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

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!

Red - yep, that was the idea... not sure how well it'll work logistically yet - but I am sure someone will agree to be a willing assistant in working it out? winkhehe

Guys - 9:10 after top gear (with time to load up) is when the next race is. Sebring 2 mile track, practicing frowned upon... hehe (by me atleast!)

I've just done a few laps practice - which is all I've managed this week, been stuck at work on stupid shifts, so have missed my usual practice time with G! frown

I think my best was a 1.23.2 - but I reckon theres a reasonable amount of time to be taken off that... just had to give up the TV to make sure I can guarantee it later for TG/PHM3GTC. thumbup

Its a verrry easy place to lose 3 seconds a lap on one mistake though... eek should make for some interesting racing. smile

Managed to avoid lukebird wink for the actual races then had some awesome battles with G/Loz to the end, that last corner was great for over/under taking!

Will update the first post in a bit...

First post updated. thumbup

"Doing a LukeBird" hehe No one had mentioned it until then... hehe

I think LukeBird was behind me for my "moment" in practice at the first corner, having not had much practice, I decided to try something that left me sliding around the whole corner and slowly spinning 180 degrees... a little embarrising that. paperbag

Sorry! paperbag
I'll try and not brake quite so late again!
Annoyingly, I wouldn't have created carnage on my last move in the last race, at least I don't think....
I think Loz meant your earlier hand brake turn on the 4th lap of 5... hehe

My only concern with sunset is the amount of cutting that will inevitably going on, I should imagine lap times will come to mean nothing and could lead to some odd racing? any thoughts?

Same time is fine by me - just want to be sure as to what tracks people are ok with... if possible, I'd like it decided by tomorrow night as it'll then enable us to get in practice (I say us, I mean you lot.. I'll be stuck at work!)

Updated the OP... No movements in the absolute standings, but red's current form would have him top excluding two rounds (1 poor, 1 missed) on points... Its all tightening up in second after an unfortunate(?!eek) round again for Geebsie, another to watch when back on form. Both need watching in future, as does that pesky lozstack bloke... the outright win still eludes him but some very very solid results once more.

Suprise of the night for me (aside from my amazing overtake, please ignore that shortly after I lost the lead) was Mikey WHU's immense control of the driftomatic Silvia S15 supermaddriftocar - mad car, superb win in the after-race laughabout. thumbup

For the afterraces next week, some ideas are already in place, but we'll definately mimic TG, though to be fair - we did do the challenger cup before they ever went over there... hehe

Next round suggestions?

Indeed theres a table at the bottom of the first post, odd that three of the top four all run with novice stickers on the back.. hehe

thumbup Superb pics, that really was a bit of a nuts move, shame I couldnt keep you behind... it was only a cut to avoid contact - I reckon you were just a little cautious on the brakes/ not braking?! on the way in. I just pushed, very very hard. Lucky to pull it off, but I was rather pleased about it. biggrin

Great racing, more of the same next sunday... but where? smile

Votes please!
