Good to race this classic combo again, plenty of nice racing during the week.
Should be quite a close one. Not feeling too strong at this one myself to be honest, I cant help myself from over driving it when I feel like I'm going too slow. /me sticks Post-It to monitor "Must be calm and smooth, must be calm and smooth" :lmfao:

Jamin. He's so calm and smooth.
Bah! hexed already, that's me out in the first corner then.
Easyed, Venca or Delankster, Deetz if the others don't finish.

Congrats Delankster :yahoo:
Bad luck to Ice bear and Venca for lagging out and Airio speccing them, never seen that before :g:
I Qualified 4th and on the wrong side of the grid behind Easyed, at the start I made a break for the inside at the first corner and nipped under Ed for third, half full of fuel the car felt like mr blobby was rolling about on the back seat so I took it cautiously around the track for the first few laps keeping Delankster behind me whilst Ice bear and Venca went off into the distance.
When my tyres warmed up I managed to put a bit of space between Del and me then kept it at about 3-4 secs and settled in. Easyed caught Del and they started to take some time out of me so I picked up a little but coming into the rh corner after the straight I braked a bit late, geared down too soon in panic and buzzed my engine slightly :angry: after that I had a bit of a misfire and a now quick Delankster slowly reeled me in.
After he overtook me I had Ed 4 secs behind and gaining, he pitted and then Del pitted, I pushed as hard as I could to try and make some time and then pitted with two mins to go. Coming out right behind Ed, I draughted him down the straight, passed him then took as tight a line through the rh corner as possable so he couldn't come back at me, we both made the corner but as Ed was faster out we touched and span out, I scrabbled back to the track and set off expecting to be in third but it looked like Ed waited and I finished in second place.
Good racing Kev and Ed :D
Today was just great fun :yahoo:
Just really too bad about auto-lag spect for Venca and Eisbaer :sad:
Felt great qualifying 2nd. Got finessed in the 1st turn and wound up in 4th.....then somehow at the end of the straight I managed to brake way early and still go wide onto the grass dropping back to 7th-8th. Seany had to jar my addled memory after the race (replay helped too) --- spent several fun laps in a Willi/Seany sandwich. Good paint-scraping fun there. You guys didn't make it easy, but eventually got free and set my sights on Delankster/Jamin. Took 15 min to close on Delankster, and then some good laps trying to find a chink in his armor :boxing: Thought I had him on the right at the end of the long straight......but we went side-by-side thru the right, the short straight and into the next right. Little paint scraping magnified by lag and I ate some tires, falling back 4 sec.
So I'm hanging onto 3rd - and over a few laps close the gap behind Delankster to 2 sec. With just a couple min left Jamin leaves the pits right on my tail.....he tells the story..... You pulled a good pass mate, and I should have backed off as the door closed (would have just been 2 cm), but we both went lawn mowing. Yeah, yeah - I waited ..... you earned the spot....hehe - I also knew 4th was quite a ways back. I'm only so noble :norty:
Fine fun and real gents - good racing all :D
I really enjoyed the first half of this race, some really close action with Oldie, Andy, Seany, Bert, Steve... couldn't believe how close everyone was, without any serious dings.
Naturally at about half way I rolled it, game over, but still I had more close racing in this combo than I have in a full race in some of the others.
what a cracking race :D
quaified 6th but managed to nick pass deeslider inti T1 and slipstreamed easyed down the straight
slowly closed onto the back of jamin in 3rd and we swapped positions a couple of times before his tyres warmed up and he started to pull out a gap
by this time i had a duck firmly up me chuff :blink:
he wasn't there for long as i outbraked myself down the straight, running wide into the gravel letting him throu......
nice bloke our bob thou, as he returned the favour the very next lap :D
i think easyed got passed bob shortly after our battle and was soon all over the back of me
managed to hold him off for quite a few laps, with both of us putting in some really good lap times and we started to reel Ben in
was a great battle with ya ed really enjoyed it m8 !! its just a shame that it ended the way it did
i watched the replay and all thou there was contact it looked minimal, but it bounced you off the track into the tyres :sad:
managed to catch up to jamin and pass him down the straight and hold on for the win :yahoo:
all in all.... a really enjoyable combo
congratz to ben and ed on some great close racin :thumbsup2:
and bad luck to isebaer and venca getting spec'd by ario, unlucky chaps you both had it in the bag at one stage or another :sad:
