Lotus Elise Club Cup - Saturday Racing - Race 2 Feb 18th - SIGN UP NOW

[Matty]

No, it's a great track and keeps the racing close.

I might be there on Saturday. Won't have practiced though so I might give up

 

[Akmuq]

I'm going to join in on the over-stating chances club.

I've set a 1:02.5 and I haven't even driven the car yet.

 

[Phouchg]

It's because the track is so small and boring- not enough variety/time to separate the cars out. 👎

Hoping I can make the race.

That is exactly why it's so good! everyone will be very close, i expect the familiar faces in the front anyways because they make least mistakes but it's great with a track where everyone can be competitive.

Ok then:

In my opinion.

 

[DaxCobra]

Well your opinion is rubbish.



If the track is hard to seperate people, how did I go from last to win it last season?

Cause everyone else DC'd? Duh.

Actually you got a 1'06 finally after 100 laps...

Most likely because you were the most consistent on the day/had the most luck.
The actual lap times weren't much different from driver to driver.

The lap times must have been different for me to be half a lap down on Seven to catching him before the end of the race...

And, most luck? If I had most luck I wouldn't have spun in the 1st place.

Yes but you spun early on and had good luck for the rest of the race.

Yes the lap times would have been different each lap, but the fastest lap each person had run would have been very similar. At the latter point of the race a lot of peoples tyres had given up including mine.

 

[DaxCobra]

You could say that for every track though.

I seem to remember you spinning and taking carracer out too last race here..

 

[FordMKIVJ5]

When, I never spun here last season.

 

[DaxCobra]

final hairpin onto the back straight, you lost the rear end, carracer went into the back of you.

 

[FordMKIVJ5]

No, that wasn't me.

I got into the lead at the start then once the dust had settled, Seven was leading about a second or so ahead and I had Carracer and Sagarismic and that lot about 2 seconds behind me. Then I did an early stop.

 

[DaxCobra]

Im sure you two had a little coming together.

I think you got oversteer out of the penultimate corner, and carracer hit into you because I remember passing him because of it.

 

[FordMKIVJ5]

If I did I have absolutely no recollection of it but I 99% sure I didn't.

Are you sure it wasn't someone else?

 

[DaxCobra]

Unless there is someone else with a red car with blue wheels,

Im going to go watch the replay now.

 

[FordMKIVJ5]

You still have it?

I'm sure I didn't, but it was a while back.

 

[DaxCobra]

You did! Last hairpin before the back staright, you oversteered out of the corner and blocked carracerptp.

You kept the lead but demoted carracer to 6th

 

[FordMKIVJ5]

So I didn't actually make any contact?

 

[DaxCobra]

Yeah you did. You drifted the corner, almost came to a stop and he hit into you.

 

[FordMKIVJ5]

Oh.

I really don't remember that. What lap?

 

[DaxCobra]

Lap 1 (Lap 2 in the replay if you count the warm up)

 

[FordMKIVJ5]

Ah well. It's not like I did that much as he was back in 2nd a few laps later.

 

[DaxCobra]

Well you put him down to 6th lol.

 

[FordMKIVJ5]

Yeah but the field was bunched up if it was the first lap.

Therefore he didn't lose much actual time,just track position.

Anyway if he had a problem with it he would have gone to the you and reported it.

 

[DaxCobra]

He did.

Anyway, you got to liking the track yet?

 

[FordMKIVJ5]

So how come I had to pass him a lap or so later?

And no, it still is, and always will be, horrendous.

Any better lap times or are we all still at mid 1'04s?

 

[DaxCobra]

Ill set some laps in a bit.
