Rhys Gardiner · Dec 30, 2008

GAAAHHH! I thought this would be on the 11th, but I won't be able to make this race. I'm still in Brisbane. Ah well - have fun guys! :bye:

Paulo Ribeiro · Dec 30, 2008

I really would like these events beginning at 20.00 and have only 30 minutes practice. In my case, i don't have much spare time, so no practice at all.
Only time to practice in the event time (my own problem tho) :sad:

As for the event "per se", i'd love it (even without a setup) :silly:
Race 1 - qualified 20th, finished 10th.
Race 2 - qualified 12th,... finished 12th

If i had no setup for dry, i messed in the wet. :noidea: However it was very fun and fair driving from all, remember some cool fights with both Daves, Jamie and Neil. :yo:

Congrats to winner and podium drivers. :first:

Fantastic pace from all, very impressive. :clap2:

Thanks for the event Simon.

Cheers

Herwin Ploeg · Dec 30, 2008

Wow nice races! Only I don't know what was wrong with me but my pace was horrible :S

First race it was pretty ok, I was in a nice group fighting for 6th position or someting.. but suddenly a spinned car was on the track facing the wrong way, the guys in front of me passed him but I saw him too late.. Srry! I crashed into him so was the guy behind me.. so my race was over and finished last

Second race I messed up my setup completely and made too many mistakes so second last for me.. I think I need to practice more :thinking:

But thanks for this nice event!

See you next time on track

Hi Mark, I put you on the list, it is ok if you don't make it. If you go to this page and skroll to the bottom there is a handy time map - it should help you.
ok, sign me up, not sure what car. Thanks.

Richard Hamstead · Dec 30, 2008

Please put me in the reserves with the Seat

But who was it? He surely did not get an okay from you or any of the other admins, did he?

The issue is there were 4 entitled people chasing 3 spots at the very end of the session. Even if I had managed to clear a spot, we would of moved to qualifying which was a closed session.
I think this is a problem which has now revealed itself and will hopefully be fixed, there is now a discussion going on in the GTRE forum about reserves etc.

Again, very sorry Hansi

Me and Nigel got the go ahead to join practice with a few minutes remaining. Then I think Gary?? right near the end of practice. As a result the server became full as you tried to reconnect. Essentially, everyone did get an OK from other admins but it is not their fault as they can't take into account people disconnecting and re-joining.

Wow nice races! Only I don't know what was wrong with me but my pace was horrible :S

i had the exact same problem,in practice with ludwig ghidi and then in a seperate practice with jamie wilson,i was doing consistent 1:16's, but come the actual race, i could barely scrape into the 1:17's.

i don't think it's got anything to do with carrying the extra fuel for a race because i always practice with a minimum of 3/4 race distance so i can see how the tyres react with the added weight.

as for the event. superb, had some great fun with a load of guys in the 1st dry race.

i have never seen so many people 35 seconds behind the leader, i think at one stage there was about 6-7 of us with within a 1/2 second of each other. fantastic.

the second race,in the wet, i chose slicks cos they good in practice and qually,but in the race they were terrible for me, so i pitted on lap 10 or 11,chose wets and it was a little better,but still not as good as i was hoping.

all in all, i loved it.

i hope in the coming year's league races there are a few wet races,with changeable weather so you either pit for wets or or brave it out on slicks.

well done for organizing a great evenings racing. thank you.

Dave

Qualy Round 1: Good pace with the BMS put me up the grid nicely

Race 1: Got a good jump off the line but ended up losing a few places at T1 as i was on the outside, lost a couple more and dropped back to 7th behind Erik and Gary. For the next few laps i chased them and had a good battle with Erik with us swapping positions at each corner, i then pulled away after passing him and tried to catch up with Gary. I couldn't really catch him up enough to make a difference and then i touched the curbs on the inside of Mcleans which spun me round. I was unlucky that i ended up right in the middle of the track, so i had to sit there and hope that no one would hit me. Unfortunately Herwin Ploeg didn't see me and hit me head on which bent the suspension pretty badly. I got going again though and tried to make up some positions, this didn't go to plan as i tapped Terry Harmer and he spun down the Craner Curves. He ended up spinning across me so i slid into the gravel and waited for him to get going again. Finished in 15th i think, pretty poor result

Qualy Round 2: I was running wets in practice but when the session changed the game decided to put slicks back on, i didn't think it would so i went onto the track with slicks on. I had very little grip and did a pretty bad time which put me 10th

Race 2: Got a great start right up until Mark Guy pushed me off onto the grass, not sure if he saw me though. From then on i just drove as quick as i could and made up a few places and towards the end of the first stint i was up behind Gary and Amir. Everyone infront of me pitted which put me into the lead for a few laps, this was short lived as on lap 18 i pitted and dropped back to 6th. Simon was also right behind me after he only changed 2 tyres, whereas i did all 4. This paid off though, because of changing all the tyres i had great pace in the second stint, even setting the fastest lap of the race which was a 1:15:6xx. This allowed me to catch up with Gary and Amir, Amir was taken out by Yassen (accident, but still a takedown

) and then Gary soon drove into the gravel at Mcleans. I was then in 5th behind Olly Wickens, he had good enough pace so i wouldn't have enough time left in the race to overtake him. Finished in 5th after a good race

Corey Theman · Dec 30, 2008

I'll try out this skin this week for the accord here

(Once it is approved, of course

James , I think you had to good a start. after watching the replay now again you turbo-ed up to me and I really didn't know you were there. There wasn't really much space there anyway..LOL...

Sorry my friend if it seemed that I came across on purpose, but I really didn't know you were there.

Sorry.
