Congratulations to Grat on pole, Grat and Matthew on the race wins, and Marty for the overall round win.
Lap 1 Penalties
Lots of action for the race stewards to check this round!
Race 1
- Slow_As braked too late and slid into the side of Seanus, making him lose position - penalty.
- There was a three-wide corner where Keith had to brake and moved right to avoid Cursed in front, bumping Nith into Seanus. All three cars were pretty much side-by-side at the time and unsighted - racing incident.
- Bird ran into the rear corner of Freezer after he had made the pass into the esses. It was a close call, but Freezer was in front at that stage - penalty.
- There was another 3 wide pinball effect between Keith, Cursed and Tom at the final corner - racing incident.
Race 2
- Freezer ran into the back of Wally - penalty.
- Kcender ran into the back of Grat - penalty.

Apologies guys. I might take a hiatus until Optus get their shit together and add some more capacity to their HFC network, it's getting straight up unusable during peak periods (even more so now during school holidays).

Was a strange night missed out on pole by a little to Grat but thats not unusual for me.
Race 1 had an ok start was side by side with Grat but we bumped at t2 and so I backed off hoping to get him later, tried to get past the rest of the race but ran out of ideas so came in 2nd.
Race 2 I wanted a better start but got some massive wheel spin out of t2 this time and nearly spun, losing positions to Kcender and Matthew. From here I wasn't sure if that was a bad thing as I thought maybe Kcender and Grat may get tangled up and not long after they did. This put me in 2nd again behind Matthew who had some good pace, early part of the race he was pushing trying to make a gap but I hung on then in the 2nd half I got closer and had a few looks. Again I couldn't find a clean pass anywhere and so it was 2nd again, its just quite hard to follow anyone here real close and if the guy ahead doesn't make a big error its not easy to get into a good position for a pass.

Didn't put the prac in for this track, never been a fan of silverstone, even less of a fan of no tyre warmers.
Race 1 I thought would go okay, but once again impatient drivers pushing and shoving cars including mine and not giving others room.. drivers seem to have enough trouble doing this with tyre warmers on, just worse with it off.. So damaged by other cars already on the first lap. front rear due to a small pile-up and side more than once by the same driver not giving room. Took me most of the race in the end to get back into the race, by this time my body was heating up badly (no air flow here) but managed a 2:07 PB for me. Finished where I expected.
Race 2 body was too stiff and hot and I had trouble breathing so couldn't put a decent lap together and could not concentrate so was best to quit, even though I'd prefer not to.
-
Great race one with Matt - side by side into maggots is ... fun :P
Second race I owe Grat a massive apology - my talent / judgement ran out on second to last corner of lap one when i thought i had left enough space to have grat cut across my line and not connect - i was wrong and didnt leave enough room, stopped and redressed but fear i ruined both our races - sorry man
-
Race 1, I lost several spots on the opening lap, with others around me being more aggressive, but I soon settled into place. I had some good early tussles with Simone, but the race ended up being relatively lonely, with a 5 or 6 second gap to Joe that I couldn't bridge, and Simone close behind all race, about 2 to 3 seconds back. I just put in consistent laps to finish where I qualified.
Race 2 was a lot more fun, with early chases with Cursed and Nith. There were a few position changes between us, a bit of passing, criss-crosses... very good racing. Eventually I got away from both of them after they made little mistakes and I was close enough to capitalise. From there, after I let teammate Grat past, it was just trying to get within 10 seconds of Joe who I knew had a cutting penalty coming. I was close, but couldn't make it, finishing 10.7 seconds behind him.
Two top 10 finishes (just), so I'm pleased with that.
-
Apologies again for the race 1 start.
Just as I went for 2nd my PC locked up for 5-6 sec, next thing I know I'm in the grass on the other side of the track. :-[
It happened again at Luffield so I quit before I screwed up more people.
Didn't mean to be a dick. :(

No worries, mate. It happens. I watched the replay and it went exactly like that. All good.
You actually did not manage to redress, as I was facing the track and so could not rejoin until the whole pack passes and found myself in 20th position :(
As for the races: I could have maybe got more points if it was not for the crash. But had lots of fun! Race one was a battle of nerves. I knew Marty was a bit faster, but for the first 9 laps or so, I was managing to keep the pace to avoid him trying to hard to pass me. Once my tyres lost their prime, though, I had to start defending massively. He tried the inside and the outside at least 3 times each. But having watched WEC, F3, and ELMS the whole weekend, I had a good idea on where and how to shut the door. Miraculously, it worked!
Race 2... well, yes, from 1st to last (20th) in one corner is never nice. But the 20th to 8th in 13 laps was quite some fun. And not an easy one---you guys are pretty fast, all of you. And my congratulations to everybody. Got 2 passes at Copse and 3 at Stowe, one on the outside! Some nice moments through brooklands/luffield and even a pass on the outside at club (had no idea it was possible---thank you, Simone). AND NOT ONE CONTACT, not even a little one. I know each of us has his bad memories. But I think this is an impressive field!

Not the best qually for me with traffic and mistakes. Was at 17th and just managed an okay lap at the end of time for 9th.
Started okay and was at the back of the mael, phil, diehard, shayne train. Was getting closer to shayne but made a mistake coming into the back straight and lost some time. Soon after my framerate when apeshit for half a lap stuttering massively. I could see on my keyboard lcd it was under 30fps. Luckily it jumped back up again and i could contine and finish 9th.
Race 2 appeared like it was going to be a similar story behind shayne until he spun off at the end of the back straight. I was with diehard for a bit but a few mistakes opened that gap. Towards the end i could see kcender getting closer and closer but i had 3 cuts and was taking it easy . Was fairly sure i could keep the place but made several stupid mistakes then spun off giving me my 10 sec pen. Straight away checked times to those behind. Grat was too close but wally was 9 seconds behind so put my foot down and managed to open the gap leaving me in 8th.
-
Also: apologies to Marty for the touch at t...3, I think in lap 1 of race 1. My PC started stuttering like crazy and for 2 or 3 seconds I was not completely sure where I was! Thankfully it was a minor thing and it passed. Thanks a lot for the rest of the race! I really enjoyed it!
-
I just discovered I was 24th---not 20th... wow. Now I see why it felt cool ;)
-
Was hoping for a good result here but it was not to be.
Qualified 13th after having been a bit quicker in practice.
R1: Got away well but got tagged by Bird into Maggots which spun me and sent me all the way back to 22nd. From there I pushed hard even dipping into the 2.05 club
and managed to get back around 10 spots.
R2: One of those moments when you hit the brakes into T1 and go "Oh Sh#t" as everyone is stopping just that bit quicker than you. With that I promptly hit the rear of Wally.
Some skillful driving saw him catch it and not loose to much. Sadly a lap later I spun exiting Stowe and hit the wall. With a right hand down wheel, smashed screen and mostly missing
front spoiler I pushed on. Drove hard and got bunch of spots but the car didn't really have the pace due to damage.
I did note during the race that I wasn't seeing any track cut info on screen, but the post race results clearly indicate I got time penalties on both races.... :(:(:( Need to fix that!
Well done to Mael for holding up our team status with a big haul of points.

Shit! my mistake again - I saw you facing the track next to me parked on the outside of the corner then saw you drive toward the track - when I flicked around I saw a red car drive off and not being able to read plates in the Rift, assumed it was you and hopped in behind and somehow missed your actual car completely :S Punt me into the scenery next week and we'll call it even - I think i deserve it :P

Ahahah! Don't be silly! You did the right thing---whether you meant it or not. We already have penalties for lap 1 incidents. No need to screw up your race more just for a silly redress. If there is a safe way to rejoin in an orderly manner, then go for it, of course!
-
Between my stupidness, tiredness, lack of praccy and the shoddy downshifts it was a shit of a night, hence I pulled out early.
Sorry for all the problems I've caused, especially to Freezer, I don't know how did I misjudge that corner so badly that we still had an overlap going in.
-
I enjoyed last night's racing even though I am still only doing the one race on the night. Being at the back of the field I just tried to not get caught up in the chaos - just stuck my elbows out and held my lines through the first few corners. Couldn't avoid some bangs but at least stayed on track. Once the running order settled I did some consistent laps and only lost concentration for a couple of laps towards the end.
The Porsche+Silverstone combo is great and I am starting to know Silverstone well enough to be able to lap without spinning. I only sometimes got the lines through the corners correct but at least I am beginning to see where I am going wrong.
The new grip progression made the driving much more predictable at the start of the race ( thanks Wally!)
On another note - AC NetCode really shines these days. Last night I inadvertently was recording 2 concurrent streaming TV shows on our Fetch TV while racing. I saw my ping go up and turn RED for a while but AC seemed to handle everything perfectly. I do have a 100mb/s connection however.

Goood round :)
After a solid qualifying performance and good start I ended up 5th after the first lap. However I soon cracked under Phil's pressure running wide and allowing him an easy pass. From there it was a hard slog pushing every lap to try and keep Phil within sight. Strangely Phil lost a bit of time on the last two laps culminating with a mistake before the last chicane, A bit of bumping and scraping left me exciting the corner alone for 5th place. Apologies if the contact was my mistake Phil!
Race 2 was all about a top 10 place, that was until Grat & Kcender bingle. Suddenly a podium position was on offer which I was going to fight hard for! With Phil behind me I followed one simple rule.....must hit the apex. After doing what felt like a PB on every lap and some dubious defensive maneuvers a third place finish just ahead of Phil. ;D
I saw Freezer's cuts and knew he was having a battle in the mid-field wars, the races are certainly easier with a good qualification position! But the end result was still good for Maki Engineering.

Congratulations for your podium Mael!!!
Not bad race at all the first one,i was feeling part of the car,and i was in control :P :P Tried hard to destroy Wally but he was too good,well done Wally!!! Another positive thing is that i touched the 2.05s and i am happy eheheee
Second race...DUNNO....hahahaaa at the first corner i saw this car in front of me...BANG!!! You know how demoralizing is watching those car passing by in front you i mean a more serious racer would have fought back. but not me and after fighting a bit with AJ i retired,the r too many fast ppl not easy to make up 8) 8)
All good a fun night
Please can someone post the first 20 sec of race 2??? thx
-
Does someone have a replay of both races? I'd be very keen to see the first lap of each.
cheers
-
I started 9th in both races and seemed the first 10 cars got away with no incidents but a bit of carnage right behind me :o

Thanks Marty for the replays.
Race 1:
My apologies to Seanus for out braking myself on the first lap and giving you a nudge. Even though you were back in front of me by the next straight - 2 others got by you as a result of my tap. Unfortunately it turned worse for you after that as you got skittled by others in the next corner.
-
OK only this morning i had the time to look at the replay(thx Marty) so.....first corner race 2,freezer hit wally,freezer loses control hitting ninth,ninth loses control hitting Simone......Simone looses control.........i lose
