    I will be doing time comparisons again this season from round 1. so could we please collect qualifying, fastest lap and total race time for each race. If more than one can collect would be good incase there are discrepancies like in the final round of last season

    Great job on Sunday night guys. From what i could see there were no real issues, i did see downshift and Dot come together however was unaviodable for Down as Dot appeared to lose it in front of him.

    My night.... Happy to qual 4th, Zurro and Demon too fast.... And TT well done as well..

    race start, and was happy that everyone made it through cleanly, from what i could see.... I settled into 5th after TB got a blinder start, but he threw it away on lap 2 over the top of the hill, so back up to 4th with TT up ahead... When he spun on lap 6, i was up to 3rd, and Demon and Azzurro were starting to go at it for the lead. I was hoping that they would fight for a few laps, but Demon was passed and they really didnt lose any time, so i spent the laps till my pit on L13 just trying to close the gap.

    It was coming down very slowly, so took the decision to change front tyres in the hopw i would make the extra 10 seconds up over the last 10 laps.... Short answer.... Wrong call ! didnt get the performance gain i was hoping so by the end of the race was just 8 seconds behind Demon...

    Was a good race, with everyone in the 1:43s for lap time there should be some great racing as everyone comes to terms with the car and track combos. On to the tight and twisty Sugo !

    some awesome racing last night guys... @Thomas Cole as said in the chat after, if you want us to have a look at what happened at turn 1-2 just let us know. Ive asked Dot to check his replay so we have it if needed.

    After getting a small draft up the hill, it was enough to sneak pole by .02 over TT with a 30:2... Race start was all good, front few rows got through ok, but on lap 3 i got a run on TT, with Azzurro getting a run on the both of us.... That meant we were 3 wide going into turn 1, i was stuck in the middle. A small tap on TT and i got out of the throttle, and tt jumped in front only to make small contact with Azzurro.... Then Demon saw a gap on the inside, only for the gap to close and it took them both out with a spin.

    From there Azzurro and I spent the next 20 laps nose to tail, with the lead changing twice and the gap not getting out to any more than .5 second. Azzurro had a lose on lap 21 and i managed to avoid him. He pitted on the same lap, and i pittted on the next and managed to come out with an 8 second lead which i held to the end.

    Some great racing, on to Laguna for the twilight race..

    Typical!
    I was having a nice time poking steadily about at 8/10ths and shaping up for a cracking race with @Azzurro_143 and @DOTAU_ when the ol'DSC chops in. NnnAaaaaRrGghhh!!

    Apologies to @aryin2000 and someone else for random missed brake markers, had a perturbed kelpie pacing about poking her head into my lap :mad:

    Great to back guys.:thumbsup:
    Didn’t have much useful practice leading up, so I was a bit worried.
    Early practice runs confirmed that was the case!
    Ended up 6th or 7th? on the grid, exactly the same time as Stu! ( they contacted me and I said the boss should take it:D)
    All looking good as it was very close between us all, aaaaaaannnddd then I jump started…….:confused:
    Lost about 16 secs to the leaders, and then just put my head down.
    Dot made a mistake, and I was then about 5 secs to 2nd last…..Managed to cut about 4 secs from the leaders TT and Stu as they battled before I pitted, came out 6th and about 4 secs to Dot and Azzuro….
    They guy out of my radar was Demon, quietly sitting in 3rd then starlight to the lead!
    Well done mate, great pace. Well done to Stu and TT for the podium.

    so, no official protests to report for any of the divs... Well done to all drivers...
    Man, talk about some awesome racing.... didnt qualify well, so started 7th i think, but after that for me it was just 14 or 15 laps in each race of endless passing and battles. The number of times i lost 2 or 3 spots down the back straight was insane !

    All battles were incident free, less a little rubbing, but overall had a blast.

    Onto the narrow and wet Brands Hatch.
