[Peter van Zanten]

Sorry race fans I have to cancel for the race from Snetterton today.

 

[Howard Jacks]

I should be along but will need to get and practice the track. Or is this the one with lots of grass walls?

 

[Tim Ling]

sorry, wont be there tonight

 

[Jacob Boonstra]

I heard from a secret sourse that Jacob is going away for 2 weeks to GTL leauge boot camp for specail car control and advanced setups .....
But this is only a rumour .....

Damn...you got me
Those aliens can't keep their mouth shut....

 

[Senad Subasic]

Did great in quali 1. 9 litres of fuel, hit all corners right, and went almost a second faster than in practice. My second ever pole.

Messed up the start. I shouldn't even write that anymore, it's a given. Lost a couple of positions.
Racing first with Roland, then with David. David messed up turn 1 or 2, lost a lot of speed, and I was right behind, so there was some bumping. Sorry about that.
Ended somewhere in the middle I think.

3rd in quali 2, and an okay start actually, didn't lose that much. Although, I suspect mostly because of traffic; I saw Stuart weaving about and having to brake behind me. I tried to go as far right as I could; any more, and I'd be calling Nick Griffin a liberal.
Was trying to overtake David on the inside of the hairpin, when he braked way too late, flew past me and made contact with Stuart ahead. So I got two places, up to third, where I stayed till the end.

Great pace by the guys up front. I gained a couple of tenths on Jacob in one sector, but lost them in another, no way to get close, so just cruised till the end.
Poor little engines with middle gear ratios

Thanks to Stuart and all racers, see you all next week.

 

[Roland]

Good racing as usual, but I still haven't mastered FWD starts..
Had some good slipstreaming fun with Senad at the beginning of R1, but slowly dropped into a big lonely-racing-gap being unable to keep up with Stuart and Howard.. Who later on ended my loneliness as he recovered from encountering the bridge.. only to steadily pull away from me again.. .

R2 held some good racing action as well. Had a little contact with David; was unable to grant him enough room when he ran wide in front of me, so accidently tapped him around, with him accidently returning the favour in almost exactly the same spot one lap later. Didn't do our grid positions any good, but it sure as heck was funny!

Tnaks all, CU next week for the series finale!

An event to forget.
Race 1 I was way off the pace. With a too optimistic manouvre I nearly rammed Jack off the track as I couldn't brake for the hairpin. I let him pass and went home in 8th or 7th.
Race 2 was started when I came back from my toilet I read it in the chatlog...I must have left shortly before the question came, if everybody is safe to go...
I couldn't answer and was surprised the race was already in progress. The first time we took a shortcut in time? It had been 2:30 left only by then...
