I was very happy again with my lap times around this circuit. I was happy with my qual position and was sitting in 4th place during the first part of the race, for a while, slowly losing sight of the cars ahead, then I pitted and the race had  completely changed I was now 7th I think ,first I was caught by Seanus and then Phil and was waiting for the next alien to turn up, then on lap 19 I disconnected from the server,race over. Still enjoyable while it lasted, congrats to Wally on the win, your stats say it all 0 crashes, 0 contacts.

When joining at the end of practice there was no F40s left. So spent qualifing trying to decide 908 or GT40. Settled on the ford as it seemed ok with the default settings. The porsche felt like it needed a fair amout of tweaking.

Spent most of the race driving around the infield utill finially breaking my shifter on the last lap and having to complete most of it stuck in first gear to finish last of coarse. Awesome. Glad I spent that time setting up the F40.

Sorry to hear that Humper, I thought all drivers had been allocated a car.

Phil do we need to register, what car all drivers want, and allocate number of cars on server accordingly? I thought a three way split would have been sufficient, obviously not.

Must have been an extra F40 driver this week? Didn't think we were meant to be swapping cars?

Initially i thought phils start delays seemed excessive but i did manage to catch up. First 10 laps were great putting in pb's and pulling away from phil which is always an achievement.

After traffic around lap 10 phil was fairly close and i saw him saw him pit behind me so i put my foot down to try and avoid an undercut to pit next lap. Was only as i was steaming down the final straight that i realised i was 100% sure where the pit entry started. By then i was carrying too mich speed and it was too late putting the car into a spin.

When i finally got into the pits mael was in the pit box behind mine and not being able to see properly i missed my box. By that time the whole field had gone past again. Managed to make up a few more spots but could have been better.

yes in theory  , but I may have done something wrong, not sure what yet, as I leave the driver config alone each week and just add new track to server config

Didn't get the time this week deserved and a couple of mistakes put me back, but I was enjoying the GT40 here and continued on, ready to blast out of a quick tyre change pit stop... and dropped connection.

Onward to next week's round, hope to put some decent practice in...

The session details shows several people did not pit?
Yeh, once again it says I did not pit, but I did on lap 17 for tyres and the session laps times (2.01) show that.
Was originally going to try running the race on the 1 set of tyres and only pit for 1 litre of fuel, but with 5 laps to go the car was feeling a bit iffy. Pitted while I was in the lead and came out 3rd (I think) but narrowly ahead of about 5 cars, but the new tyres kept me ahead .
Good racing again.

Don't believe everything you read. Being one of the ones listed as not pitting, I certainly did more than one stop due to the pit app not functioning properly and causing my car to be short filled on both occasions, resulting in my coming last.....
