Fridays BOSS 302 20:30-21:30 BST - Congratulations CHAMPION - Flaco !!!Finished 

My apologies, I experienced a bit of lag in that corner. I'm not sure what happened but from my perspective you had swung a little wide and I tucked up beside you on the inside line, at the apex you ghosted and reappeared with half of your car IN my car, then just as sudden you reappeared and bumped off the side of my car. I had no idea what happened so kept racing...

I ended up getting a little lose in front of someone who, probably inadvertently, managed to PIT maneuver me which meant I had to get going again from last place. Funny how karma works eh?

Anyways, I settled into a rhythm and managed to get a few places back until a momentary lapse in judgement allowed sick to drive by. Overall, I was satisfied with the race, but wish I had done better.
 
According to my lap times, I shouldn't have been up there on second place at all. I only kept up with the leading trio because they were battling it out from start to finish, which slowed them down and then unlucky Pimiki spun near the end. Simba and Siggers must have had troubles at the start, but recovered and both had faster lap times than me.

I managed to pass Zolon at some point somehow, maybe he struggled with worn tires, and keep up with eran, when Pimiki spun out I decided not to risk too much, just hoping for a mistake from eran, which didn't happen. So I was very happy with the second place finish.

It showed me again that, if you manage to get around Turn 1 safely and drive consistent, you can end up on podium. Even though your fastest lap times are half a second slower than that of the fast(er) guys.

Points BOSS 302 Round 11.jpg


NB @Siggers disconnected before the race began, but has been awarded points as if he disconnected during the race. He made many attempts to join the action and I am sure he had raced he would have achieved a top result.

With one round remaining @Flaco13 cannot be caught and has won the championship. His prize car - a 1/43 replica of the Frank Gardner Ford Escort (Mark One) Twin Cam will be despatched today.


I went to a car show on Sunday and took a load of photos - I had Flaco in mind when I took these two: top an Opel in lovely condition and below a very rare (in the UK) Bitter saloon.

Good luck everyone at the final round in Rome!

Thank you, Sick. The Opel Kadett looks fresh and is a nice colour. The great Bitter Cars, yes, very rare and the more amazing when spotting one. Was it a V8? Based off the Opel Diplomat, a huge Sedan with a 5.7L GM V8, at that time, a serious competitor to Mercedes in terms of power and luxury.

This Bitter was a large saloon - unfortunately my first photo showing the front didn't come out and with this shot I was trying to avoid showing the exhaust because someone had fitted a giant, teenager style exhaust which looked like it had come straight off a Citroen Saxo!

Just a reminder to everyone that it is the Final Round (12) tonight of BOSS 302.


Test Round 0 for the new Championship "Shelby V Chevy" is next Friday 23rd September. I have decided to hold an extra Test Round 00 on Monday 19th September - if anyone is free then join me at 20:30 BST for some extra testing.

Something tells me you actually wanted to say 'straight off a Vauxhall Nova', but then changed your mind. Haha. Yeah, unfortunately, sometimes people really do weird things to their cars. It's like fitting aftermarket LED-Daytime-lights on a classic car. Whut??
 
Sick

Bad week. I cannot race tonight.
Sorry I've missed the final race of both meets this week.

All the best to everyone for a good fun close race.

Congrats to the amazing fast drivers who are at the top of these championships. Don't know how you guys go so fast??

:cheers:
 
Thanks for this series!

Rome turned out to be a piece of cake, thanks to the good start I got (bonus points for drag race skills?). It was just a matter of maintaining the gap.

I'd also like to point out that with six starts and three wins I've got a win ratio of 50%! Unfortunately my DNS ratio is also 50%...
 
Great photos as always John!

Flaco!
Congratulations on the championship title!
Thank you very much @Pimasz for the competition and @Sick Cylinder for making all of this possible

also thanks to all other fellow classic racers I really hope we can all get together again beyond the ends of GT6 on different platforms. But first, there are the next seasons, and I will try to show up as often as possible and hopefully you will, too.
