Hi Folks,
Short update this week. I think a season of 10 races pushes the interest envelope a touch too far...
Video to follow once I've got some data allocation back.
Race Round-up.
Clubman
We started with the Evo thingy, too much understeer. So we went to the Zonda R. Too much everything steer... Mad car. 651pp in fact, and lower spec tyres made for a race of attrition. And in that, Evan lost out. mate your lead in the series is slim now at best, get your Internet sorted before the finale!
But of the Zonda race? Well, we now have driving line as an optional aid for those that don't know the track. I don't think it'll make much of a difference to the lead racers - I'd like to think that we don't use it, but for those more occasional racers I think it'll help.
The race? meh, too hard with those cars, and that was with a progressive throttle. Kudos to those that use a controller.
Championship Race
Top race folks. I was proper gutted at losing, but it was my own fault for pushing too hard with worn tyres. I could see Chris, Evan and Luke in front, and there was only a slim chance of passing - ruined by over exuberance on one of the corners and having to back out of the wall. Still, Evan saved the day, a spin in the last corner gave me a third. Close enough.
Special mention to Luke. Dude that was a fantastic drive. To be challenging for the win in a race with such strong contenders as Chris and Evan (more on that in a minute though) is top effort.
Special mention to Simon. That there is tenacity. I promise that we'll have some more sensible clubman races for you to get into - being new to the game, the circuit and the cars was a challenge and alas it showed. But damn good show to stick with it!
Final special mention to Evan. Throttle link issues chap? Yup, damn near a podium complete with mechanical issues. Legend.

Paul, Rod, Baloo - let me know if you want in next season please. It's great to have a good racing field when we can. George, assuming you'll be on when you can.
Next (this) week
We have TC500 and GT590 races with no points this week, around London reverse. Maybe some 587pp racing too. Simon I'll gift you a car you use (don't break any you have).
And, Simon, read this on how to download gifts.
That's all folks.
Race on!
