First of all sorry if there was any inconvenience in P1, things didn't work out for Paul or I setting the server at the correct P1 time.
Qual
I managed to get on track with around 15 minutes to go after coming home late from a great day's Cricket. I got a handful of laps in and managed P7. Definitely not a track you can turn up late to, you need a good session before hand, especially for racing.
Race 1
I had a great start, the clutch starts are working well and I highly recommend trying it if you don't already. I went from P7 to P2 by T2. Lap 3 I forgot to brake into T4 and drove straight into the wall...minor brain explosion tbh and possibly thinking about my great run out today (direct hit
)
I pitted on lap 5 and while setting Don't repair I missed my box... brain explosion number 2 for the race and had to go around again, got it right on lap 6
Finished 7th where I started.
Race 2
Good start again, T6 saw the flying Yerkee outbrake himself and made way for him to shoot threw. He lost control a little and collected Gorgio giving me 2 places. Pitted well but DC still in front with a few laps to go, chased him hard and only had one opportunity to pass him into T1 but some amazing driving by him kept the place, nice one DC
Gorka moved in on me and made a move under the bridge, we hit and I felt I was in front into the turn so I made the decision not to give the place back, sorry we hit Gorka, I take a long radius into that corner but I understand how you would see it too. Finished 5th.
Race 3
Classic, this race had it all. My start was ok, just nowhere to go, I chose to come in at the end of the first lap. This put me in a great position I thought as I came out with some clear track. Lap 6 Everon (racing like a man possessed last night) came out in front of me. He takes P1 and I move to P2, tried to pass Everon under the bridge overshot the corner and came out in front of him, I had no choice but to give the position back. Every lap after we picked up someone out of the pits and added them to the train. It was quite remarkable. Last lap we had Everon, Myself, DJC, Marcel and DC all line astern and it was anyone's race. On T2 I hit Everon and pushed him out of the way, poor braking on my behalf putting him back to second. I finished the race in first but in no way deserved it and as Race Director I was left with no choice but to drop a position.
Disappointed not to take my first league win but it was an easy decision to make in the end. Finished second.
Well done to all competitors, pats on the back all round. Very hard track combined with one of the hardest mods in online racing atm. Most non members coming into our servers are always impressed by the standard we set in the Historic's mod. Keep up the good work
