Season 11 - Division 3

Couldn't get into the room so only got 1 1/2 laps in before qually started, qualified 12th (last). Managed to steal a couple of positions early & was 5th at the start of lap 18 when incey pitted, but it was all down hill from there. Pitted at the end of lap 18 (as planned). Cola had left the room due to lag & I left pit lane in 11th (last), & spent the rest of the race battling with sooby. Wolf & Half-Byte pitted on lap 28 & I just just past Wolf on his re-entry, I've now snuck upto 7th but Wolf & Byte with fresh rubber rounded me up pretty quickly (back to 8th after passing sooby again). Lap 36, planned pit stop BUT I'd been closing the gap on Wolf & Byte & sooby was right behind me. I had plenty of fuel & tyres were ok, not great, but ok. So I stay out hoping for either one of them to make a mistake & figure I'll pit when the tyres are no good or I run out of fuel. Lap 37 & sooby gives me some breathing space by pitting, & Byte has gotten away but I'm catching Wolf, SLOWLY. I pit at the end of lap 39 hoping 14 laps is enough to catch up. Exit pit lane in 10th right behind my companion for the race, sooby. Trying to drive too hard I made too many mistakes & finished 10th (last). Very disappointed after the race promised so much at different stages.

but it got you thinkin' eh, thats what the enduro is about....apparently

Your doing real well for a driver who wanted to quit last season as you are seeing there is more to racing than just being quick my respect for you is growing because your learning to race getting quick will come. trust me respect on the track giving way and patience is far better than bumping someone just to get ahead then lose it at the next turn because you haven't thought it through once again it might not be much of a reward me saying this but I respect you. Regards Wolfy

Really agree with the contact rule there should be no contact at all using someone else's car as a brake is very bad form. Waiting for the right moment to pass is really worth while adds to the race and give you a smile of satisfaction knowing you earned the points cleanly and not at someone else's misfortune that you have caused.

There will always be some contact in close racing. Nobody's perfect so redressing mistakes is the important thing for me.

Even when you might have to give up a few places it's good to have a clean slate.

i race for a clean slate, but, I have come to the conclusion that aggressive blocking means the gloves come off, i have been forced to this in the last couple of seasons. i might give you a nudge in that circumstance and i wouldn't feel too bad about it.

I suggest @CoffeeNinja77 (aka Dan701645) should join Div 3 @Hatfield @emmo46

I don't block @incey therefore contact not needed why stoop to others bad racing

my comments were general wolfy, by 'give you a nudge' i didn't mean 'give wolfy a nudge' . in my opinion aggressive blocking is bad racing

I know I'm just saying I don't block. Blocking is BAD

psn name dan or coffee @emmo46

Good luck to everyone tonight. This is a nasty track to 'rub the wrong way' as everyone has discussed above...all you can do here for first lap or so is be polite to one another (ie elbows in), and let the 'race start' pan out...because of the different lines that can be taken, some gaps that may appear before you will soon close up just as quick...which can leave one stuck in the fence till the field has passed. Also chicanes and around swimming pool can stop a car 'dead' if you're not careful...can also ruin your race, and anyone close behind you, so please take care in this regard. Good luck all! See youse on the track!
