Season 2 Week 6 GP

Voices · Posted: Sat Mar 01, 2008 9:18 pm Post subject: Season 2 Week 6 GP

Needs to be somewhere to wright race reports

especially after that weekend for me

race 1 : great race dant fell back look like a safe 2nd but around lap 12-14, then descided to slow down to make sure i had 4th, yet still pleased

race 2 : 2 lap race with medi, then moldo passed and medi fell back, then the 15 lap race began with dantski, this was possible the most fun i'd had in a GP in ages - mainly because i wasnt alone on the track - dant had a few more aggressive lines, in the end it cost him as he lost more time than he gained and 2nd. last time i raced with dant was race 1 season 1 won on the last corner and got 2nd. great fun 13 pts + 20 pts best result in ages

Race 1

Was just behind Moldo and comfortable at his pace. Then I buried it in the wall twice on lap 3, which put me a dozen seconds back and dropped me to 13th or something. Reset my goal to finishing 2nd and was possibly on my way to that before crashing again with 2-3 laps to go and letting Voices past. He made an error a lap later and I drove a pretty good last lap so he never had a chance to take it back.

Race 2

Pretty slow start with all the blooming cars in the way. After a couple laps the mist cleared and I closed on Moldo.

Then for the next 15 laps it was a vicious circle of events

crash -> voices passes -> go hell for leather -> pass voices -> crash

And with 2 laps to go I had a big shunt on the first corner (tickled barrier 3 times) and that settled that.

Pretty decent races for me.

1st race - Started very badly, hitting the 1st chicane at the start of the 2nd lap, and making a couple of other silly errors in the next few laps. Pulled it together after that, and ran smoothly for most of the race, managing to work my way up to 6th, after a good few battling laps with JGG.

2nd race - Started really well, being in 8th after a couple of laps, and then working my way forwards to 4th. Spent a long time in 4th, with every now and then medi appearing alongside me but me fighting him off. Then disaster struck Sad

Crashed at the bottom of the hill twice in 4 laps, and lost 2 places and too much time to make up on 5th. Ended up 6th.

Race 1:

Came out of the first couple of laps in about 10th, kept plodding around laughing at the carpark full of upside down cars, moved slowly but surely to 2nd, then a lonely race until dan appeared on the radar then promptly dissapeared. happy with that.

Race 2:

Bad start again, couple of walltouches sending me to 13th, plodded on again, getting up to 4th, about 8 or 9 secs behind top 3 but unable to make any impression.

That'l do nicely for me.

1st race went pretty good, Voices had a good start but I'm glad he crashed a bit too often ^^

2nd race was scary. Thought I would crash, but took the lead. I kept looking at the times and saw that Dant and Geezer and Voices were gaining on me sometimes, and sometimes losing a bit. Thank god I finished it Smile

Pleased about taking Dan's rec last minute, which gave me my 2nd 52 Very Happy

Crashed on the first lap of both races. Ran back to the pits to get the spare Matra, and crashed that too. In both. Not very cheerful at present about the whole evening.

Funny no one mentioned the re-start on race 2. I was running 7 and had found the line (for once) when all of a sudden we restrted (5 or 6 laps in). Threw me off my game, lost the line and wiped out after 5 laps.

Race 1 was my usual rubbish run. Did a few laps before flipping, wasn't last (really my only goal for now).

I stand corrected.

And corrected.

And corrected.

And corrected.

And yes. Embarassed

Anyone else wants to jump on, I have a kidney that's not bruised yet. Shocked
