Hi @Buster , is there room for a late one?

Might have to have a couple of breaks in practise and quali, 'me back's not good lol

 

[Axel Moebius]

Should have made a pratice start Totally stalled it at the start. But anyway, it was great fun racing with you guys

 

[Craig Dunkley]

@Axel Moebius it was good to have you ..hope you can join us next week

 

[Chris Down]

Great choice of car and track, @Buster! Looking forward to the next one.

I spent the latter portion of my race fighting it out and swapping back and forth with @Bobby Pennington who was definitely managing his tyres a lot better than I was. Really great battle Bobby, don't think I could have held you much longer

@Axel Moebius Sorry I got you at turn 1. Too many cars in too little space for me. My bad!

 

[Medilloni]

Love these events, fantastic circuit, but the car reminds me of my mother-in-law... we just don't get on, she's unpredictable, hard to handle and flies off at the smallest thing

Tried Craig's set up, big improvement over standard but found it like driving on a knife edge, so tried my first liitle play around just to keep it on the track - don't do files/downloads (I cock everything up installing) but went with this, so if anyone can point out if I was going in the right/wrong direction I'd be grateful:

Med tyres, 15 front, 16rr
Splitter up +1 (rr wing no change)
Rear toe out +1
Rear anti roll -1

....didn't really enjoy driving it, but transition to a 'moment' was easier to catch.

Thanks for putting tonight's event on Craig, and to all for the fair racing 'n banter

 

[Craig Dunkley]

You are all welcome ...hope you can all join next week

And as usual, my VR onboard:

The last ~10 minutes feature a great battle with @Bobby Pennington.

I had my one chance and drove it in a little too deep in turn 4 so you did a great job on the over/under and getting the spot back. I know you and you don't make many mistakes so it was going to be hard no matter what, but you were very fair in your defending and predictability. Really enjoyed it Chris
