    I don't like this track. Couldn't get into the 24's, was lucky to put two 25's together lol. Qualied 6th for first race and on the run down the main straight got an awesome run on everyone and was in 3rd for the left kink then let the car coast a bit and into 2nd right behind S_CLOSE for the hard left but got stuck on the inside wall and come to a full stop 90degrees to the track. Luckily I ghosted and didn't ruin anyone's race but come out in last. Caught back up to the tail end in couple of laps and took advantage of rumbleshorts spinning and I think it was t_b_williams having an accident and latched onto the back of bluemoon, and we stayed like that till the race finished. I could see emmo46 ahead but for the life of me could not get past bluemoon.

    Race 2 went much better. Reverse grid put me in 4th but I got a blinder of a start again and got into 1st by the first hard left. t_b_williams was right behind me coming to the next braking point but outbraked himself and ghosted through me and into the wall. This have me a good buffer back to second till VENDALISM got into 2nd and started to pull me in. Unfortunately for him he made a mistake heading into the braking point on the main straight and hit the wall on the kink. Then I see S_CLOSE in second with 7 laps to go and he was about 7 seconds back. I put my head down thinking if I could just keep my lap times in the 25's he wouldn't catch me till near the end but I just couldn't keep consistent an by about lap 10 or 11 he caught right up and passed me in the final chicane. I backed off a bit to avoid contact cause he had the good line and somehow on the exit I hit the inside of the chicane and damaged my wheel. That was my only mistake all race and fortunately 3rd was far enough back to get away with it but it letS_CLOSE get a 4 sec lead straight away (not that I could have got back past anyway lol). And that's how it finished, the 3 amigos (quoting emmo46) from div4 on the final podium.

    Congrats to S_CLOSE for his double win and to the other podium positions (emmo46, VENDALISM and :):):):) I'll have to check who else) and thank to bluemoon for running the room.

    EDIT. disturboed got the other podium

    I really struggled at this track. Never did find the key to going quick around here in this car and concentrated on staying consistent instead. Qualified 5th for the first race which turned into 4th at the first corner with Ad2 having his first corner strife. Close Venda and Turbo quickly left me behind and I only saw glimpses of the Evil and Ady battle in the mirror. That is how it went for the whole race with the top three ahead by a mile. Well done to Close, Venda and turbo.
    Race 2 started badly for me when I held position to the first corner only to charge straight ahead into the first available wall and grabbed a firm grip on last place. Luckily the mayhem ahead meant I could quickly close on the warring pack and I got my first and only glimpse of Close before he mowed down those ahead. It took me a lot longer to move up and only then because of other's misfortunes. I caught up to Evil about mid race and was able to dive under him for fourth at the last chicane but Venda squeezed through the same gap as me and was really chewing at my rear bumper. After a few laps we passed Turbo as he fishtailed down the back straight and then I had Venda and Turbo pressing me hard. I concentrated on not making errors, hitting my brake marks and trying to stay close to the apexes. Venda was getting ever more insistant even turning my understeering monster into an oversteerer by nudging the tail of my car out mid corner as often as he could but I think it actually helped me. Eventually I saw that Turbo and Venda had a coming together which dropped them both back enough for me to hold the 3rd place to the flag, the hardest fought place I have ever earned. I accidently squeezed Venda into the wall on the left going down the back straight on lap 9, well actually I went straight but the wall comes out and we touched but were lucky to continue after it caused us both a bit of a wobble, my apologies to Venda for that. Venda was very quick and he put as much or more pressure on me than Ad2 has done in the past. It was actually very enjoyable, great racing guys., thanks.

    Not a bad night for me, not a great one either, but it was an improvement on last week.

    Qual 3rd for first race, and got a decent start, held my position and then saw Ad ghost through the lot of us into the wall (ouch). Managed to stick behind S & Ven and we pulled away from the main pack. S was pulling away, just couldn't match his pace. Started to reel in Ven a bit and got reasonably close to him, but outbraked myself down the hill into the wall, forcing me to back up. Fortunately I was ahead enough of 4th spot so I maintained my third spot to the end of the race.

    2nd race I thought, great, start ahead of S & Ven, try to take a few within the first few laps and see how we go. It all went to Sh*t as I somehow got a jump start penalty of like 2.5 seconds even with my foot well on the brake. So down to last with a couple of seconds gap. Made the most of a few peoples misfortunes and moved up a couple of spots before getting tangled up with about 3 or 4 others all trying to pass in the one spot and ended up last again. Pushed through it, and again, after peoples misfortunes and a couple of passes. found myself in 3rd and closing the gap to Ad in the lead. I knew S would catch him sooner or later, so I thought push hard and get closer. The gap was dropping by about 1-1.5 seconds a lap, I knew I didn't have enough laps to maybe catch 2nd spot, but I was hoping maybe the pressure S would put on, would lead to a mistake by Ad and I could snatch 2nd place. But alas, I screwed it up and had a horrendous tank slapper going up the back straight which let emmo and ven past dropping me back to 5th. I got close to Ven again, but couldn't stick the pass and finished, disappointingly for me, in that 5th spot.

    Getting the handle on this car now, so we'll see what Monza brings.

    I think t_b_williams should be 8th, rather than 9th.

    Fixed, you would not believe the trouble I had last night trying to post your ladder, had to paste it one line at a time cause the forum wouldn't let me paste it all in one go :mad:

    Pretty pleased with my best lap being 4th fastest. Pity I didn't do so well first race, half points for 2nd in the second race hurts a bit but oh well!! :lol:

    Waiting on Outtangst to go over the spreadsheet he made for the ladders, I have input all results correctly, the formula for the final position of the sprint rounds must be "off" somewhere.

    You will just have to wear it until he gets a chance to look over it, it will be fixed by next round.

    Actually the spreadsheet seems to be calculating OK. The problem is the placings for round 3. It was:
    Disturboed 3rd
    Emmo46 4th
    Ad2mny 5th.
    The table should look like this:
    Ps. Driver: Finishing positions =Points tally
    R1 R2 R3 R4 R5 R6 R7
    ROME DAYT MADR MONZ NURB TRIA LE M
    01. S_CLOSE-------------: *^1 ^4 *^1 = 67
    02. vendalism-----------: 8 *1 2 = 48
    03. emmo46--------------: 2 5 4 = 40
    04. X-3vilm00n----------: 4 7 6 = 26
    05. stumbles------------: 7 2 DNS = 24
    06. disturboed----------: DNS 6 3 = 23
    07. t_b_williams--------: 3 9 8 = 21
    08. ad2mny--------------: 5 DNS 5 = 20
    09. inline6-------------: DNS 3 DNS = 15
    10. Aza2672-------------: DNS 8 7 = 10
    11. rumbleshorts--------: 6 DNS 9 = 10
    12. GrayFoxZR1----------: DNS DNS DNS = 0
    13. hsv_butters---------: DNS DNS DNS = 0
    14. jordy105------------: DNS DNS DNS = 0

    Also I think Bluemoon and 3vilmoon are the same person, I could be wrong.

    No it isn't, the spreadsheet has a two column input for sprint rounds then it runs a formula on the two places giving you an overall placing, the placing is then transferred automatically to cells preformatted to the ladder text that we then just copy all the cells and paste into the thread in the correct format all done by the spreadsheet, this is the first season we used this spreadsheet, and I am not going to mess with the formulas until OuttaAngst returns.

    He will see this and get on to it, he just hasn't been around lately, like I said I will fix it later, it will be fixed I am aware of your concern, I will notify you when done.
