I just did a few laps in the Opel and Camaro.
Yikes!

 

[AndrewBo]

Welcome back Dennis. And thank you for those amazing posts about your trip you have done on FB.

 

[Peter Ell]

.....................This is ballet... not driving...

............My new racing suit for this track, is ready

 

[Carlos De la Torre]

Sorry for the unexpected entry. I wasn't sure I was going to make it so I didn't sign up. Good race. Those retro cars were fun to drive... @Dennis I was a bit slow early on race 2 and blocked you a bit. Sorry. Thanks for not rear ending me haha.

 

[Dennis Phelan]

No problem Carlos, I was having big problems in R2 because I made a suspension change between races. It worked in some ways but hurt in others.

Not a bad pace for considering no sim driving for two weeks. Bouncy track jumpy cars, not the best for me either, lol! Happy for Bjorn's mistake in R1 and a win, YEahhhhh! The change in R2 got me a puncture and the loss of a lot of time.

Great to have three drivers for a fun time!

 

[ajokay]

Which is good, because it gives you time to tune in to Motors TV 90 minutes before (18:25 BST) and watch some Race07 sim racing on actual telly. [/shameless plug]

Hi all,
Back online in our new home but very busy.
The race was fantastic fun. I was shunted at a corner, near the start, might have been by Damo, not sure, but I was going a bit slowly so no blame is attatched to that person.!
I had the dreaded "You have a suspension problem" message, but managed to carry on ok.
John had a flying start but I managed to reel him in and he made a slight mistake which allowed me to pass.
Before that I was screaming at him down my headset cos I was coming into a tight turn way too fast, lol.
I was in third place, with 2 laps left, with Damo right behind me, he was struggling to get past but his pressure forced me into a mistake and he sailed by!!
It was great fun and we had so many laughs and giggles on comms
Hope to see you all again very soon

 

[Peter Ell]

Sign me up please...

 

[Dennis Phelan]

Maybe I'l know the track by Friday!

 

[Joe Cannarozzo]

Hi, sign me up.

 

[Björn]

Some very nice racing on this tyre-eating track!

Got the basics (fuel, tyre pressure & brake bias) down yesterday and hopped in right for P2 - took me some time to get to speed, but finally found some and qualified 3rd.

I then absolutely botched the start and lost two positions to Alex and Joe, though that made for some nice fighting during the race - finally got back into P3, which would then become 2nd when Peter retired after what seemed like a lag-induced worsening of a slight touch while lapping John.

Had a better start into race #2 and while avoiding Aaron sliding across the straight, I couldn't exactly avoid getting bumped into in T2, hum. Recovered fairly quickly, though, and took on to hunt down John.
Another nice battle with Alex and Dennis, whom we were closing in on, followed and soon enough, I was back in P3, chasing after Joe. His tyres seemed to be considerably worse, allowing me to gain some time, and finally making the pass - another P2.

Thanks for racing, everyone - see you next time!

 

[Peter Ell]

Nice combo today...

Qual:
A small mistake on the second half of the track... I think it was the reason for the 2nd position.

Race 1:
Good start, from the outer side of the 1st turn, it was a risk to try going for first place, so Aaron kept the lead.
We had the same lap times, good driving from both until one Aaron's mistake gives me the lead.
Again, the same laps times 'till the last turn of the track, where I found in front of me Grant... Too slow for me that moment, I'm sure that he didn't realise that I was behind him (and he was 1 lap back) and while trying not to hit on him, I got out of track...RACE FINISHED.

Race 2:
For the 3 or 4 first turns, you couldn't understand who was crashing with who. The result of these "bumper cars" was suspension problems for me and after a while, my car couldn't steer properly. RACE FINISHED.
Unfortunately, I lost another battle with Aaron, who was again a "breath" behind me. I think we were in P3 and P4.
I forgive whoever bumped me and I hope I'm forgiven from whoever I bumped.

Very nice race!
Thank you guys!

 

[ajokay]

Mmm. Radicals. In!

I'd forgotten about that.
Any idea what happened Bjorn? Haven't seen the replay yet.

 

[Dennis Phelan]

@Aaron Channer , Looks like Bjorn received a tap on the side from Peter that sent him to the gravel and on his arrival back on pavement he slid across the track and nailed you.

 

[Dennis Phelan]

Oh what a week to return to racing! Zandvoort where the sands change the nature of the track to lumpy, bumpy and an STCC track, say isn't there a mod for karts available somewhere? Very difficult for me, sorry. I think I actually did get a good setup and a good drive but mediocrity and a tough track overcame me.

Lost the car in the last turn during quali so gave up the lap.

R1: I kept running into people and spinning off track, not good for placing.

R2: One by one the fast guys caught me. I spun but I don't think I ever hit anyone.

Tough track, hoping next week is better for me.

Thanks Dennis.

 

[Peter Ell]

I have been collecting two (hums) from Bjorn the last two weeks.
Nothing on purpose... misperception and not good moments I think.
I hope Bjorn is not being a strict judge to me.
I already miss your likes.

 

[Björn]

I'd forgotten about that.

As Dennis said, I got sliding on my re-entry, thus blocking your path a bit - sorry about that, but seems like you got me out of the way without too much hassle
As for the start, I think you and Damo got bit too close, IIRC. Another quick recovery it seemed, but it sure looked dramatic!

I already have miss your likes.

No worries Seems like I have unconsciously cut back on "likes" as most of the post-race-browsing was done from my mobile, and while that works fine, hitting those tiny icons sure is a challenge
