AC Ginetta GT4 @ Cadwell Park - Sunday 10th March 2024

[Interslice]

PITSTOP....are you required to anything, or just a stop and go?

Hi Craig. You need to add a litre of fuel to clear it. Or change tyres, but tyre change is not really a good idea with the ginetta.

 

[Interslice]

Fuel strategy will be interesting here. Seemed to be a good mix of setups at barcelona. Add 1 litre all the way to 50:50 split.

Nice one Craig. I seen you ran the GT3 cars here back in the day so this should be fine Walk in the park!!

just read some of the comments, I thought I had my FOV miles off, the car feels more like a lorry here.

Track limits update!

Be careful at the Gooseneck, a year or so ago Han ran the minis here and I went wide onto the grass. The game picked up that I was on the Park straight (I wasn't) and put me a lap down. Then every lap after then it deducted another lap meaning I ended up several laps behind the pack. Weird!

You're in Fulvio!

@Craig Dunkley I've added you with the RHD version. You can change or pick a livery using the link at the bottom of the 1st post. Just hit register again.

Jari FYI You are in a RHD. Maybe a error?

Haven't figured how to make the LHD default yet..

I've been away for a long weekend so no practice. I don't know the track but I have signed up, anyway. I'll pootle along at the back and gain more experience in the Ginetta.

just remembered our daylight savings time dates aren't the same and I had some work scheduled for 5pm my time, which I thought would be just after the race ended. Unfortunately with the 1hr later start, I'm going to have to miss this week

Be at the next one for sure! Have fun today all

 

[johnny85ac]

Congrats Jason, in fact you are the winner, awesome fastest lap as well! also very well done reik, sadly you went off track in the second last lap, otherwise I wouldn't have had any chance.

What a hell of a ride

Nice racing everyone as always, and thanks Brian for organizing and finding this beautiful track

 

[Douglas Aird]

Wow, that was a sweaty race!

Zero practice on a new track so was ok with p10 in qualifying but I wasted some faster laps.

Got a decent start then I misjudged how much space I had and touched Pat who span. I waited so was dead last and lost all momentum and a lot of time. Apologies, Pat, I think you had a little tap on the brakes just as I was overlapping and it caught me out.

Got my head down and made zero big mistakes. I had a mid race pit and it was a bit lonely until Paul then Brian pitted and came out just before me.

Fantastic last 15-20 minutes battling, especially with Paul. I had slightly better pace but he kept it on the road and I couldn't find a way past. Great racing, Paul, and thankfully I didn't run into the back of you!

P8 in the end, I'll take it.

Thanks to everyone who raced and thanks, Brian, for organising.

Really nice racing Doug, you were slightly quicker than me but on such a narrow track it’s very hard to overtake cleanly. You did a great job in not being tempted into a send and for me it was one of the most intense races ever.
Good battles too with Brian, I couldn’t get into a nice rhythm around here but inherited several places as others went off, one scary moment early on when Rob missed his braking at the end of the Park straight behind me and missed hitting my front by a whisker, as he sailed past and onto the grass.
Well done podium and thanks Brian for organising.

 

[Interslice]

Nice racing fellas. What a section of corners that is over the hill! It reminds me alot of Bathurst, more so than the Nurburgring.

Great racing with Paul, Rob, Doug.

Always great racing a new track(for me) with you guys. Can learn so much if I can keep up! I thought i was my limit in qualy but went a full 2 seconds faster in the race. Made about 4 PBs in a row following Paul

Thanks to all for racing, congrats to the podium and finishers, see you for the next one!

 

[robthesquare]

That was more fun than expected. I qualified fairly well, but it took me a few laps to adjust to race pace.

Finding the appropriate places to pass safely was a challenge (my apologies for the close calls with Brian and Paul). During the opening laps I made a few errors that took me from 4th to 10th or 11th. However, over the course of the hour I managed to make it back to 5th.

Congrats to the podium, you guys had some impressive lap times!
