Great work Fez 

Good racing tonight, although everyone was pretty quiet tonight, especially on TS. Maybe it was because we had low numbers tonight.

Yeah great night guys 

Whacked it on poll in qually, I think that was my first in this series ?

Race 1, got off to a great start and lead the race the whole way just trying to manage the gap. Was like qually laps every lap !

Race 2, started 10th, got another great start, got to 3rd behind Felden and had a great dice with him and GroupCAction behind.
After a few laps GroupCAction found his way past, a lap of 2 later at the end of the back straight both GroupCAction & Felden both disappeared, lagged or glitched for a slit second, they appeared in front but both sideways out of control.
Not sure if I tagged GroupCAction when they disappeared or not ?
It looked all a bit messy anyway, not long after I found myself in the lead of the race.
Did a pit stop just over half way, decided to change the front tyres only, BIG MISTAKE ! 
Putting new tyres on the front completely upset the balance of the car, making the rear uncontrollable ! 
I did the same thing at Hampton downs, so I should have known 
Anyway came out the pits in 3rd not far behind the leaders, but with a car that's out of control, I couldn't do a thing except hold onto 3rd place as I did.

Bring on next week !! 
Hopefully we get some numbers again ?

I wasn't expecting to make it, so I did zero practice, didn't even have a set-up. Narrowly missed qually and spent the warm-up learning the track. I was much slower than everyone else, but still had fun.

I waved some front runners through going into the hairpin and then locked up and slid into them! Oh dear! I sat and waited for them to get going again and I hope I didn't change their order.

Didn't change tyres in the long race and put 35 litres in with 10 minutes to go. Surprised and happy to finish in the top 10.

Thanks for the racing again guys had a blast! As has been mentioned by others the numbers were low which was a shame, but the quality was still good none the less. I brought along my mate for his first ever sim race (rx7techo) he had a few issues, just usual learning stuff but had decent pace on his clean laps and had a good time. As for our coming together on lap 7, it was just a race incident. I tried to overtake 1st, the door was shut and I had to lift mid turn, groupC saw and moved offline to avoid me and then it just concertinad, you into group C him into me. Just 1 of those things. Bring on barbagello!
