I may not be able to make it tonight, had to get up at 5 and kinda tired so I may already have fallen asleep come race time. I do hope to make it though!
Feeling sleepy? Take the Mercedes. You'll either be totally knife-edge awake, or totally dead. Easy solution...Huzzar!

Spamming helps Scott !
I'm actually feeling pretty rough today, but I really want to try out this combo, so I'll probably start at the back to avoid causing chaos.
Scott, only just got in from work so won't make it this week.
i enjoyed the combo
sorry for the bad crash in lap 3 or so. Looking at replay i think it was just a racing incident with the few cars in front getting tangled up for a while. I was focusing on getting a good exit to overtake them on the straight. So by the time i was well on the power, didnt see how the cars in front were actually still slowing down behind the first car that was trying to regain traction.
With better awareness i think i would have just gone all the way down the inside though to avoid it

Well that was a fun race. I had a bad start off the line and dropped to 4th, but there was space into T1, so I just went up the inside of everyone and came out of T2 in 1st. Pulled away pretty quickly somehow, and soon started to work out what fuel saving I needed to do. Had to aim for 6.25L/lap, which was made difficult by the first few laps being on high engine modes and flat out. Eventually I ended up in a good rhythm of lifting and coasting into T1, T8, T11, T13 and T16. @Lizard77 came close, but he soon pitted quite early. @Stefan Hiller caught up as well, but even when I was at crazy fuel saving mode, he couldn't get by and soon pitted at about 33 minutes to go. I had two last laps of real major fuel saving and managed to come in after 16 laps and just after the 30 minute mark. Then it was a case of drive for 15 laps a little bit faster and wait for everyone else to pit and go behind me. After that it was a calm run to the end where I finished 10s in the lead after only 1-stopping the race!

Thank you very much for the great race. I got away very well with my CLK and made up two places. Unfortunately there were slight touches in the first corner (sorry who I touched) I was able to hold second place until the tenth lap, unfortunately my strategy was designed for 2 stops and I finished fourth.
Hi All, sorry for the tardiness with the results. I had been a bit under the weather....
Thanks everyone for the race. Had really good fun in these cars, but we are going to move on to something a bit more modern next week. I'll probably put the event up tomorrow morning now.
