ouch, crashing into the wall was all me though for throttling too hard afterwards really, so no problem

I think I've figured out why.....my G25 gear stick was in 3rd gear!!!(must have knocked it)

Thanks for your understanding.

Qual: 2nd Finish: 2nd

Took off well and tried an early move on Pat that didnt work so back to 2nd and more or less dropped off sector by sector,Pat had a couple of moments that brought me back in the race but he had the speed to pull away again when he recovered.
Race2 i got another good jump off the line and went to the right of the Ferrari ahead of me and hugged the pit bails,but a yellow car came to there and appeared not to want to go at all...so ended up losing some places instead of good gains,the first lap was good though with some furious action going on,battled up to 2nd and already Pat was gone away in the lead,but i soon binned it....then binned it again and got a puncture and susp damage,pitted in and got a new tyre,back out and it was too much to try and drive with the damage,so pit next lap for repair,was trying to push to get on terms with anything available to race with,and then stacked in epic fail style killing my Cat

.
Well Done Patrick on the double,and really really big congrats to all who survived that one :good:.
Big Thanks RD making it all possible.

Qualy: Went ok, new PB, was a 2:39.xyz, but based on sector times, guess I could have been under 2:39, anyway was content with the result.

Race 1: Started 9th. Stable but but not exciting race, as I was mostly on my own. Finished 5th, due to the drop outs of others.

Race 2: Started from 4th. Came second out of T1 (far behind Patrick who started from far behind me

). In the hairpin some people got me. At the down hill Mark lifted of I got irritated, Andrew came like a bullet from behind, basically we all crashed together. I think nobody to blame, we made all bloody mistakes

. Lost many positions, but somehow no damage report, tough the car was behaving different afterwards. And lost little bit concentration afterwards, which made me doing lots of maistakes afterwards, but was anyway mostly on my own. Finshed 4th,due to drop outs

.

I find the track actually very forgiving, when you hit something or go off road, not many damages and at some points hidden walls seems to keep you on track! Anyway I like it!

Great race! Thanks all!

Chris Vick · Feb 4, 2009

Another rough event for me. Barely completed a lap in practice. Managed to qualify in 12th I think. Got Neil Gault's setup, and improved by 2 sec in warmup. Thanks Neil! :thumb:

Race 1, I was running pretty well. Got up to 9th, and was keeping up nicely. then, braking into the last turn, I suddenly spun right into the bales. I thought someone hit me, but in the replay it looks like the car just let loose. Suspension damage. Managed another lap, and came in to fix. Went back out, and in one more lap, packed it in for good. Those are some tough hay bales! :disapointed:

Watched Gary and Patrick duel it out in the monitor. You guys are really good! I learned some improvements to my race line just watching. In race 2 that sped me up by 2 more sec per lap, so thanks guys!

Race 2 there was a total mash up at the start. I tapped Jeroen (he was sideways in front of me, and I straightned him out :laugh2: ) and that pushed me into those damn bales again!:disapointed: Waited for Jeroen, and followd him into turn 1. I ran a pretty clean first lap, and then, again, just before the last turn, there is a huge cloud of smoke, and cars spinning everywhere. I tried to dodge, but collected Mark Birney as he was sideways in the track. Thaat spun me, and when I got turned straight again, I looked for him, but could not find him. I had major damage, so I headed off for the pits, and down closer to the pits, found mark heading in with only 3 wheels. We both went into the pits, but Mark didn't make it out. Sorry for the hit. I don't know what I could have done better as I tried to avoid you, but I'm sorry to put you out.

In the pits, Andrew ducked around me to the right, and I followd him out. A few seconds later, as I was chasing him, his car just vanished?! No idea what happened there. At this point, I was last, and I just went out and ran the best laps I could. I managed to pass a couple of folks who made errors, and some others dropped out ahead. I did manage to break my suspension on another hay bale later, but limped in to fix it. That put me a lap down to Patrick. I went out and finished in 6th. Just finishing here feels like a win.:thumb:

Tough race all around. Thanks to Gary and RD for the event. Perhaps some day I will actually learn to drive!:laugh2:

See you again soon, I hope!

Chris

Sign me up please.

Most probably I will be there with the Audi, but might try something else.

that was the point i realised there was no way i was going to get around a lap with a puncture - wouldn't let me postpone the sng in the pits... :wah:

Neil Gault · Feb 4, 2009

Great race and congrats to Patrick for the double win.

Qual: 4th with an equal time to Keith who gets 3rd but where is the justice in that when he was using my setup:wink2:

Race 1 i managed to get an ok start and was up into 3rd then dropped back a couple of places instead of defending but soon made it up again and settled down to close the 3 second gap to Gary, i think i managed to close it to around 1.5 secs until i started to make mistakes and decided to try and hold my pace and settle for 3rd as i was making no headway into the lead gary had.

Race 2: i made a total hash of the start and got too much power down and spun clipping Jan as he bounced off the car in front of him (sorry Jan).
Sat there for a second in last place and saw Jan was making no effort to move so continued on my way with no damage, then proceded to work my way through the trafic and grasstracking cars and even joined then as i made the odd mistake :disapointed: then coming down the hill i came upon mayhem with smoke, cars spinning on track, off track and parked, but i thought i saw a space and kept the foot down, but the space closed at the last minute as the car that i thought was parked moved across the track, so i am heading for a closing gap doing 125mph and catch my front wheel damaging my suspension sending me flying across the grass like everyone else but i manage to keep it going only to see the recovering Andrew spin off trying to avoid me (sorry # 2).:at-wits-end:.
After that i just settled down and had a great fight pushing hard to gain some places and sometimes just too hard but luckily i never received too much damage and was very lucky to nick second place from Manuel on the very last lap.

Great track choice for these cars, i just love those fast flowing corners that can make or end a race.:good:

lols mate, no worries...

i thought i'd pulled it off with a little wobble and twas only when i was celebrating, like massa winning the championship, that i realised i was now 90 degrees to the road and shed a little tear, like massa losing the championship...
