I do enjoy a good street circuit,qual even went better than usual way up there in 2nd,but no good nitro launch this time,i saw Keith having some early knocks on the walls getting some damage,although i could stick on his back bumper to actually pass was near impossible until Keith bit the tyre barrier at T2 handing me the lead + 8sec gap bonus,from there on it was good to stay focused and concentrate to the end with a good pit stop for a change.
Too much overly nice stuff from blue flag guys,some of you compromise your own race too much to let me pass,at the time ofcourse its appreciated but not required you almost drive off the track to be lapped :).
Great job everyone who brought their car to the finish of this one.
Many Thanks Yves and RD
 
Qualified 7th with a PB 2:01.8 and carrying 20L fuel so was over the moon. Race started and after a not to bad start was 9th into the T1 kink when cars in front braked so I did and got bumped from behind into the barrier. It was not much of a bump but suspension damage and aero damage. Damn! T1 in an 80 min race after my best quali I couldn`t believe it!!

Anyway, tried to stay on the outside and out of peoples way but had a mad swing out for some reason in T2 and ended up in the opposite barrier so scraped to the run off area and let the field through, so from 7th to last in 2 corners, it doesn`t get any better.

Was a real handful after that and became a challenge just to lap in 2:05-2:09 but stuck with it for 35 mins then pit in for what seemed like ages.

Came out and was doing 2:03s and catching people, got upto 8th then pushed too hard and ate barrier for more damage. Carried on and was made up to finish 7th, my start positon so couldn`t ask for anymore.

With all the damage it was probably the best race i have driven in the mini and enjoyed it very much.

Thanks to Yves and RD.

Notes:

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!

Brought to you in conjunction with Gary from Lennon!

Thanks Yves and RD for laying this on, just what a man separated from his wheel needed after a gruelling Christmas break with family and in laws ... some hardcore street racing in the minis :D

Quali'd 5th I think, took it steady at start and lost a place in favour of crashing. During race was following David quite close for a while, but he managed to pull a bit of a gap out by getting past early lapees at the right moment. As the laps went by a bit of attrition in front (including David) left me lapping in 3rd place and about 10 seconds adrift from Marcel.

I pitted behind him with around 37 mins remaining, and had a good one leaving just behind left 7 seconds behind Marcel ... but for some reason my pit limiter was off (normally on automatically right??) so I ended up with a S&G :(

Came in a lap later for my S&G, which left me 26 seconds adrift from Marcel - pulled a few seconds back, but was not making a big enough dent in his lead to do anything like catch and race him :disapointed:

Had a few amusing yet worrying moments rounding corners to see cars strewn across the middle of track and taking drastic avoidance actions ... biggest shout and giggle goes to Simon for his pirouetting at great speed right in front of me, literally must have missed you by millimetres there mate :scared:

Rest of my race continued with Steven a solid 10 or 11 seconds behind and Marcel 22-24 in front until 8 mins to go I got squirrely into turn 2. Damaged my suspension and got going to see the gap to Steven drop to 2.4 seconds :shocked:

Managed to pull it back out to about 3 seconds and hold my now bucking and weaving mini steadyish to keep my 3rd place to the line 4 or 5 laps later :laugh2:

Gratz to all who made the line ... thanks again to Yves, RD and all who made tonight a great event ... Its good to be home :wink2:
 
What are expected lap times here (first time the track and first time this class)?

Am currently doing a 2:03:526. Don't think it is to good as I am behind the AI :(. Thought already when I did a 2:05 that it would be impossible to go faster :).
 
best quali ever, 14th and only 4 seconds slower than pole! Got a bad start, and dropped to 19th. Then the accidents started happening...halfway round the lap after having regained my lost places, I got whacked and found myself on my roof :cry: John waited for me, but I was down to 20th, and not very happy. A mistake got me a busted RF tyre, and two laps later, another barrier incident took me out.
Gutted, as I was looking forward to some real racing tonight :(

Big thanks to Lee for the practice session, to Neil & Keith for the setups, and RD for the servers and effort needed to make these great races.
 
One of our smallest grids in a long time - reminded me of Vara with only Timothy, Yves, Marcel and I driving Minis when the North American server first got started.
It was a fun race for me though and I hope it was for everyone. I had fun chasing Sai but really make too many mistakes to compete for first place - whenever i get in the lead I can't stand the pressure I guess. Race 2 was good fun and while not my favorite STCC track, it gave some close racing.

Thankyou all for showing up and hopefully we can get more interest in the future.
