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.

That's all the fault of @Yves Larose, because he didn't want to work together as a team.
You're not gonna get far in life with that "me, me" attitude, sometimes you gotta sacrifice things for the greater good. In this case the greater good would have been me getting away in the fat Jag, while Yves blocks the whole field. This would be a "win/win" situation, but only for me. So basically a "win" situation

.
Never again, from now on i fight on my own, forget teamwork

.

Sillyness aside, another fine evening.
There were some hickups at the start of race 1 but both races were pure fun.
Finished 3rd (or 4th?) in the Jag due to the trouble some guys in faster cars had at the start and me staying out of it. @Franklin Stegink and @Stig Bidstrup were out of reach for me, running their own race, i was focused on what was going on behind me
since i knew sooner or later the guys that crashed would be coming. But except a lapped Alfa bringing a bit of entertainment into the situation (sorry, don't know who that was, i had vehicle labels off) noone was coming closer and i finished in a satisfactory position for the MK2.

Race 2 was fun overdose, i like nothing more than pressuring more powerful cars in little handling wonders that close the gap in corners and that was exactly what i was doing through the whole race in an awesome battle for P3 with @Sven-Arne Andersson.
He opened a gap on the long straight, i needed about 3/4th of a lap to close it and got on his inside at the exit of the second to last turn in almost every single lap, which meant he was forced to take the last turn from inside lap by lap.
This in turn meant i could cross his line into the inside right before the finish straight which i did on most laps, resulting in me going over start/finish before Sven. Oviously he got his revenge a turn later on the long straight but if i kept at it i could finish 3rd.
But of all laps it had to be the last that i was kind of sloppy, so he got a bit further away than usual, just enough for me to not be able to do my last turn trick

.
Race felt like it was 7 minutes, so much fun.

Grats to @Franklin Stegink & @Stig Bidstrup, thanks to everyone else

Yes Jarek, that was one of my best races so far in Historix (Ok have not done so many yet but anyway) and so very tight and clean. I also want to mention that I was surprised how fast the Abarth was in corners.

Rui F. Martins · Apr 16, 2014

@Rupe Wilson - There is a possibility that I miss both races tonight because of a family gathering which I have forgotten totally which was of course not so appreciated.Sorry guys

Yves Larose · Apr 17, 2014

i was able to make race 2, done the praccy, the qualy, the warm up and went to the grid for the race, reved the car the lights went out and i dropped the clutch and boom the engine went

forgot to put the car in first gear

i guess i wasn't meant to race today

Steven Walker · Apr 18, 2014

I'm in.

JACK! Damn good to see you mate. Glad you could make it.

Probably gonna drive the Elan and Cortina for this race.

Yves Larose · Apr 18, 2014

@Rupe Wilson add me to the list please

Paul Bennett · Apr 18, 2014

Dropped in for race 2 and got my first podium 3rd, not bad only took me about a year an half to achieve

Well it was due to a small grid with 3 DNF's, so just myself Steve & Allan to fight it out. Had some fun racing with Steve, having a bit of extra speed in the Mini 1275 and the engine held together which was a bonus

The mod is starting to grow on me for sure
