Megane's start at 25 past the hour, bear in mind races are a bit shorter possibly tonight so it may end earlier.
 
Mulsanne, Its a bit of a punt but are you allowing spectators?

If so, I'd love to see this championship and enter myself perhaps in season 4 :)

EDIT: Screw that idea, got Nascar Tuning to do for the 500 :)

Drop by if ya want, grid of about 10 tonight :)
 
Internet on PS3 is really poor tonight and when watching youtube on my ipod. If it keeps being crap i'm going to do some history.
 
Lots of steward reports to file... but a scary wet race. I thought everyone of us was gonna go head on off...
 
Glad you changed your opinion :)

Tonight was hectic. Although it's normally good to have close fights, I can see some controversy surrounding this event...

I haven't changed my opinion. Sorry if it came across that way. To me it is still as bad an idea as it was yeaterday or the day before.

Very enjoyable evening . Turn 1 was an adventure as expected, the first 2 races I was tapped from the left and into a Volvo each time .

Race 3 in the rain - I started 3rd and fell off track at the first Lesmo . Which was the equivalent of starting last , a good strategy as many had issues I got up to 5th/6th and got Kiwi who had made a mistake and blocked me. We battled a while and eventualky caught Furi(4th) the 2 Volvos were squabbling madly so I said screw it and tried to breeze inside on 2nd lesmo. I understeered got tapped (for being naughty) and regretted it. Carbon drafted me out the final bend.
 
I was dissapointed to miss race 1 but no biggie as I won race 2. I got a healthy lead but I made quite a few mistakes towards the end causing my gap to shrink. Race 3 was frustrating, got caught up in battles at the back due to the slipstream effect. The times that I got away I made a mistake or something like that. Generally ok, i'm out of the championship but i'll try to win the remaining races.
 
I thought the wet race was less chaotic than the dry race 2 to be honest.
Anyway, what are the standings? :)

I almost felt guilty passing Sumo on the lasp lap after went off at the 2nd lesmo. :/
 
I feel so annoyed for hitting Akmuq in Race 3, it was so close to being a MRT 1-2..... But a little note to Carbon / Knelly. Ya ford's were slightly different colours, sort it out for the next race if ya can please.
 
I think we should be the same color... Ivy Green Metallic right? I doubt (but also hope) there ain't no multiple colors with that same name...
 
First of all, I was already in a really happy mood(apart from one dumb argument) today cause Ireland beat Australia, so I may sound a bit over-joyous here.
That whole evening was EPIC.

Meganes, I started on pole after GT timing was wrong, should have been carbon pole, and lead with furi, and neljack, I was 2nd on the final lap when furi made a bad move into Ascari putting me 3rd, out of the lead slipstream and into the clutches of Carbon, who made his move in the Parabolica

Race 1, I started last even though I was supposed to start 7th(according to session timing, I didn't get a lap), but I made up quite a few on lap 1 and was 6th at the rear of the breakaway pack, cool_kiwi made a bad move into Ascari punting me off and I think he got tom aswell, but not as bad. I wasn't in anybody's slipstream and tought I was doomed to 6th position. Somebody went off and I was up to 5th, but somehow catching the leaders, I overtook tom as we both caught back up and then made a couple of moves. The Volvo was terrible out of the chicanes as I set the 2nd and 3rd gear the wrong way, so DK easily got a run on the outside of me in the Curve Grande, and we were side by side going into the chicane, and I went around the outside, I was really proud of that move.:) After that I made a couple of more overtakes and took the lead and kept it till the end.

Race 2, it was unsurprising that Dan won, however I still think he was right to keep the lead as he missed race 1, I just made as many overtakes as possible through the backmarkers, but I got held up more then sumo so he was comfortable ahead of me and I came home in 3rd.

Race 3, I was running around with the leaders until I had a bit of an accident and I spun soon afterwards, I was lying on the apex, thinking that moving off would be just as dangerous, fortunatly I was avoided by everyone and resumed in 10th, a couple of overtakes and a fastest lap of everyone later, and I came home 7th.


Good night's racing, and the cars are even, proven by 2 BMW wins, but 1 Volvo.:)
 
So, is the 50KG penalty in place for the next race? :)


and agreed with Akmuq Fords and Volvo's were much stronger, particually in race 1.
 
Wohoo, Megane quali hat trick 👍

If I get pole for every race in the season, do I get an extra prize? :dopey:
 
Overall it was good night I reckon. I was kinda scared. 130mph with no front visibility lol...
 
MrMulsanne
BTCC today will make us seem angelic... :lol:

Haha

Already turning some laps at Gran Valley East Reverse fastest is a 1.10.xxx
 
^ I'm already getting into the 1'08s. I was getting 1'15s earlier, but then I realised I was on Comfort Softs. :lol: I have high hopes for next Saturday, providing a certain blue car doesn't show up...
 
I opened my practice with a 1'08.727 being my best time. I improved lap by lap pretty smoothly, this is a good way to start the tests.

You know what the REALLY annoying thing about this is? I most likely can't turn up next week because I'm off to go watch some stock car racing. :lol:
