Just to help with the scoring, I finished 5th-6th-6th. smile
Sorry Ben for being the one who (always seemed to be) bashed into you.
I didn't do it on purpose your honour! frown

All good fun chaps, especially so with the amount of st driving I did.
I think I expended all the good driving effort mucking around with Loz & Graham trying to ctach Loz's pesky Delta! hehe

Are we going to put up more suggestions for the track?
I gather you lot will have looked at the various ones post-championship races. scratchchin

Maybe some group practice arsing about ( wink) in the week?


EFA hehe

hehe No worries Luke, I survived most of the little knocks without too much drama. smile Lots of fun trying to come from the back through... I am no longer sure the GT3RS had that much of an advantage under braking - it seemed to be the one area of the track I could reel everyone in, shame about the rest of the lap!

I knew it would be Geebsies round, I can never match him around Silverstone - and the late arrival Redbarron is proving to be a little unwelcome - sloooooow down!! hehe I'll post up the results in a bit, but just want to say my thanks to everyone out there, was huge fun, before, during and after the races. thumbup

Top job by Geebsie to get two wins, jammy git... I knew I should have nudged you off on that first corner in the last race. winksmile

Great round... I think we'll be looking at Sebring (the 2mile one) next - anyone object or have other suggestions?

Luke managed to come past me under braking/spinning in that last picture and just tough my door with his rear bumper.. eek Was really odd to watch, and thankfully didnt cost me much time.

I've updated the results/table... Geebsie is in the lead, by 1 point. rantinghehe Next round should be interesting - Red's catching fast. eek I was quite happy with the results considering I started at the back for two rounds and had to yield to G in the first corner on the last race which put me err.. at the back again! bangheadpaperbag

Haha. Well...

And that was some really good racing today. Silverstone's a great track for it, seems like it was purpose built for us hehe

Sorry about that first corner on the last race Ben, BMWs are a tad wider than I thought lol.

Its ok, I should have held my ground more, though I thought it may knock us both out and hold back the pack too... meh, racing eh? thumbup

Bring on the next round!

Top photos! thumbup
I'll have a look through the replays later as well!
I reckon there is a shot of my rear bumper scraping down Ben's car! hehe

Sorry chaps, I was a little more errrr aloof last night.
I'll try and keep it together!

With regard to time, any earlier is going to be a pain I reckon (housemate watching utter, utter drivel on tv... rolleyes) so how about 8/9pm on saturday?
Weekday wouldn't be much bother for me either. smile
