Ditto, anything to take the mind of quakes is good in my books. No practice here either.

you will still clean up I hope that chicane isnt as hard as it was with the FBM

Great racing last night guys, gratz on the pole steala, shame you didnt have the pace in the races Well done to you too thornz cleaning up again. Bit frustrated with my 2nd race crashed on the first lap after i have no idea what happened but all of a sudden cars were basically stopped in front of me, ohwell cant complain with third

I think the pile up in race two was probably my fault, I put a RR wheel on the grass coming into the left hander onto the back straight and was recovering on the racing line (no choice!) so cars probably backed up. There were a few lagging cars, and they always tend to end up 'stopped' on your screen as LFS code applys the brakes full until it realises the car is still moving and jumps it 100m down the track.

I was a little bit gutted as I messed up my qualy lap and was over a second slower than my PB. Then in race 1 I couldnt get into any kind of grove and was going real slow through the chicane after my near disaster there in qualy, so I just never got anywhere. Race 2 was much better as I got a good start (from same grid place as race 1!) and finally found a rhythm. Not really any battles worth speaking of as people who passed were much faster and breezed by, or people I overtook were either recovering, being lapped, or running out of fuel (eh Chris )

Fun racing as always, and one of few races where my computer behaved for the whole time!

4 race restarts in the first race

good racing and congrats to steala for that blister of a lap

Cheers dude! Yeah, I figured out why and it was because I forgot to re-adjust my final drive on my race set!!! Dohhhhhhhh I was wondering why I wasn't getting the same pickup.. Oh well..

Oh and thanks Krayy for not turning up, finally I got Pole! Hahahaha just kidding dude..

Thanks for the results. Sorry to be a pain (again...) but you may want to check it again . Also dunno bout everyone else weights but my weight was 15kgs for round 2 but in the results table it says r2 20kgs.

sorted, was working with a old version of results sheet and didnt realise. all sweet now.

Check your weights for the next round....got afew people on low weights, should really start making a difference now; with Thorns up to 45KG will it be enough for others to catch him...watch sly_guy to be quick on 10kg and steala down to 0kg as well....interesting round coming up here at SOUTH CITY CHICANE...2 nice long straights for the ligher guys to use their superior top speeds, corners coming onto those 2 will be cruicial.
