What another top night's racing.
Clubman Roundup
Dropouts changed the mix in the race, and Paul was the final looser to this bout of Internet flatulence. You still get a point, but Evan's lead has gained again. Could Evan run away with the championship?
If we're racing the Gallardos on any regular basis he will. Those things were mad.
Somehow we ended up with the zebra brigade with only black and white cars, but that's OK.
I've been racing the clubman with boost on high, and it showed in some ways, no one was ever far back. But I think everyone had a turn at the front. And then a turn at going sideways and finally a turn at hitting the barriers. Except for Evan... he got in front soon enough, and then stayed there in a super slick smooth driving style that paid off. Not sure how, my Gallardo handled like it had rear wheel steering and forks at the front...
Video to follow!
Superstars Roundup
We (those of us in the lounge at the start) all managed to race this - though Rod, you're online but not racing? Have you retired? And George was stuck at work. Booo!
A short enduro it was though. Ten laps at 1:14 or so per lap made it not much longer than usual races.
My choice of car was good, and bad. Good because it easily pulled a 1:13 in practice. Bad as it couldn't cope with off line cornering - I should have stuck with my ISF.
Luke had a factory (cough, me, cough) tuned RX8 and certainly put it to good use. I reckon trying to straighten the chicane out every lap probably cost him the race though, the replay shows places lost just about every lap.
Paul's M5 continues to be a dominating car. Never change it mate. A somewhat easy romp the finish, only contested by Chris who I think was ready to pass for at least three laps towards the end.
The rest of us scrapped it out behind. I never realised we rubbed paint as much as we did, the racing was super close, but never felt like anyone was leaning on other cars or had anything other than an accidental shunt.
And this one does have a video:

Next week
Next week's racing is something different. Look up Targa Florio. Then get a car that's 1960-1970 inclusive and set it to 540pp and Sports Medium tyres.
The track will be a custom Toscana track - as long as I can make it.
Then we'll do the same in 650Open cars, marvellous.
Race on!
