Had a bad race 1 and then the connection dropped just before race 2.

I decided to call it a night. See you next week

Well mixed night for me, still finding my way around Net Kar after a break, and playing other sims! Not to mention being cautious.
Once again Ineed to thank Stephen fur the reminder of bonnet view, I hadn't even thought to look for the key in these cars.  (Assetto I have been emmursed using the dash view)
Over drive must of the night and squandered my lack of ballast :(
Next week!
Finding it a little easier on the hands with lighter steering FFB but need to get a balance where I still have some feel. ..
Thanks for the races all. Pleased the results didn't show I cause to much trouble.

Fantastic fun to be back! Really enjoyed last nite, had some great runs down the back and up the front of the field.
Finally started finding a nice consistent groove in race 3 trying to hunt down Liam with his light weight! I'm sure I'll have taken a fair hit of ballast due to it.
Missing XGN NKP to much! Might see you next week.... but the way things have been... Probably not!

That was an enjoyable nights racing, and my first win since one in the Osella.

The best racing for me was in races 1 and 3, as race 2 I got a good lead and avoided the slowing down effect of being
in traffic.  Sorry Wally for the hard hit up the rear in race 3, think I just braked a bit too late there. I would have still made the
corner without You there, but should have been a bit more cautious. I realise there is no benefit in readressing here, but
I still feel wrong just continuing after smacking someone off.

Can't believe I selected the F1800 in the Poll, these cars are great fun to drive, glad You made the final correct choice there Wally.

Couple of shout-outs:
Glen in race 1, sorry I ended the battle a lap and a half short, my bad. :(
Glen (again) & Liam in race 2 (first half), some good back and forth until 'the seas parted'. :o
Liam (again) & Tim in race 3, a fantastic couple of opening laps. ;D

Now I have to brush up on my Flemish....

Yeah, no need to redress with the penalty system. Best to just carry on and enjoy your race and let the points do the redressing. We all have to be careful to allow enough braking distance with these weak brakes when the car in front is loaded up with ballast and has to brake even earlier.

I agree - these cars are a heap of fun once you get the front/rear balance right and they can slide beautifully through corners.

Have to say I didn't realise this about the redressing, so good to know.
My race went pretty well with a great battle with Dave in R1 until he disappeared and  I found myself with a huge lead and quickly backed off in ballast management mode.
R2 Started well with a great battle with Liam and Dave until Liam unfortunately got the back of me and I dropped from 2nd to 6th which I held to the end.
R3: Starting down the back I worked very hard to slowly catch Ninja who was powering away in front, it wasnt until the second last corner when he went slightly wide and I slipped through, but it was a hard fought position.
