first race, went well apart from a chair randomly spinning around next to me caused by the kids, causing a mini seizure and throwing me into the wall, cheese went passed, all cars ceased to move, when everything came back i was 6 secs behind but still managed a top 10
Second race, Good race from all, just managed to take BBoy on the final corner after an epic battle and beat him by 3 laps, overall a good show and i`m glad i won.

1st race: need not of showed up got bored went for a walk came back and missed 80 percent distance by one cp and only that by a second.
2nd race: Dan seems a bit confused because after single handedly defeating a group of naer do wells holding up my local greggs returned to win the race by 12 mins and sign a contract to replace button at brawn next year. Great race really

Race 1: Restarted comp during practise and then the internet started to beggar about so needed to restart it. Unfortunately my housemate was watching some tartan skirt wearing chump whack a ball about on BBC sport so wouldn't let me restart the internet til the very last word from Sue Barker. Therefore I ended up just joining the race around a great (although questionably accurate) Catalunya. I was then in a rush and wanted to skip that waste of time bit where the camera comes down to the car so I pressed enter like a mug. Quickly (or as quick as my laptop lets me in a crisis) rejoined and got racing 40 seconds down. Battled my way past anything that moved on a great charge and the last man to be overtaken was Mid (who put up an unerving amount of resistance) which got me up to 11th in the end.
Race 2: Don't like the track...not looking forward to next week  |

Had a great race, started off losing places as usual, eventually got into the groove battling against Voices and Jawz. Eventually got past them after about 5 laps of nose-to-tail racing, then went past Dan (his mistake was actually because I sounded my car's fog horn and that made him think about breasts for some strange reason I don't want to know). I was concentrating really quite hard by this point and didn't notice I'd gone past Yus until Dan had dug his face out of a wall and informed me of this change in my race position. I was determined I'd keep him behind me, but ran wide on that tricky left-hander on the run up to the chicane and that was his opportunity. I had two laps left but you were too damn quick to catch Yus, nice driving. Pleased with my top 10 finish and the car's performing alright so looking forward to next week!

2nd all race
then sometime mid-late on it showed me as first, I didn't see Bboy chatting so I figured he'd gone off. A lap later his times appeared again and I was most disappointed

first race : had a nice start , found myself battling reh for 4th til elano came up and catched us both. Tried to keep me in Reh's back but had a few minor mistakes so had to let him go... in lap 18 a lag of about 5 seconds got me and I was happy to stay on track, got passed by Cheese at this occasion whom I could see still.The last 7 laps was a hard pursuit til I finally got cheese in lap 23 where he made the mistake he mentioned and I passed. Looking on the track and the times simultaneously was hard , but somehow I managed to finish the track without making the bad mistake I was awaiting all the time.
second race : first restart I did well, second time I messed it up, third was even worse and after this....well, y'know...
Too bad I'm on holidays next week (well, I'll have some fun tho ) , but I won't be here when it's time for 3 races an evening ( what a dream  )

Race 1: had my usual plonker moment early doors so 17th on lap2, then down to business and I found the early turn-ins, allowing some good lap times. Bboy came through on lap eleven though  and Spanky was knocking at the back door for position, Matt got ahead on lap 22 with a deadly whiff of methane and I hung onto 12th to the Finish.
Race 2: a light aircraft put down on the grass and I nipped over to dish up Kee-babs and burgers to some suits from a consortium of racing teams, they're looking for a series to participate in next year. I told em 'Nah, get lost Luigi, we're full'.
Did I miss a good race?

race one. 3rd into the first corner 12th on the second, stayed there for a few laps then the mistakes crept in, mid spanky and webz went pass.
sat in sixteenth then for rest of it then a couple must have dropped out finished fourteenth.
second race. flew off was third, something not right crossed the start line first lap bboy and dantski in front, hit the next c.p i am first dant and bboy have crashed ( something definitely not right, carried on first for another lap, next i am back at the start and im in eighteenth place 
(i blamed the typical english weather as i couldn't get the tyres warm enough car was hitting the floor on turn three)
if its good enough for jenson its good enough for me |

1st race: Totally fluffed laps 1,2,3 had a flier on lap 4 and went from 23rd to 16th. Had WebZ hanging round with me for a while, then turned on that old McCoy razamatazz and nipped in front again, saw the Green Missile car and went to catch him but ran out of time.
2nd race: spent 5 mins saying hello on vent trying to see what happened to Steve, Cheese and Dan, everyone kept leaving and coming back, we decided when Dantski got back there would be no more restarts then half the field had late starts, some couldn't get back in, some couldn't get out of spec so we decided screw it lets try this another day.
Lovely tracks btw from Dan, Mud Slide was looking like it might have been a rip roaring race until the problems.
