Thanks for the quick results, I do like looking at the Thursday's results.
Well what a great night's racing, with only a small field, once again the car/track combo proved to be fantastic.  It's a pity more don't have the Thursday to come along, they don't know what they are missing.

Well race one, I had possie 2, and stuffed the start, which I can normally nail, tucked in some where around 4/5 and started to work on consistency and with others have an incident slipped  through to finally trying, NOTE: trying, to track down Phil... well I worked out that wasn't going to happen with Phil showing clean exhausts, (my apology for the mixed metaphor), and realised Humper was working on me and concentrated on staying on the track!
Race 2 was a hoot, with having to work hard, very happy to take advantage of a mishap of Phil and ? and slipping through... looking forward to next week... see you there!

Race 1: While concentrating hard to try and bridge that gap to Flattop I somehow managed to post a lap 2 seconds faster than I could do in quali with no idea where I made that time? Couldn't repeat that lap and Flattop keep his advantage but had a lot of fun trying to get him.

Race 2: No steering when the grid moved away for formation lap. Had to do a quick reset on the wheel which got me going but with no force feedback. So spent race 2 swerving all over the track like I was drunk, desperately driving on the grass trying not to take anyone out. Still had a lot of fun so thanks Phil

I had never driven Gentrack before, because I thought with such a crap name it was gonna be a crap track. Turns out it's an awesome track (but it still has a crap name).

Gentrack is great.

With no practice whatsoever and jumping in late into race 1, I had real trouble acclimatising to the brakes. I kept spearing off the track under braking, which saw me come last in both races. Yay me.

Yeah the braking is easily the trickiest part with the 550 S1, but on the other hand it is so easy to control oversteer out of corners!

it has quickly become a favourite for all of us, the name is off putting, I can't understand why they didn't channel their creativity just a little further and named it better.
This is a track that needs to be used once every season.

It is a great Track, I think even Guybrush approves of it
