[Timothy Miller]

WTH?!?!? Race date gets changed? And i find myself no longer on the list...
Don't worry i can't race on saturday so no worries there. But perhaps give guys that allready signed up for a race some sort of notice that it is rescheduled? And tell 'm that they need to signup again? Just a thought...

Great Job Nuno

My 1st proper outing in a fwd car, I have to say I didn't expect to enjoy it so much :dance2:

Things started out quite well with a 5th in quali, I was still battling with the balance of the car but managed to hold it together enough for a reasonable hotlap.

Race 1:
Also started out nicely with me gaining a position and sitting in 4th spot for a while. Pierre meanwhile though was in hot pursuit while again I was struggling to put in consistently smooth laps. I guess (hopefully!) this will improve with experience... Eventually Pierre pounced on a mistake and overtook at the final bend, his next move though was into the pits. My tyres didn't seem too bad so carried on a couple more laps to try and take advantage of the clear track ahead.
Things started to go wrong on lap 8 when I lost the back end round the s-bends and went into a 360. Then into the pits, I thought I'd better change the rears also as they were feeling bad - this ended up though costing too much time so I rejoined in 9th. Yet another spin in the s'es on lap 11 sealed the 9th spot finish, not quite enough for a race 2 pole...

Race 2:
After the spinning expoits in race 1, I increased the rear downforce a little for race 2 hoping for a more predictable feel to the car. Had a decent enough start, eventually passing Robert on lap 2 to go 6th. More drama on lap 3 with some sideways driving after running wide on t1, somehow managed to pull it back though, appreciating now one of the benefits of fwd :wink2:
After benefitting from some race incidents further ahead and others pitting earlier, I pitted on lap 8 from 1st position with Dragos just behind. Dragos had a slightly shorter pit stop which meant us leaving the pits together, oddly enough we carried on racing after t1 inside each other's cars :dont-know: Weird enough to make me lose concentration and shunt Keith, who was in 3rd, off the track... :doh2: !
Dragos managed to capitalise moving up into 3rd, with Keith re-joining in 4th, and Sean slipping through into 5th. Eric pitting on lap 9, meant it was a battle for 4th now with Sean. Had a great few laps trying to pass and take 4th, but the car just felt too slippery to risk a late-braking manouvre. Pierre again looming ever closer made for a tense last lap, but these positions remained so ended up 5th, phew!!

Had great fun here, with some awesome racing and really enjoyed the car - thanks William

Funnily enough I tried messing around with the setup after the race, softening the suspension and biasing the brakes more towards the front wheels and started lapping consistently in the 1:19's lol. Oh well, maybe next time :wink2:

 

[Marcel vd Aa]

With so many of my team mates signing up, i can't stay behind. Sign me up pls...

 

[Rob Goldthorpe]

oh meh, go on then. Sign me up :becky:

 

[Lee Downham]

Lol, Thanks Lee. It is no detriment to be honest, if I had not cut the bus stop I would have hit the wall and lost the place to you anyway. The pangs of guilt hit at the final turn and I would not have been happy at the end.

Afterall it is a club race and should be enjoyed, if it was important the guilt would be worth it :rotfl:.

Agreed on the enjoyment element, and racing without guilt ... you excel in both areas mate ... but you just made a mistake and overcooked it a bit, doing what you could to recover without killing the car ... I know you would not intentionally cut, and you do not do this lap on lap, so I would have absolutely no qualms if you had maintained your position :thumb:

Still ... I like your ethics and attitude - this is why I did not let Ben hand me the win at Estoril as he tried to ... if I took it fair and square, then I am happy to say I earned it, but I need to know I actually did earn it, otherwise its a bit false and meaningless.

I just enjoyed having enough pace to keep Ben on his toes in that race and be clear of the chasing pack by some 11 or 12 seconds by the end ... that means more than being gifted the win to me.



EDIT: Great job on the vids Nuno mate :thumb:

 

[Cristian Haba]

Ill give it a go as well.

 

[Andrew Evans]

[Ryan Callan]

Forgive me for being an ignorant 90/00s kid

 

[Rob Goldthorpe]

Sounds like music, if I'm not mistaken.

 

[Maxence Chollet]

[Dennis Phelan]

OK, If I've been driving an Evo WTCC Honda at Donnington[offline] and I were to get STCC, would I be able to drive my Honda in the race?

 

[Matt Crouch]

It's a song by the Horrors Ryan, this decade Check out my connections, I knew someone at university who knew the sister of whoever the main guy is. That's right I'm practically famous

 

[Simon Trendell]

Yep, the event uses all the S2000 spec cars from WTCC 07, 06 & STCC (excl. the Vectra).
