Sorry on that last lap of race 2 - I came a cropper out of Eau Rouge and tank slapped down the straight. I clipped a few cars, tried to sit still like a sitting duck and lost a bunch of spots. I got bumped off on lap 1 by someone oversteering and was last behind Guybrush who also got bumped off, but it was fun working back through the field until I threw it all away on the last lap.

Race 2 was more fun, that's for sure.

That was me Wally, Guybrush and I had a side by side bump going into Eau Rouge and we both spun, unfortunately he came off worst and also cleaned you up whilst spinning.
Also have to clear up a bump I had with Imp on lap 1, which he probably thinks was a ram from behind by me, but it was a warp. I was a car length behind, then all of a sudden "BANG" and he was spinning around. Had a look at the replay and it clearly shows a big warp.
Great racing though, and thanks to Phil for that setup, loved it.

Bit of a disaster tonight. Really missed Teamspeak. I also had the race over timer set to 60sec thinking that the new server rules meant that everyone would be allowed to finish the final lap. Seems I was wrong.

Then I wiped out a lot of people on the first corner in race 1. Sorry i was distracted at the start and just left my braking way too late. To cap of the evening I survived most of Race 2 only to arrive at a prone Wally and didn't manage to find a way passed...a messy evening all round for me.

Anyway... here are the results:

Great fun! Not done much in this car before tonight and takes some getting used to! Race 1 spun off quite a few times. Race 2 was a lot more fun. Was behind Bruce and Gratulin when Gratulin made a mistake and I got past then both, then realised I was in 4th, I didn't even notice that we must have gone past the rest of you when you spun off. Guy caught up and I wasn't going to even try and fight him as I'd have probably crashed. Held it together pretty well until lap 4 where I overdid the throttle losing 3 spots, but then got them all back again after Wally's spin  :)

Also the results are showing Bruce and I didn't finish R1. That's true because the server kicked us off, otherwise we would have  >:(

Race 1. When it cut out I was on the last corner and he was just behind.

Well what a night.  Certainly missed TS, just the comms on the server admin, wasn't sure what, if anything you wanted me to do Andrew, but as per usual thanks for 'working'.  It does take a toll on the concentration some times, that would explain your little 'mishap' :)

Thanks to Phil and his setup, and reseting my wheel, and the advice on 'calibrating' the peddles in the pits, I survived. Man, with out all that I would have had to pull out with a crapped out shoulder!
Finally getting some better times meant some good racing, but braking this thing just has me flummoxed! I brake early only to still overshoot the very slow corners, brake a little latter only to lockup and then suffer understeer! But they sound and look great!
Sorry for the shunt Joe, must have been one of my few faster exits, missjudged the gap!
Rece 2 was very good if i ignore the final places, had many door to door runs, early on staying in contact with the main group... I can only get better!
and thanks again for doing all the work, I thought 2 cooks on the results was dangerous and watched the replay for a few minutes.

No worries Bruce, I had a better line than Rob and was concentrating so hard on getting on the power without spinning to go up the inside that I then doubted myself if I'd turned in to you. With no TS I just waited to see if you'd go first, but you didn't so I went, but by that time we'd both fallen a bit further back.
