Thanks Phil, but I'm not sure what the pace is going to be. Fun track, laser scanned, very well done.

Sorry, not going to make it tonight.
Today had the stitches out on my carpal tunnel op, just did a few laps to see how it would go, but after a few laps felt a bit tender so will leave it rest for a week.

Fun track. Spun off very early on a curb then was in 6th until the baby stirred and i lost concentration and spun again. Had to get his dummy back in and make sure he was asleep before rejoining loosing a few places. Wally must have come off a couple of times as i caught up then spent about 4 laps behind him before overcooking the penultimate corner. After that lots of time on my own avoiding curbs, espeically the one at turn 3. Still, loads of fun in these cars.

Really enjoyed that track. Connection started bugging out towards the end so I left so I didn't cause problems for others.

A couple? I reckon I came off about 6 times! Kerbs a few times, sometimes tried to overcorrect the steering and the back just snapped out. It was kind of frustrating, because every spin makes you more nervous.

After my spin behind you I didnt come off again but was overly cautious with the curbs. Everyone else was at least 20 seconds ahead by then though.

Well I had a couple of 'things' going on in background during qual and of course it was the right time to fiddle with the gearing!
It was, I gained a second!
Still getting used to the update and played with the shifter and jumped started!

Clean first lap and believed I could have settled in to some good racing but lost any contact on executing the drive through then spent time catching the other participant who had found a curb or slipped off turn 1. 
I was continually teased by a couple in the distance but it is such a nice track, even hotlapping is pleasant.
Started 9th, ended up 9th, got a PB, left happy!
Good turn up again.
