    Congratulations Dmytro on becoming a father. I hope all is well with Mother & baby? Now you will have someone to teach your driving skills to!

    Thanks Bob! :redface: It was not easy, but they're both well done. Аnd I hope that everything will be okay.
    And of course, now my son will not only listen constant roar of the engines in mother's abdomen, but perhaps with time, I can put him at the steering wheel.:D

    Yet another DNF for me.

    Was running most of the race around 8th place having a close battle with Tom (too close at times - sorry for the taps Tom). Around lap 20 I was again too close around the outside of Tom sliding around turn one, tapped him and spun myself into the barriers. Tried to creep back on track but unfortunately got in the way of someone else (Stuart?) very sorry. Car wrecked, so left the race.

    Congrats Dmytro! I'm next, someday in this or next year. :)

    Tonight according to pingtest - 88% of packet loss. Strange thing that ping is normal on pingtest or speedtest, about 60ms.

    Very happy with my race :)

    Bad start, as usual. Then forgot that my braking is a bit better than some people in front, braked later and almost hit Bob. Had to swerve off track, and ended up 10-15 seconds behind in the first lap. I had some pace, so caught up not too long after.

    Don't know how to overtake, so was driving behind people I was a second or so faster all the time. First Jack, couldn't pass him, until he made a mistake.
    After that, Erling, also couldn't pass him. Tried a silly lunge in the last lap, but went onto the grass.

    Very pleased that there weren't any contacts, even though I was pretty close to people.
    Also, very consistent laps. Had a smile while watching my splits, +0,019, -0,028... :). 8th fastest lap overall, wow :woot:

    Somewhat disappointed with 15th, but it was good fun, cheers all :)

    Well regardless of the result, i was just glad to make the finish of that race. My connection seemed to hold firm and i was finally able to relax and enjoy driving.

    Q - managed to string some good laps together and had 6th on the grid.

    R - I knew the vette would be at an advantage, i got decent start without spinning the rears too much. I was targetting 1st by T1 by Andreas got a real tank-slapper off the line and I had to back off to avoid his car as it veered back accross the track. Still managed to squeeze up to 2nd for T1 and was fully prepared to be punted off into the fencing the second i hit the brake. However, with some excellent driving for the following pack behind I made it through T1!! Things were looking good!!!

    For the rest of Lap1 the vette was still in warm up mode and the tyres wouldn't grip, kept running wide and lost some places. The car still rocketed down the straight at a frankly quite frightening speed. However, the track is more Top speed based then accelleration that the vette favours so the balance wasn't as much in my favour as at Rouen. I also had my first experiance of UNDERSTEER in the vette.....the combination of lots of hanging corners and harsh braking knackered my rubber something rotten. By the end of the race I was having to give it a bootfull out of every bend to get the nose to react.

    Had some good battles, and some annoying offs but generally a good race. Raced with David (until he fell off the track, hope i wasn't to blame!), Dymtro, Amir and Nigel at times. Managed to drag the old duchess home 9th (i think). First points of the season!!!

    Thanks for setting up as alwasy Stu, great event! Well done to all who took part!
