Sorry Dennis, but this track just doesn't suit me (unless we are having an off-road competition, becouse I'm flying all over the place), so sign me out.

 

[Justin Swan]

Sorry Dennis. This is a truly awful circuit and it will just frustrate me for 80 minutes if I lasted that long. I will take great pleasure in deleted it from my hard drive lol

Sign me out please

Personally I am liking the challenge, but I can understand why it's so frustrating!

See you next time Justin.

 

[Janko Zgembo]

Yeah, minis rules . This track is more suited for minis (and me) than Bridgehampton. Sign me up please.

 

[Paul Wickham]

Well not a great start, taken out on the third corner and even after pitting the car was a mess...Ah well thanks for hosting.

 

[Andreas Löffler]

Tough race, a real hard slog. Made too many mistakes (all of which cost loads of time) but managed to finish the race so I can pull at least one plus out of it.

 

[Gijs van Elderen]

Quali: P1
Race: P2

That was a thriller!
I had some hot moments with Dennis in T1. Flew off like a cannonball. The car had a puncture, aerodynamic and a suspension problem. But the little tank was still goiing.
Pitted with 50 min to go. and ended with 2 L fuel and totally worn tires.
Congrats Pete, I think you're the only one that stayed on the black stuff.
I goiing to try that tactic next time!

 

[Dennis Phelan]

@Gijs van Elderen , those are the first positive comments I've heard about the race. Which cars would you like to come back to use? We've used the Minis before, the WTCC, GT Pro, GT Club, Radical SR4-252's, DTM and the WTCC '87. All in a previous lifetime of course.

I can understand the frustration of those that could not cope, but this was a real track and beyond the amateur sports car racing that happened here, Can AM racing and professional motorcycle racing also took place. Like any track you cannot expect to penetrate boundaries and gain an advantage.. This IS a high speed track and S#!t can happen. It's about boundaries and limits and exploring them. It's what we do.

Some drivers were, I guess forced to leave, car too broken. Only about half of us made it to the finish, most just slogging along as some will/have said. I'm sorry if I picked a horrible track. I raced my heart out, every single lap, even when wee were just trying to hold it together on the last few laps, I was even then, recovering from...exploring the limits.

And it was fun.

 

[Paul Wickham]

Hey there was nothing wrong with the track, sure a bit of a challenge and that only because it was unfamiliar. I was looking forward to seeing how I would do, as Dave will tell you I'm not the fastest, but in a race I am consistent and that can pay dividends...But an entire race fighting a wheel that was pulling right all the time was just not going to be fun, had it been later in the race I would have stuck it out. But not from lap one

 

[Yves Larose]

sign me up please a few more would be nice

 

[Gijs van Elderen]

Installed bandicam... I made a video of the hot moments.

@Dennis Phelan , Every car and every track has his challenges. sometimes it is a matter of surviving.

BTW: the Escort V8 2009 challenge is funny little car. Try these cars on Pau or Vara Raceway. That's a challenge.

Maybe you could do a USA week. There are alot of american cars in the game (street and race cars). I never tryed them. And I think you know a few american races tracks.
USA all the way!

 

[Dennis Phelan]

Lol, I thought the USA week was a short while ago when we ran Road America and Mid Ohio, not to mention the recently run Sebring and Lime Rock events, but wait....there's more[to come]!

Anyhow,
I'm living for the Nordschleife week that's coming up

 

[Kurupt CDN]

Thanks for hosting!!
Track was fine, I was just unprepared and terrible today. I should have spent more time preparing for this combo than the seat @ Birmingham....lesson learnt

Hey, don't misunderstand me. Yes, it was tough (I like a challenge). It had some very frustrating moments. I made too many mistakes. But I still had fun. I told you that on TS too! Next time you race here at a time good for me, I'll be there. I don't think the track was that bad, just that it was a difficult one (which is fine). I'll just make sure I get more practice in next time!

 

[Pete Bone]

Well for my first race in a while that went quite well.

I'd done a bit of practice offline and was having trouble with turn 3, i wasn't slowing down enough and ending up in the barrier.
I had fun during the race, i had to get past Gijs as quick as possible or i fear he would have pulled away and i would crash trying to hard to catch him so i got beside him after turn 3 in eventually made the move stick into turn 4.

After that it was just a matter of keeping it clean and on the black stuff.

I do have to apologize to Bryan Rustell, im sorry for taking you out mate, i really wasnt expecting you to brake where you did and by that time i didnt have enough room to do anything, its my fault as i was the lead driver, im sorry again.

I found the track quite good, its not often we get such fast tracks with the Mini's. Im not sure how it would play out with big powerful RWD cars but id be happy to run the Porsches round there.

Thanks for setting this up Dennis, and great driving last night, was good to see you at the pointy end of the grid.

 

[Justin Swan]

As I couldn't stomach Bridgehampton yesterday, I might have to give the old minis a blast

 

[Andreas Löffler]

GT club please

 

[Reggie Blain]

add me and my dad please
