Your reviews etc of Winton..

Please note something funny happened to Webber end of race 2 and he ended up cutting across track, Rfactor did not count the lap and Shazam was awarded 5th position for race 2.

What a cracking pair of races, great driving by everyone

It was pretty close between everyone here at this round, milo set a great time in qualifying that was hard to match. On my last qualifying lap i managed to jump up to second on the grid.

Race 1 - I knew i had to try and jump milo on the start as i thought he might ease off into the distance with a clear road. I didnt get a great start, but had a good clean run through the esses and managed to get up the inside of milo into turn 3. From there i put my head down and got abit of a lead while everyone else battled for second. After a while Wally got to second and started to eat into my lead. I was still about 2secs clear when i made a mistake entering the new bit of the track, which put Wally right on my bumper. I managed to just hold him off though to take the win.

Race 2 - It all went wrong for me here, i got a bad start, and then fell off the track at turn 3. I rejoined in 3rd, behind Wally and milo. I tagged onto milo and followed him up to Wally, where i thought them two having abit of a battle might allow me to slip through somewhere. It was a close battle between them... but when i saw my chance to attack i promptly locked up my rears into turn 1 and sailed off the track.... i rejoined in 4th behind Webber, and was looking forward to battling him when something funny happened to his car and it disappeared (connection related perhaps)... from there i tried to catch the leaders but a few errors cost me and by the end my tyres were shot, so a third place it was.

Fantastic driving by everyone. A great pole from milo, hope to see you at more of the races. A great pair of races from Wally, you seem to have found a macth with the Volvo, your races have been very consistent and very quick. Benny will be very dangerous in the Sierra next round at Wanneroo, as will dano in the Commodore, you were both doing a great job of wrestling those cars around a track very unsuited to them lol. Great driving from Shazza too, you set some great laptimes, the M3 might be a keeper?

Hi all, Racer is right. Last night was some of the closest and intense races I have seen for a while.

Qualifying, I was blown away by Milo's speed =. I had got to a point where I thought I was pretty good in times but Milo blew us all away in Qual.

Race 1 was a fantastic battle at the start with Benny Milo and Racer69 who had managed to get himself a buffer while the three of us slogged it out.
I thought the best way was to try be as consistant as I could be and it paid off after I managed to slip in front of a determined Benny. Set out after Racer69 who drove a fantastic race to hold me off, watch the last 2 or 3 laps . WD Racer

Race 2 I went for consistancy again and it paid off. Managed to hold out Milo and Racer69 this race.
Finished first and am stoked with one of my toughest fought nights overall.

WD to all who showed, it was a fantastic event made by all of you. and WD also to Benny first race and Racer69 and Milo.

W26

Had a play around on the server sunday arvo and tunned in what was possible in the sierra ADD FUEL TO THE TOP complete one lap and FILL TO THE TOP AGAIN then every third lap stop for tyres repeat step 2 and 3 till the end of race maybe stop once or twice to

In Qual No hope of getting anywhere near Milo what a lap but batlled Wally26 for the whole qual session trading better times for second until Racer69 through down an amazing lap to pip us both

Race One
Found my self in second after the first few corners and allthough the Sierra is a handfull and overal slower in race pace than wally and milo I had to much grunt in a straight line for them to do much about getting past. Was holding on quite well for about 10 mins till the sierra decided that it had seen the drifting demo's between races and wanted to have a crack at that for the balance of the race (forgot my tuning method add fuel every lap). Wally got through and then milo but he had a spin and I decided more fun to wait for him and we both pretty much played around for the balance of the race waiting for each other as our cars decided they wanted to go the opposite direction we were wanting. Milo Blew I tyre near the end I kept going to finish 3rd.

Race 2
Got a good start but the volvo's got past early and I was left by myself trying to look after my tyres. In between races somehow had managed to switch my setup to mediums Had a couple of spins and was racing a bit with dano and webber. Rear tyres just got two hot and bailed out.

Good Night had great battle in race one with wally and Milo shame about mistake in race two was enjoying race the night
