Rules:
If you have not entered the server and driven a few laps with fellow drivers before we go to qualifying you are to late for that session. Please think of your fellow drivers and get out on track with them, watch how they drive, you can't race with guys you have not seen drive.
We ALL brake a little differently and drive the corners differently, get used to how they drive and then we can all race more safely.
If you drop out of the server during qualifying you can return.

This is being held in our Club, using Club Rules, and should be driven in that spirit.

20 mins practice race 3

 

[Allan Ramsbottom]

sorry @Roland Warmenhoven in 2nd race..hit my clutch pedal instead of brake..

 

[Roland]

NP Allan.
Apologies @Jack Smith for touching your car. FWIW..I did wait

Thx to Staff for the event.

EDIT @Allan Ramsbottom: Oh I misread.. race 2? I think that wasn't me as I didn't feel any contact in all of R2, and in R3 it wasn't you who collected me either..

 

[Denis Betty]

It was me that hit @Roland Warmenhoven at the start of R3. Sorry Roland. I came off the gas too early and jumped back on at just the wrong time (again). Sorry once again Roland.

 

[Jack Smith]

No problem @Roland Warmenhoven.

Thanks for the event Rupe.

 

[Roland]

No problem @Denis Betty , it's only right after the incident I was slightly disappointed as I think I had just grabbed the lead, and the avoidance of T1 incidents had been mentioned like 5 times on TS that night, hence my comment over TS.
But hey, you did what you needed to and waited and after all it's only a game so just forget about it.

 

[Warren Dawes]

Time for a slightly more positive report.
I enjoyed driving these little rockets, this mod certainly is a big improvement on the default Abarth TC. The modelling looks high quality, they are quite quick around Mondello, especially with that extra ooomphh combined with crisp handling.
So this event had plenty of grin factor.

Everyone (well mostly) was running similar laptimes, so racing was close and frantic at times. It's such a shame that we are getting too many "incidents" spreading drivers out a lot, especially these turn 1 bingles. Fortunately I managed to avoid most of them, so I had some quality racing in most of the races.
Race 3 turned into a good, close, and very clean scrap with Rupe for most of the race, with Franklin catching us both and pipping me right on the finish line, just behind the winning Rupe.

Thanks to Rupe for organising.

Yes I know... I'm disappointed with myself. Back to the drawing board for me. Maybe I should stick a post it note with a first lap check list to my screen. We all know how it feels to be taken off. Sorry. I will re-double my efforts for clean driving.
