OK, so this is the last in the series and it's going to be a blind race. No practice .
Two races, not sure how many laps yet but working on it. |

Yeah you'll still be in SpankyTech next season if you want to race, hopefully our line up will be unchanged. Well it will be as long as Bunsens subscription to Hot Asses Over 40 turns up on time he doesn't seem to understand it's a popular publication and demand is high. _________________

I don't believe it. That old problem I used to get (Contacting server ....) has chosen the last race of the season to resurface. I am totally dismayed .... noooooo. nooooooo. It hasn't happened for 9 months ... grrr. |

It's a buggar because that track would have suited you
1st Race: Crashed first chicane was 3rd last clawed my way back up to 10th
2nd race: Another 1st lap crash after I came off the loop too slowly then hit the lip on the track and flipped, respawned but was going to slow and crashed again by the time I got to the start finish I was dead last and 30 secs behind the punter 2nd from last, managed to fight my way back up to 10th once again. _________________

GP15:
GP16:
Race 1:
Couldn't get a grip (literally) on this one for two reasons. My hands while playing were ice cold despite soaking them in warm water before we started. Also, I couldn't really get a flow around this track because the track was throwing me here, there and everywhere. Crashing at the chicane after the S/F line on lap 7 was the only major problem. Also had a few retarded landbugs over the big jump (into left hander) which jolted my car almost 90 degrees into the wall on a few occasions and caused me to basically wheelspin on the spot which wasted a lot of time.
Race 2:
As with almost all tracks involving jumps onto tilted sections, the first jump effectively destroyed my race entirely with about 1 in 3 jumps actually landing in my favour.
GP16 was an absolute monster to finish the Season on (50.00s lap times or something) and I would've liked to have done better on the final two races but there is little hope for me when tracks totally against my preferred style of driving come along like GP15 did. :)
Fun races this week but a difficult finish for me. |
