Famous last words...

Famous last words...

I drive past those poor marshals all the time...they look bored. I'll keep them busy digging my car out the gravel whilst moaning "not my fault Porsche put the engine in the wrong place"

Famous last words...

I had another look at the upcoming tracks for the series...I think you might be right

Time to retreat back to the Bentley

Hey man, just drive whatever floats your boat... And you can take "boat" literally in this case

Meanwhile, the grid for Silverstone has shaped up reasonably nicely, but we can always do with more.

C'mon people, less than 24h to sign up for what promises to be a great race. Join us !

Not the result i was hoping for, second lap lost it at Becketts with a mixture of low PSI greedy on the kerbs just glad i didnt take anyone with me. Catching 6th place Steenbergen lost it at Farm Curve took it off track then straight back on again ( a no no) so tried to avoid but span again,5th for me

That's a shame fella, I was gearing up to get defensive knowing your pace in the Bentley.

There were another 4 drivers signed up for tonight that didn't show. If you are signed up please try to make it

 

[Sascha Reynders]

It wasn't my night either... Already had a hard time setting up the Audi this afternoon, constantly battling snap oversteer, mainly through Becketts. I thought I dialled it out, but no: lost it again at some point while running 5th. Had another moment a few laps later which allowed Lee to pass me. Tried to keep the pressure on but it all went wrong again at the chicane. Sorry about that @Lee Williamson , I wasn't even thinking about making a move there, I just couldn't get the car stopped in time... So in a split second I yanked a hard left and floored it, hoping I'd cut across your nose before we made contact. Luckily that worked out and I didn't take you with me.
After that, there was nothing left to do but cruise home in 6th.

On a positive note: I set a new PB in qualifying, even though I had no confidence in the car at all.

Congrats to the podium finishers, on to Round 2 !

Silverstone is a very strong track for the front engined cars. They seem more stable through the fast changes of direction. The mid engine cars will have revenge on a few of the tracks coming up I think.

 

[GB-Lee]

No problem mate.. seen you coming in too hot so thought I'd let the heat fly by before turning in

I cancelled my entry at about 6-630 past night when I knew I couldn't make it. Hope it all went well, racing for me is difficult at the moment :-(

Yep that's fine fella, we had a few that didn't cancel.

 

[Sascha Reynders]

I'm really sorry guys but I have to cancel for tonight's race at Nurburgring, and there might be more to follow unfortunately
Life and family obligations will require me to focus on all but simracing for a couple of weeks... I'll try to make it to as much of the GT3 and GT4 races as I can, but I can't promise anything.
Have a good race everybody !

 

[SwannyUK]

All good Sascha,

Hopefully see you on track again soon
