As for the super car series there is only Alfa 8 C's and Ford GT's available for allocation.

I hope to, so as I can stay in touch with the title, but MotoGP is on from Indy, and my niece and nephew (read as "a whirlwind of noise and action") are here for the weekend, so it may be difficult.

Ich werden Rennen auf dem Nürburgring

It's really close at the moment especially were different cars do good at different tracks. For example if you drop the worst points result for 1 track of each of us in the current top 4 the standings are
1st me 207 pts
2nd Dan 202 pts
3rd Simon 181 pts
4th magicko 165 pts.

Which is why I don't want to miss a round.   hehe  

In...maybe...i think...should be

in

Would like to join in but got my youngest daughter staying.....so its father - daughter bonding time:drunken: 

Start the Clio's without me. I might make the Sports Cars... but I doubt it.

good 1st race or 2nd one in sports cars gaz, i cant remember which one smh. think it was the 1st one lol

It was the 1st race Baz and it was good racing. Congratulations to all the winners with a special mention to Lou for winning her debut race in the clios.

Leaderboards have been updated if you wish to raise a stewards inquiry [SI] deadline is Tuesday at 8.00pm.

Nice to see a bigger grid this week and hope Dunky enjoyed the racing.

massive apology to alex for spinning him out at t1. it wasn`t a lunge i just locked up in the latter stage of braking and couldn`t avoid you, my bad!

pi increase for clio please  

Thanks Gaz

I would like to say i thouroughly enjoyed last nite but i would be lying
Tbh i was shocked at how aggressive some of the racing has become...not illegal...just quite aggressive. I appreciate that everyone wants to defend their positions etc, but some of the driving standards to me was way over the top. If someone attempts a legitimate move up the inside (not a stoopid lunge) then what is the harm in allowing just a bit of room? Taking an aggressive 'I'm not letting u past attitude and taking 'the line'' is either going to take the person behind out or yourself out as well. This then causes SI's, bad feeling and naff atmosphere It genuinly shocked me last nite...for me in racing, sometimes, just sometimes you have to give someone some room, not run them off the track just cus they dared to attempt to overtake you

Have to say I agree lucy the same thing happen to me tbh they go up the inside of you then run wide and basically push you out the way it is getting a bit behind with certain few.

When I go up the inside of someone on the track I always do my best go tight in and leave plenty of room for them so that you both go around the corner/section no problem. Of course sometimes mistakes happen ie lockup of breaks etc but for example gaz and simon when they overtake they are very good at timing it right leaving plenty of room to make it a save overtake to keep it fun.

Although it does help when people call it if they are going for an overtake, sometimes I "aggressively" shut the door because I honestly don't know there's someone there.

Also I think people are actually underestimating how poor the Ferrari's are around corners and under braking, if I brake a fraction later than I should I either lock up or run wide, it's not an "aggressive" move it's having no control over the car, but if I don't brake late to make moves then I'm not going to get anywhere and I may as well give up on racing.

I think if people do have issues with other racers driving styles this needs to be brought out into the open and discussed in a sensible manner as I've noticed a few subtle digs appearing lately. I know last night there were a few against me and obviously Scott's not so subtle dig at Paul was there for all to hear. All I'm saying is be open and calmly discuss it so we don't start arguments and have fall outs.

At the end of the day we are a bunch of mates having a bit of fun and it is just a computer game.

My post isn't a singled out dig at you GT, it was a general observation. My comment is aimed at where does 'defending ones position' end and rude racing begin. I agree with the bunch of mates racing comment entirely and that's why i stopped racing. Sometimes in the spirit of racing and also friendly sportspersonship there should be a point where we accept the move is done. If a car is alongside on the outside or inside it has to be acceptable that you both share the track equally at that point. What i saw was cars on the inside being turned into or the ones on the outside being run off the track That is racing maybe, but not 'bunch of mates' racing. I think what irks me the most is the culprit for running off/turning into people...when their aggresion pays off they happily carry on and leave the poor person in the dirt or, if it backfires against them then they start whining and causing arguments at dirty moves That is some serious having cake and eating it going on there and tbh is just a huge pisstake Basically, if anyone wants to be aggresive and take 'their' line then accept the consequences in good grace. If we wanna not have consequences then leave some space please

I didn't say your post was aimed at me Lou but I did have a couple of digs aimed my way last night and especially at Sedona in the Clio's and Camino in the Sports Car, and I know I'm probably one of the biggest defenders on the track (apparently the reason Scott is in the Ferrari). My reasoning for that is because I'm not as good a driver as everyone else and it's my way of being competitive.

Last night I annoyed Si by defending a line once and then moving back to the racing line (allowed in F1) but then I had Baz dancing all over the track down the pit straight trying to break my tow (that's a lot more than one move). I also had Baz fairly overtake me and I gave him space, but then when I went to battle back I got a nice clip to my rear which lost my traction and that was battle over, that wasn't aggressively closing the door and it may have been accident but if it was deliberate it wasn't aggressive but still ruined my chances. BUT I still enjoyed all of last night, it was good fun and I enjoyed seeing Baz make the lunge into turn 3 and back out every time.

Anyway I'll stop talking now before I get kicked out the club  

 si needs pi increase for clio

Doesn't matter when you're admin Baz  

It really did make me laugh seeing that lunge coming every lap

lunge = calculated thrusts to disguise the momentous pass that was inevitably coming  

Ewwwww I don't want to know about your calculated thrusts Baz that is just wrong on every level.


See what I did there bringing humour in to lighten the mood.  

i have to calculate my thrusts gaz. sometimes even have to plan them weeks in advance
