Race 2 practice 20 mins had started

 

[Dave Flower]

@Rupe Wilson - you didn't mention that you were opening a diving school....

 

[Rui F. Martins]

Had some great fun with this cars, despite having some hard time trying to keep them on the track
On the first race the car that started in f4ront of me spun and i couldn't avoid him, i spun and was in front of him for a couple of laps, he eventally passed me and i did the rest of the race ate the back, had some spins during the race, but was able to finish it without being lapped, which was very positive for me

on the second race i was able to start ate the midle of the field, made a good start, but i was quickly passed by the some of the cars that were behind me, and still in the first lap i tried to drift the car thorugh a corner a little bit more than i should, i spun and had to rejoin in 8th, i was able to keep in front of Guus, but a little after the middle of the race, when Guus was gaining time on me, we went to the lake, so i was confortably on the 8th position, on the last lap i passed by Dave and we were running the last lap when i spun on T4 ( i thiknk) and got stuck over the sidewalk, Dave stopped and pushed me off the sidewalk (thank you very much Dave you deserved a medal ), we did the rest of the lap together, not without another spin , i destroyed the rear tires when trying to get out of the sidewalk, Dave finished 7th and i finished in 8th place

congratulations to top3 aqnd those who finished in both races, it has been a while since i raced in gtlegends, i'll hae to try and find some time to get in it again

 

[Rupe Wilson]

Well it was good to bring out the LM55 's again
ran both races on the vintage tyres... man that was hard work...
took a swim in the 1st race whilst trying to chase down Guus after he got a good start and all did was slide off the line getting swamped by a few cars but once the tyres had warmed up i was having fun racing with Yves and then on my own with about a 10 second gap to Guus... then it all went glugg glugg.... got back out the lake and promptly nearly went in again.. I chased down mike over the last 2 or 3 laps..

Race 2 in the Ferrari on vintage tyres was also good fun again bogged the start and had to play catch up. I had 8 great laps bumper to bumper with Antonio pushing him all the way to the finish in his DBR2. i tried outside lines, insidelines, crossover's, you name it i tried it but i just didn't have the power to get by... Great fun all the same.. Good racing Antonio and real close


Roll on the next one

 

[Antonio Tavares]

Tell me Rupe, did you had a chance to use your periscope?

On a more serious note, that was some great racing. First race it was Steve breathing on my neck, and you on the second. I knew that you guys would pass at the minimum mistake, so I gathered all the concentration I had on reserve and did my best to keep a steady pace.
All in all, two great races with 2 great cars!

 

[Rupe Wilson]

I had practiced how to get out of the drink... it was a good job

 

[Kjell Eilertsen]

Loved the cars, especially the Ferrari, the Aston was harder to get to grips with but I think I´d manage with a little practice. Was knackered yesterday so I skipped race 2 (no it was not cos I didn´t like the Aston ), still a bit dizzy and out of energy today so I suspect a cold or such is approaching. Thanks for the fun yday, hope to see these cars again soon.

 

[Guus]

I really liked the Aston and hated the Ferrari. The Aston could be driven pretty smoothly without sliding, which I like. The Ferrari on the other hand was just trying to go all muscle car on me. I dont know how to be quick with sliding, and trying only made me even slower I ended up in the lake in my Ferrari and tried to get out, but the steering was completely broken. I had a fun race 1 just driving around in the Aston, could have been better with battles but I enjoyed the car. More of this Rupe but pls dont make me take the ferrari

 

[Steven Walker]

These cars are hard work. I had tried to get a little practice in a few days earlier and found them a bit of a hand full then. If it hadn't have been for that little bit of practice then I dare say I wouldn't have been able to finish ANY of the races. As it was though I seemed to do fairly well finishing 4th in the first race and 5th in the second race (would have been 4th if I hadn't have had a tiny little spin at the end of the lake and let @Allan Ramsbottom through)

@Antonio Tavares pulled off a couple of nice passes on me into the first corner on both races, well done mate and nice bit of trust you had in me not to turn in on you or spin out. I managed to stay with Antonio for a few laps but he was too quick for me and also had a bit of fun with @Yves Larose in the second race. He and @Guus Verver had a very graceful spin whilst going through the last turn and over the finish line. I saw it in my rear view mirror and had a little chuckle to myself. I'll give you both 8/10 for style guys.

It was a great night of racing and I enjoyed myself more than I thought I would. Thanks eveyone and see on the next track.
