you can't race with guys you have not seen drive.
WE all brake a little different and drive the corners different , get used to how they drive and then we can all race safer.
if you drop out of the server during qually you can return

This is being held in our Club, using Club Rules, and should be driven in that spirit.

Ok guys, thanks for your kind words. I'll try not to do it again, but like you say, accidents happen. If I mess up again I'll do my best to take it on the chin.

Indeed usually I don't have my best races in FWD cars, but for me this event went way better than expected. After a few recon laps in practice 1&2 I could make decent speed in both versions of the track.
In Q1 I managed front row and R1 saw me having an interesting race from 2nd to last and then back up to 2nd place..
And after I ballsed up Q2 I started from the back in R2 and made my way up all the way to 2nd place again.
Not for a small part, I have Warren's old Mini setup to thank for that; I use it everywhere I go with the Mini and it served me well here. Thanks Warren
These results however would not have happened if Guus hadn't suffered from disco.. twice! His pace was impossible to keep up with and he would have won both races no doubt..

Another high of course was that this event celebrated The Return of the Tim™, nice to see you again Tim, hope you can keep that up!

So.. Thanks to all fellow racers, and grats to the winners. THX Rupe and Steven for admin duties too!

And indeed Denis, don't worry about it.
It can happen to anyone.. and yes, the feeling s*cks, but there's no point quitting as that doesn't help anyone..
