Bradley Capps-Jenner · Feb 29, 2012

Loved the race tonight lads, thanks, race 1 nice race with the 5th and below people trading places everywhere.
Race 2 great race for a couple of laps with Dan and Stefan, and all the way through with Stefan.
Superb series Chris roll on the next one, its been a pleasure to be a part of it!

Steve Freeman · Feb 29, 2012

Thanks again guys/Chris for the invite, really enjoyed it as usual, great driving that ferrari, no match for the Exige but the noise!....

Race 1, kept out of trouble, took a while to get by Paulo`s rapid GT n Brads Exige then gradually caught Dan but ran out of laps to finish 4th
Race 2, managed to avoid a sideways Chris after he was tapped then just kept my pace, Guessed Chris had serious damage as he was dropping back from me, to finish 2nd.
Cheers guys.

Wayne Thomas · Feb 29, 2012

Loving this series. Great battles at the back in R1.
Bit lonely in R2 but I was always aware of Peter just being 300 or 400 ft behind for most of the race. Any mistake and I knew he'd be on me!
Don't know what positions I got,don't really care, enjoyed it - full stop .......

Peter Vermeulen · Feb 29, 2012

Wonderfull race this evening. Really enjoyed it.
1st race was at the back and kept there with keeping a pace on wayne for almost the whole race. Managed to get close on a few occasions but didn't have the room nor speed to overtake him. Got past him when he went wide in the first corner but had a bit to much drift and he got past again reclaiming his position.

2nd race start at the front and didn't feel at ease at all.Brrrrr diving first into that corner. Got passed quickly and managed to steer clear of a sliding off/on track of bradley if i'm not mistaken after the uphill sweeping corners. Then just missed my braking point to the chicane and slipped onto the gras.Found it a wise decission to stay there and pit.Hoping to make up some time in the race and yes did manage to shoot past paulo while he was just getting out of the pit lane and then kept my pace and managed to maintain my gap.As well as keeping within 200-400m of wayne for the remainder of the race after he exited his pitstop.

Although a pitty I got only one more race that i can do in this cup. As i"ll be missing out on the last race of this.
But really pleased to get so close in racing now. Looking forward to the next one and next cup as well.

Stefan Liversidge · Feb 29, 2012

Great race again, some nice clean action too

Race 1 was ace, swapping positions all over. Then I got stuck behind paulo, that gt was too quick down the straights!

Race 2 good start and avoided the carnage, then had some good battles, unfortunately I was always goin to loose them but good fun non the less. Got my self into a rythem and made my late pitstop, came out just infront of Bradley, but slid wide on cold tyres then the last lap I got it together and put in my fastest lap, closed the gap slightly, but not enough.

Bring on the next race

Round 8 updated!!!!!

Chris Bell · Mar 1, 2012

Had a nice couple of races last night

R1 - Good start got from the back of the grid up to Dan and got stuck there for a few laps, good racing did give a small bump to Dan apologies for that!! Finally managed to get passed but Karl was long gone!!

R2 - Another great start got right into the mix but then was hit hard and the back end was destroyed! Had shocking oversteer along with an odd feeling under braking! Found that id lost alot of brake force so quickly had to adjust to the new brake markers! Got my head down as i knew this would be damage limitation! Got some ok ish times in after id got used to the new feeling! got down into the 2.07s some 3s off my previous pace! Pitted quite early to try fix some issues but this seemed to make things worse, i was then stuck in the 2.08s managed to get Dan in the pits but he wasnt too far away, With Dan closing in on the final laps it was going to be tough he was much quicker on the straights and id lost most of the cornering speed!! We was very close for 5 laps or so! Just managed to stay ahead very good close racing!! Enjoyable end to the race but think the Championship is over!!!

Wayne Thomas · Mar 1, 2012

Dan Smith · Mar 1, 2012

Race 1: Had a nice battle trying to keep Chris behind me for as long as possible, then just finished ahead of Steve for 3rd.
Race 2: Great fight with Stefan and Bradley. Bradley had some right sneaky moves to be fair. Eventually got through and chased down a damaged Chris to the end, just losing out by a whisker.

Cracking racing all round!!
