In that case: great race of you, George!

 

[Mike Murphy]

Great combo again Denis, you're starting to get me addicted!

Firstly, the racing I was involved in was clean and courteous from all. I was more worried about properly picking my braking points and controlling my sliding car around the turns rather than being concerned about others bumping me.

Congrats @Sheashant L on race 1 win. I think following you helped me to improve my lines and lap times! Didn't have enough to properly challenge for the win and a single mistake finally put you out of reach. A bit of side by side and great clean racing, thank you.

Race 2 got a good start and managed to capitalise on a mistake to take the lead I think. Kept under pressure from @Sheashant L the whole time but managed to hold on for the win. Lots of clock watching by me in that race and lots of nerves trying not to make a mistake!

 

[Sheashant L]

Incredible racing by @Michael Murphy . In R1 you pushed me hard and kept me on the limit pretty much through out and helped me get my PB of 1'27"3. In R2 I realised I could only make up ground in the last chicane so I was pushing to the limit in that section. It was working but I kept overdoing it, while you in the other hand didnt fault one bit. You deserve that win and thank you for good clean fair racing )

I saw a few incidents in the background but I think everyone was racing like gentlemen. Overall congratulations to everyone who took part and pushed hard for 50 mins.

Thanks for hosting as always @Denis Betty. Another successful combo ^.^

 

[Medilloni]

Thanks for tonight @Denis Betty , what a great mix of car 'n track Huge congrats to the podium guys, amazing lap time and consistency!

Just the fun of driving this car had 2 really enjoyable races, had a couple of love taps which put me to the back in both races, though had some great racing mid-field, thanks guys for being so fair!

With this version of the GTAM, I read (somewhere?) it's BoP'd to race with the Escort... just sayin'

 

[Partick Eaton]

Great fun and good racing by all. The top runners are very fast.

Thanks for hosting Denis.

Ooh, ooh, Mr Peabley.
Now you've got me thinking.. thanks buddy.

 

[stribbeck]

Really enjoyed that thank you for organising the event @Denis Betty
2nd race was fun racing with @HF2000, had a nice view of you, @Denis Betty and @Neilski going three into one...... a nice easy 3 places gained for me

 

[Locoblade]

Thanks @Denis Betty, what an awesome combination and I can't believe I managed to take my first ever (double) podium at my home track, even if I was slightly fortunate at times, especially in the first race as i got skittled slightly at the first corner and ended up on the grass in about 8th, but then almost everyone fell off in front of me at St Marys. After I passed Allister @Fatalist88 I ended up having the most lonely race ever, felt like practice with about 10s gap to those in front and a few seconds back to @Medilloni in the end meaning I could try and be consistent rather than push for the last tenth and probably bin it!

I didn't have enough to keep @Michael Murphy or @Sheashant L behind me in the second race (although I led my first whole lap, another box ticked ) so probably for the best that I made a couple of small mistake that left them though but then Ernie @Kek700 gradually reeled me in during the middle of the race and we had a great little battle for the last few laps and I somehow kept him at bay.

A personal highlight other than not throwing it in the weeds under pressure like I normally do was lapping Anastasios sideways through on the second tighter kink before St Marys with Ernie on my chuff knowing I couldn't lift off as he'd be past. Couldn't stop chuckling to myself when that came off, not sure the percentages were in my favour but this time it paid off thankfully thanks to Anastasios staying tight!
