Am I sensing some negativity here towards noobs?

Absolutely not, I'm feeling still like a noob.
And I like noobs, because I can beat them.

Only if your in a Capri

bon bah ...

Im really a good feeling with this Porsche 911 S
Thanks for the battle Franck T.
Carl your accident ...!
Nice race, im happy

Well those were two fun races, I enjoyed them much despite not finishing the first. Still getting used to my new wheel, specially the 540º degree rotation instead of the old 270º of the black momo, but I see that I improved and am now closer to Carl and some other guys.

1st race:

I was far from the top in qualifying but had a steady good rythm and after being tail ended in the first turns I recovered and was able to hold for some laps Carl and Steve (Who were obviously faster than me) until my errors made me go wide and lose position, then damage the car.
With Carl I had a pleasent small fight, thanks to him not being familiar with the track and the differences between our cars, which evened us more than normally would be the case. His Jaguar blew me away in the long straight, but thanks to the excellent chassis of the 914, I was able to outbrake him and open a bit of gap in the mid section of the track and this went so for some laps. That was the key for me, making such a gap he could not catch up in the end straight, and theferore while pushing in the mid section I went out. BIG THANKS for the nice small fight Carl, was the best thing of the evening for me and more than compensated for not finishing!

2nd race:

Had not trained much with the 911 but managed to make a good start then ruined it stupidly running wide in the first up-down left hander

Lost concentration and while catching up the rear of the field hit the neutral gear button on the wheel while countersteering and spun out into the gravel in the chicane and lost there any hope of staying with the pack Will put the neutral elsewhere for next races, this is the 2nd time it happened to me, but the first one at least had no consequences.

Later I had good rythm and catched everyone who had problems and finished 5th thanks to perseverance and nurseing the car, benefitting from the people who blew their car.

Looking forward to more of this

1st race was fun, tried hard to keep behind Paul and Carlo but a stupid CTD ruined it all so I finished 3rd.

Epic battle with Carl in the second race, unfortunately it ended in tears I was holding on to the position as well as I could but Carl was flying in his Porsche, and I hit him once, not because I wanted to block him but rather beause I was almost spinning and wanted to save my day. Meant to let you through just after that, but then I saw Steve just behind, and letting two Englishmen go past me in one go was to much for my liking :raclure: Carl then managed to pull a great move on me on the outside of turn 2, brillantly done, I knew I had to go past in the straight with the power of my mustang, but a tiny misunderstading (couldn't figure out whether Carlito was going to the left or right of the track before the bump) had major consequences: we touched and I saw in my mirror Carl fly around Dumbreck-style The feeling was so realistic, I really thought "Oh my god I killed him" as in the good old days I slowed down dramatically for like half a lap, and then ended up finishing the race anyway, but without much stamina left

Sorry Carl for spoiling your superb effort en route to a podium finish

1st Race
Again i turned up 2 seconds before the race started with no knowledge of the track
so the 1st couple of laps where interesting .....
had a night fight with Alberto and as my confidence grew i liked the track and found myself getting quicker and quicker
took Peter later on the race very pleased with 5th place .....
2nd Race
Decided on the Porsche as this is my lucky car and one i am most familiar with .
Was pleased with my Qualifying position i liked the track and i knew after previous races at other tracks i could maybe
put some pressure on Antoine in the Mustang , Alberto got the slip on me as i made my normal slow get away in the Porka ,
but he went wide very early which aloud me to start work on Antoine ......

What started was the most beautiful fight , i was all over the back of the Mustang in the slow corners
but as soon as i hit a straight Antoine left me for dust , i think i managed to get by earlier in the race but then bloody went wide i managed to catch back up fairly quickly , i parked on Antoines bumper a couple of times just to let him no i was still there but i think the difference between the 911 and Mustang he probably did not even notice .....
I Can honestly say i could not have tried any harder , Steve made a spin and it looked like it was going to be a 3 car race for 2nd place...
Steve started to catch us both but i deperatly tried to get by Antoine , Persistance paid off and i eventually managed to sneak by and maintain 2nd very briefly , this would have been my 1st ever 2nd place and i had visions of showing the replay to my kids , I Knew when we got to the long straight , that the mustang would probably go flying by so i positioned myself in the middle of the track to try and make it as hard as possible without blocking and then all Hell broke loose ... Antoine obviously under pressure because he was being taken by another fellow Brit Accidently hit my car and sent me into Orbit ....

He hit me that hard i think i got whiplash ........The Rest is History .....

One of my most enjoyable and frustrating races ever....Antoine you owe me a Scotch ...
I Cant understand why more people dont attend as this series is a blast ...

Congrats to Carlo for both wins wd all finishers a most enjoyable evening ....

pas trop compris l attitude de Steve et Peter alors que je les ai attendu pres de 2 fois 6 Secondes pour qu on se fasse une chouette bagarre a 3 , j ai fait un petit passage dans l herbe a un moment et ils se sont barrés sans m attendre .... dommage
