let any that caught me, past (except Diver gave him a hard time for a lap)
Rubbish you were easy meat (in fact I think I was eating my Donner and quaffing ale as I wafted past)
I was totally beside myself when I came out the pit exit and saw you and Andy just passing meI knew I'd never hear the end of it if you beat me in your nancy little 65 car, so we had a superb fight all the way round that lap
AJ deserved to beat you anyway look at his titanic battle to the front
but YOU! you are sumit else (Little Britain) ... cruisin / mincin around for most of the race pickin on lesser 65 cars! BULLY!
Get a real car instead of that squashed fag packet, and stop getting off on 'easy meat' Deever
roll on Donny, I am soooo going to tease you..... actualy, second thoughts, better not go getting you all excited
pity it's a couple of years too latediver944 said:

Daveyboy, what lap did you pit on?
17 or 18 something like that.
I never changed anything, or took fuel, so it was a more stop and go.
Although I did pit, honest!
No problem, it's just you had 2 cut laps on the listing where it doesn't give the lap times and it must have been one of those. I'm just trying to work out everyones strategy for the race and see who's worked best.
My strategy of "when taking the lead immediately crash" didn't work
My pitstop in total was 3mins 16s because I completly missed cancelling the repair damage (bent metal bits only). So I lost around 81secs in the pits (I had a similar strategy to Ian so maybe my pit would have been a 1m55s stop same as his). I finished 74secs behind Ian at the end of the race.
My race was over on lap 9 when i had what appeared a minor off and punted the front end on the tyre wall of turn 3. That wasn't a race-finisher by any means and i cant explain why my engine failed when its at the back ! Mark then overtook in his Pantera to snatch 4th.
Great fun while it lasted but that pantera is a bit too much to handle when driven in anger (constantly balancing it on a drift to keep the car point in to the apex), i'll stick to the 911 and go for the tortoise approach

League results updated, shout if I've messed up. (I don't think I have but nobody is perfect!)
The 76 class is looking very close (except for Ian out in the lead) whilst the 65 class has been turned upside down after D_Mike and PVapour both failed to score any race points. PV rescued a point for fastest lap at least...

Yes he was another about to lap me and dived into the pits instead - how am i going to learn your lines if you dont pass me!
PS expect at donnington i might regret that comment especially if we are on the national

Hi,
sorry i didn't stick around after the race but I had to make the bed
Sorry to the GT40 I nerfed on the first corner, I was going up your inside but then I got nerfed wide and just clipped you, so sorry about that.
I'm getting better at not spinning if not actually going any faster. I had a plan to fuel for the whole race and just stop and go for my pit. Imagine my shock when on lap 6ish my fuel indicator illuminated. I had been playing with my setup (for the worst) in qualifying and had loaded my internet default just before the race, forgetting that it only has 6 laps of fuel DOH! No wonder I was lapping faster then usual
At least I didn't overshoot the pit entery as I had done every other time I tried it.
Had some good battles with the 65 cars but then two let me past which was a bit boring 
Only spun a couple of times, mostly after my longer the expencted pit stop
Made my tyres last the whole race
Good race, also sorry if I held up a silver 911 trying to lap me twice, got a bit carried away and kept out breaking myself into the first corner

twas me, as I remember swearing at you as you tried to outbrake me into the hairpin after the pits, and I nearly outbraked myself! Luckily I knew the Porsche would make it with judiscous use of the brake cadence technique and just made it....
You had me worried for a bit - you gave me a run for my money!!!

How about another column for overall position not counting car class ?
I just worked out the current standings which would be:
1 Ian Parker 18 GTC76
2 Dangerous Mike 10 GTC65
3 PH - Pvapour 8 GTC65
3 Neil Bolton 8 GTC76
5 Andy[PH] 7 GTC76
6 FourWheelDrift 6 GTC76
6 Mark Johnson 6 GTC76
8 PH_Adam 5 GTC65
8 PH-MarkK 5 GTC76
8 [PH] Davyboy 5 GTC76
11 PH_Diver944 3 GTC76
