More great fun and the usual truckload of action in these STCC events. These races are extremely intense and full of close racing. I must compliment everyone first, considering how tight these tracks are and how close everyone is, the driving standards were excellent, well in terms of clean patient racing anyway :sinister: .

These little STCC tracks all seem to have some nasty little surprise sections, and this one was no different. During practice, I had about a 50% record of spinning in the tight little bumpy chicane at the end of the straight, so I knew it would get me at some stage. And it did, at least twice.

I chose the Volvo S60, so I could show off my new skin designed by William, but it was a big handfull on this tight track. Not exactly nimble.

Since I had disconnection problems, I wasn't too sure whether to try a qualy lap, but thought I might as well find out early. Didn't do a good lap, but my connection survived (phew!).

Race 1 confirmed my fears in that nasty chicane, and about lap 5 I spun it badly, right in front of Cam who pulled off one of the best examples of evasive action I have seen to somehow miss me. I managed another two spins later, but obviously others were copying me, so I managed to finish in P6.

Race 2, after starting P4, I moved to P2 for a few laps, and did my best to hold off the quick guys behind me so that my Aussie mate, Cam, could get a gap out in front. It wasn't hard making the S60 wide, it has a huge rear anyway, and it waggles it frequently, as I'm sure Gary was finding out. In the pits, I got a birds eye view of Gary and Cam making out in the pit exit. This time, I managed to keep the S60 somewhere near the tarmac, and avoided the nasty spins, finally finishing P4.

Thanks to William for organising this, these STCC events are really different and great fun.

An epic fight for about an hour with Stevie P, The Croucher and Paulo - absolutely superb chaps, clean and (relatively) fast all the way through.

Absolutely magnif. :good:

And i felt great, fantastic! :clap2:

Qualified 14th on the 39 second. Start went well, got the 11th place at first lap.
For about 15 minutes i was trying to fight with David Lemon and Neil Gault (i believe we were dicing for 6th place at that moment, after a 4 car incident on the back straight). They were a bit faster than me but i kept them in sight untill the pit stop.
Exit pits just in the midlle of Matt Crouch, Steven Palmer and Stuart Thompson. And from there it was an intense, hard, amazing, cool, clean and fair batlle untill the last second. :thumb: I really was having so much fun, that i could carry on for more 80 minutes.

Most intense and close race was with Stuart tho. By the way when we were lapped, i took my chance and followed bump to bump the driver that was lapping us, overtooking Stuart - despite of a clean manouver, i didn't feel well doing that - and gave Stuart the inside line on the right corner after the chicane, however i exit better and passed Stuart on the next right corner. Great race! One of the best so far! Must see replay.:clap:
You all provided a huge fun race night to me. Awesome, just awesome!

Finished 7th, but to be honest, i could finish in any place behind, there were plenty of great driving. :yo:
Congrats to Ben, fantastic pace. :first:
Excellent track choice Andrew, cheers.

David Lemon · Jan 17, 2009

Great race for me

Didn't really qualify that well but got a good start and settled into 6th behind Nigel untill we came across a car in the middle of the track!! Nigel made contact and I swerved and spun

this dropped me back to about 11th or 12th but I pushed hard over the next few laps and made my way back up to 6th behind Neil and just in front of Paulo, over the next 20 laps or so we had a terrific battle:fencing:I pitted early with the plan of trying to get in front of Neil when he eventually pitted and pushed as hard as I could for 4 or 5 laps but it was in vein as he pulled out of the pits right in front of me again!!

our battle continued for another 15 laps or so:fencing:really good fun but eventually slipped past with about 15 mins to go and slowly but surely pulled away but had a 25 sec gap to the battle for 3rd between Marcel and Seb, they seemed to be holding each other up from time to time and I was closing but not enough and was 12 secs behind at the finish, I've been on a couple of public servers this week and had forgot how bad they were compared with the racing on RD, keep up the good work :worship: thanks to Andrew also for setting this up :good: great track choice, cya all next week hopefully

Important: Please pay special attention to Racedepartment's Golden Rule: If you hit another driver and disadvantage him, we expect you stop and let the other driver regain his position on you. If this costs you many places (eg first few laps) then consider this a penalty for your driving infringement. Doing this shows respect to your fellow drivers and will encourage drivers to be more careful. Please use some care when letting the other driver regain position, do not immediately stop your car on the driving line where it can cause further accidents. Not following this rule will result in your membership of the racing club being terminated at once!
