Good fun again, thanks guys, and what a classy track this is.
Race 1: I chose the Jag , and even though I knew it was very slow, it has a character all it's own, in a Queen Mary sort of way :snicker:. It's so hard to imagine you are driving a race car when you are looking over a huge woodgrain dash. Qualified last as expected, and thought I'd be in for a lonely cruise at the tail, but due to a few spins in front (well
Ulli had a few,
), I had company from Ulli, Stuart, and even Knut for a while. The Jag eventually became too wide for Stu to pass at the end, sorry mate. :fish:
Race 2: The tiny Abarth this time, what a contrast to the Jag. It took me all of practice to re-learn the track and stop myself from turning in to turns about a minute too early, and then remembering to brake about 200 metres later at the end of the straight. Ivo (in the Elite) and I spent much of the early part of the race trying to find a way past the huge Mustang of Ulli, who would just blast away down the straight, but we were all over his tail by the time we were into the twisty stuff. I harrassed Ulli's tail relentlessly hoping he would make a mistake, but it took ages. After finally putting in all the hard work to open a gap and sneak up to P4, I overdrove it through the twisty hump and spun off. I was quickly swamped by Ivo, Ulli, and Amir, so we started a great little scrap (between 4 very different car types), but sadly it all ended when Ulli missed his braking point (I assume) and pushed me off track at the end of the straight. No probs Ulli. Amir waited for me on the last lap, so we had a great little battle home, thanks Amir. :wink:
That is it for me for about a month, have fun and see you all when I return from holidays. :yo:
