Sorry guys for left early this race but my engine was farting in the 4th lap
Never happened the same before with M6..water temp 92 celsius, thats ok...maybe downshifting too quickly.
Next time I must to be more careful!
Really sorry!
And I apoligize for hit someone (cant see his real (server) name here in the list) in the T1...I wanted let the car go straight because I missed the brake point but unfortunately You were there. Sorry mate!
Craig...thanks for hosting the event!
See You next time!

Well you done better than I ..I never even got to race..I could not, I had diarrhea making it a bit to dodgy to race.

Will see you on Sunday

 

[Craig Dunkley]

Sorry drivers I had to miss out on this one, was suffering with diarrhea

I was watching it of course, in between toilet duties. It certainly look like some good battles were going on throughout the field

I have one word for @RainhamIron PITS

Congrads to the podiums

That happens quite easily when you use your engine as a brake. Happened to me a week ago at Zolder.
As far as the temperatures go, you only need to watch the oil, which should go up to 110-120 celsius.
I have been running mostly 50% tape on the radiator and 100% tape on the brakes.

If that was at the first corner thats me, but no problems...

My tires were cold from the start to the end, I am not sure what I need to change in the setup... I normally leave default, I changed the pressure to almost the lowest values... but it was not really effective...

As it is no secret at this point, lowest tire pressures always give more grip due to increased contact patch.
That is a strange problem since this is one of the very few tracks i have to watch out for overheating the tires.
What you can do on the setup side is increase toe angles.
