Looks like i missed a great night

Philip Brown · Jan 27, 2014

Fun event, great track! I couldn't match the lap times of the top qualifiers, but with some help from Warren's online setup, I had a very drivable car for the races. I made it as high as 2nd place in Race 1, but couldn't hold off the combined challange of Roland and Allen, who where all over me as the laps counted down to finsh 4th.
In race 2, I had a slow start but found my pace several seconds behind Roland, unforturnatly he got turned around as we tried to navigate an accident. Congrates to Steve and Franklin for their wins and Steve, Roland and Allan for the podium.
Thanks Rupe, sorry you missed it, but you couldn't have a better excuse!

Great fun as usual gents! Especially in race 1, I had a blast with Allan and Phil on virtually identical pace.. This car is so easy to drive compared to the default one I had a hard time keeping my focus, especially when I was all alone in 2nd place in R1, so I made a few mistakes, which wasnt bad at all as that brought me right back into the action

The reverse track in R2 was not really easy for me. Had a really really hard time navigating those neverending Esses and the following hairpin. My pace was again pretty identical to some of the other guys, too identical to be able to have a battle even, but we had some fun nonetheless

until I wrecked the car over an invisible wall in the final corner of the final lap and couldn't get back on track again.. my first DNF in quite a while..

Grats to the podium finishers and thx all!
