Congratulations Denis, you knew you had that win coming..
I'm happy to see most of you gents had a good time, unfortunately I had a few things in the way of that myself..

First and foremost, I should learn once and for all that I'm hopeless in FWD cars.. I've done plenty of races in the default Mini, I even drove a race series in one at some point, I have a few really good setups, but I just can't adapt to FWD driving style when needed. So in the first race I was fighting myself more than racing you gents..

Second, that Group5 Mini is quite a little beast with bad temper. Even with about half an hour of free practice I still couldn't get the thing to keep facing the right direction.. So I really should stay away from cars that are both FWD and require... err... offline practice!?! Yuck!

On top of that there was another ongoing issue that kept me from staying focused, but which I won't discuss here..

The combination of the latter two however was enough to make me quit R2 after just a few laps..
Quite immature, I know and I'm sorry, but I was just NOT enjoying myself..

Grats to the guys on podium, thanks Rupe for the event, and once again sorry for being a bad sport..

Not good for me in the 1275, no practice at all really just a few laps on the night. Steve's setup helped but I was still locking the brakes and kept missing brake points for the hairpins

Congrats to Denis on your first win mate

last nite was not so good for me,i cud,nt get to grips with the little chap at all.race 1 i was all over the place,and after a slight mishap with @Denis Betty in the double apex,i ran a bit wide and denis seeing a gap went for it ,i managed to save it,gearing dwn an flooring it back on to the track,but unfortuanatley we collided and i came off..well decent of denis to wait on the side lines for me,but on looking at reply i think i was more the guilty party,it was a close call, i dont no,,anyway sorry m8 for you comin last....
