@JamKart22,
Colin i use Muddyfox cycling gloves,really light very durable..

@JamKart22 Colin, I also have a pair of Muddyfox cycling gloves but also bought a pair of cheap fingerless cycling gloves from Lidl and they are great as my hands don't sweat as much in those on long races.

To conclude the glove search...

I couldn't find any Muddyfox gloves but Richard recommended these from Amazon. I have to say they feel OK atm and are a lot cheaper than a £50 pair of racing gloves.

Happy New Year to everyone and have a good night tonight.

I use something like these - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/404021074490 - leather gardening gloves

Maybe me racing socks will have siblings soon ...

DIY racing socks:

Show us your Rig / Cockpit

New change/upgrade to my rig with a new steering wheel. I already had a Sparco Champion (deep dished) but now I have replaced it with a 383, also 33 cm, also perforated leather, but looking more modern and with more comfortable grip zones. I love it. The oval grip is not excessive and the...

Reminder that tonight it's 30mins practice, 50mins qualifying {starting at 20:30 CET 19:30 GMT) and 2 mins overrun. So don't get starting your final lap unless you have at least 8 mins to spare.

Still a few places left for the final round if you just fancy a run around this classic track.

I have never raced Fonteny, never completed a lap and it looks like that isn’t going to change. .
I have been feeling rough all day and just tested Covid positive so Fonteny is not the place to be with a thick head and sneezing every 2 minute.
Good luck guys, hopefully I'll be feeling better tomorrow.

Get well soon

 

[JamKart22]

Sorry to hear that Paul. I had COVID a few weeks so know how you feel. Get well soon.

@Shed 17,
I had it over xmas m8,not good,1st outing out timing belt snapped on my van,big bill on the way by the looks of things..

 

[Kek700]

Off course i did not do a pit stop, i was stuck in a f^^king frence.
A race of one mistake, that cost very dearly, other than that i enjoyed my battles.

 

[gearwhine]

Sorry guys, i quit because i was going to be last anyway. !st mistake, i have been playing around with sunblind in Pure and forgot to remove it before the race. The sun was low and i could hardly see anything for half a lap. Will remove that for sure. 2nd and final excuse, i ran out of road and found myself wrong side of a fence. Ok, i will find an exit. There was none and by the time i double backed to the road i was sent back to the pits with a time penalty plus i was 5 mins into the track so i was outta here

 

[Twoddle]

Unfortunately I had to pullover to go and do something, by the time i got back i was 5mins behind so I quit.

congratulations to Laurent for the overall win and Richard for the race win

A great finale to the championship with a wild first lap. I was able to keep up for a while, but in the end I ran out of steam. A few close decisions in the championship rankings I see.
Exciting!

Congratulations to Richard for the win and to Laurent for the overall win. It was great again!

Spider frightened your wife??

 

[Kek700]

I quite enjoy the battle between the RS1600 and Alfa, it makes a good change from the normal, nice to be on the back foot in the Alfa, but still be in with a shout.
Plus the racing for quite a few laps was close considering the small field.
I would still be up for another shot at fat Alfie’s tracks in the same car combo again in the near future.

Take care, Paul. Don't rush. COVID must be treated carefully.

Happy with the championship win! It was close with Jason, and I have to thank him for the setup help he provided!

Most rounds were quite thrilling and it was good fun to throw this car around these gorgeous tracks.

Congrats to Richard with the win at Fonteny! And to Jason for his awesome pace throughout.

And to Colin for setting it all up.
