I couldn't find a good hot lap with a mini, so you'll have to put up with Daniel driving a slightly faster car... not much difference really ;)

rfactor randomly decided not to recognise wheel any longer, hopefully fix before tomorrow.

Wheel works perfectly for other games......

Enjoy the crossing... take warm clothes and put the wheel near the top of the pack. That way it's easier to reach when you throw it :larf:

All jokes a side... take warm clothes.

It's RACE DAY

Found out that the CC will be looking at turns 2, 3, 4 and 5 closely for corner cutting...

TML - last race, sorry, looked to be a gap with enough space. Waited to redress but you left.

A night of 2 halves! 2 solid races, some good dicing with Jonesy and Yoda, then ...

clipped T9 tyre on 1st lap race 3, unlucky that Rifty was too close to avoid me, then

pushed so hard on the brake at T1 race 4 that pedals started to slide away from me ... sorry to those behind me.


Looking forward to Hampton Downs, will be the last round for me, off to Billy Bragg the following Tues.

Had a solid round with a 3rd and 2nd.

Managed to keep the car out of trouble and only once clipped the tryes at T9 to upset the car.

Hard to get ahead of Danman and Gordon though. I think that only big mistakes by them will alter the points.

Good round for me, 6th in qualifying but I was able to finish 4th in Race 1.
Race2 I started from 9th I think and made my way through to 1st with a little help from other's misfortunes. Patience pays off it seems & this was the proof.
Race3. Started 13th and again made my way through to take the win.
Race 4. Started 13th and came through to finish 2nd, 4 seconds behind Hugh.

Some great racing in between & some very battles along the way.

Love racing with good, clean drivers.

Can't wait for my home track, Hampton.
