake Well done ADE very consitant
Race 2
Lets face it i was crap never downloaded it so was to be expected my son needed me so it was no great loss
Race 3
I could keep the heat in my tyres the first 2 laps and i was about 15sec up on geordie coming into the 3rd but with having to slowdown so much at some corners and running wide a couple of times in the first third of the lap all heat was lost and if i didn't understeer it was snap oversteer a bloody nightmare to hold onto and with geordie always closing it was a lucky win
Cheers All

Cheers BUCHAN, it was a tricky track in that car, after the first few laps I saw BUCHAN was in P4 and new I had work to do to hold on to 3rd. I lost a lot of time getting around the backmarkers and by the last 3 laps BUCHAN was on my bumper which put the pressure on to not make any mistakes. All in all that was my best race this season and Im gutted my connection played up in race 2, as that would have been another 3rd place. I am really starting to see improvements in my racing every week now, cant wait for the next event.

First race was an epic battle with jamesy,was right on his bumper for the best part of 10 laps but just couldn't find a way past.The one time I got up the inside into the first hairpin I outbraked myself,ran a bit wide and jamesy stole the place back.Good clean racing as always and a well earned win.
I wasnt expecting to do well in race 2,just couldn't find a good setup and struggled to get into a rythm on track,pretty lonely race in 4th and would have been happy to finish there but I was gifted 3rd due to ades connection issues,unlucky mate,you were running well.
As for the race 3 from half way round the second lap its was just a battle to stay on track,Buchan was 15-20 seconds up the road in first place but every time I tried to close the gap i'd have a "moment". Decided to play it safe and hold on to 2nd place but the gap came down to about 5 seconds by the end.Hats off to buchan for keeping the Ford Gt on track and ending my winning streak on the ring,couldn't have been easy.
Another good,clean nights racing by all from where I was sitting and a thanks to omnius for organizing it all and keeping things interesting week after week.

There you go!
Last night BUCHANPOWER mentioned the colour I'd painted my GranTurismo S, and like I said, I'd actually seen one in Newcastle one day while out at the shops - I took a photo (I get 'inspired' when out and about -
)So from the real world to the virtual world at a fraction of the cost
If anyone knows Newcastle, it was parked on Grey Street...

My take on Fridays races:
Race 1 was for me a difficult track. Not a favourite of mine it has to be said. Had to pit around lap 11/12 as my tyres were totally shot and I literally couldnt accelerate without spinning
Race 2 I enjoyed and posted a better finish. Good quality battle with Omnius towards the end. As we all know there were some 'interesting' turns on that track!! All in all a good race though.
Race 3...OMG...from 0 percent precipitation to nearly 100 percent just saw me going backwards from the first lap to the last.
All in though another good nights racing and well done to all who took part....
I should be available for the next weeks racing too....which is a first for me!! 2 weeks on the trot...unheard of!! lol

I seem to have got into a bit of a CORE GT/ZERO CUP routine. Sundays I wait for the new Core regs, and when they come up I pick my cars, Mondays I have a little go in all of them including Zero Cup car to try and set an early benchmark time. Tuesdays is just Zero Cup practce. Wednesday, Zero Cup. Thursday Core practice. Friday Core Trident event. I then have Saturday off, just so the Mrs and kids remember who I am.

I think the phrase we're looking for can be made up with the following words...Down, Gauntlet, Throw(ing) and The 💡
...oh and I've hidden 3 links on the main page, can you guess/find which ones they are?
