Z4 please Han. I like this track.
Thanks for notifying, Ernie. Enjoy your dinner!Cannot make it tonight Han, particularly sorry because of the poor turn out, for some odd reason I have been asked to eat out tonight, as much as I want to say no, cannot.
Yes Sure. Glad to have you. I think you will be good enough for a top ten result tonight!Hi Han. Hope you are doing well? Can I join with a z4 tonight please. Will be good practice.
I will try this track again somewhere this year when it's available on s.gp. Let's see if we can have more participants then.i really like this track, hopefully it’ll stay in rotation.
Hahaha I think I might even make the top 5 tonightYes Sure. Glad to have you. I think you will be good enough for a top ten result tonight!
Thanks for the race everyone. In the first few laps I capitalised on a few mistakes by @Partick Eaton & @Interslice to run in third for a few laps. As they started closing the gap I crashed into a tree and allowed both through. I was then flustered and tried hard to get back to them. A few laps later and this resulted in me ending in the ditch of doom. I then hotlapped the rest of the race, but made a few mistakes. With 2 laps to go @Interslice and @Partick Eaton lapped me and I just got out of the way so that they could race without me affecting them. Fun race, just wish I could have gotten closer to my qualifying times in the race, but I will study the replay of the @pattikins and everyone else and see where I can improve.
Thanks for organising @HF2000.
I really like the track, its difficult, has a few tight slow corners, some higher speed stuff (Where I really am not good) and nice open straights for overtaking.
Patrick did 1.55 in the 650. I did in the 488 1.56 high in qually on softs low fuel. In the race 1.58 on mediums.As I put some laps in with the 650S I was wondering if someone can post the lap times that were done in the race..
Thanks everyone for racing tonight! Congrats to the podium. @pattikins incredible pace and consistency on this track ! A well deserved win.
I had a sloppy race, my laptimes were good for 2nd but I made too many mistakes. With one I ended in the ditch and had to teleport to the pits. That cost you one lap and 40s penalty. I thought that's it for the podium but at the end the gap to 3rd was only 10s.
It's a pity that we had so few participants. With a full grid racing this track can be an amazing event. Later in the year I'll try it again when this track is on s.gp.
Next week Laguna Seca on s.gp!
Actually, you were more consistent than me. In fact, I had a few near misses with the dreaded ditch towards the end of the race, & the results could've been very different .
It was a shame that you ended up in the ditch, especially after you made such a good start. After reviewing some of the race, I was not surprised that the ramp on the 'San Frediano' (?) was the source of your undoing. On the first lap when I was directly behind you I noticed that the ramp really unsettled the Ferrari, much more than any other car.
The best launch over the ramp, however, goes to Brian, with Pat a close second.

Congrats to Pat (the other Pat ) for his first podium, & thanks for organising the event Han.
If you do decide to run the track again, given the ditches of doom, I think it would be better suited to a two race event, maybe with a different class of car - minis, classic dtms...
