Clubman Roundup
What excellent racing. The choice of Mini Cooper S and 207 GTi could have been a disaster. Certainly they felt terribly slow. But with boost on high and racing hard tyres the reality was some very close racing indeed.
Really there's no way to describe all the slow motion action that went on in the race - so check out the replay...
I reckon we all had a turn up the front at some point or other.
Evan, you're leading the clubman cup, and Paul you're just behind. Actually I think taking this championship will be a harder task than the full superstars season. Why? Well we're all in the same car so a lot of the opportunity to run away with a class is lost, every race it's equal chance for all.
Superstars Roundup
So after my Mini, getting into my GT590 and taking a warm up lap felt out of control. What ace cars they are.
But of the race, again a top tight couple of races, the GP/F track is an excellent race track with a good mix of corners and straights. Expect to see it in other seasons as we move forwards.
Luke started the night early, and as we chatted before the game he was well proud of his test and tune session. Somewhat undermined by my asking if he reckoned his R8 Audi was eligible for a Japanese race car class... But glad it came good. A rushed change to an older (than Chris's) Calsonic Skyline put him well in contention if not for an outright win then certainly for some serious points - as proved with his 3rd place in the second race (well done chap).
Whilst Simon is still learning tracks and styles, he's certainly on the pace a lot more, very soon we're going to see some good places coming in.
And Chris, I think it's par for course for you to not have the win but to get good strong finishes - here was no different, but at least I was in front, widening the gap a bit more.
Evan, the replay (upload coming soon) doesn't do that last lap justice in terms of trying to stay in front of your ballistic NSX. In the end you out dragged me down the straight, top win.

This week's pointless race
Change in plans folks.
Happy to give snow racing a go - but in a test race it was just too hard, too much snow spray actually.
So,official line is Monaco (Cote de whatever it is) and TC500/GT590 racing around there.
As always, it's up to the night to decide, please do drop me a line with requests, it would be great to get some member's choices!
Other news
So a firmware update on my avermedia means I have 1080p now - so may well upload the GT590 race of last week in uber resolution. Given it's not enduro it's only 1.2Gb...
