Jason broke early, you and I broke late and you dove in front of me to miss Jason. You got the nasty end of the stick. That is racing. I did not get any damage from the impact so it had to have been a tiny hit. Looking at replay your fronts were locked.

Sorry you were upset with me and I assume the "thx" in chat (which is not allowed) was for me.

And I found a lovely pole on the main straight I had not seen before. OUCH!

Apologies about the pace lap. I thought we had it set to run a pace lap after recon. My mistake. I will check to see what proper setting is for server.

I think Pascal was left at start due to my error. My apologies Pascal.

I broke at the #5 marker, which was my usual shut-off for that corner; I may have been a bit more cautious than normal since it was lap one.  I'm sorry If I inadvertently caused the contact.  

Results are up

Le seul moyen de devancer Steve était d'essayer de ne pas changer de pneus, ça a failli marcher !
Pneus morts, je m'arrête à 10t de l'arrivée, et repars derrière Dana que je rattrape, mais impossible de la doubler !

Bravo Greg (j'ai bien cru que ta victoire s'envolait comme ton spoiler !), Steve et Dana !

Points are now updated

Well, this was a lonely one for much of the race but the action I got holding off Jean-Marie for the first 15 or so laps and Yves for the last 10 certainly made up for the safe-pace cruising in between. Thanks to both for the stimulating and very fair battles.

And, of course, congrats to Greg and Steve! Thanks, Steve, for sending the unsolicited setup during quali...we were within one or two clicks on everything but track bar, brake bias, and gearing so I'm grateful I got to peek at your notes and see that I was on the right track. It did inspire me to try a shorter fourth gear and taller first which helped me picked up a few extra tenths and which is at least partially responsible for me being able to bring up the rear of today's Javelin 1-2.

vu le peu de concurrents ta2
y avait tout de mème des points a prendre........j ai fais au mieux

bravo a greg qui a su passer a travers  .......malgre sa faute en fin de course

ainsi qu a ray riddal pour cette apparition a succes
ainsi qu a steve evidemment


j y croyait MOI a ton coup de bluf Ives
dommage

Enjoyed myself last night even though I was on my own, and this was definitely the longest race I've done so I'm pleased I kept in on the road , and surprised my tiers just about hanged on.

Well done to Greg, (very fast)

Ray.

je ne suis pas passé loin de la correctionnelle comme je l aie connue à la precedente course hier soir ... exactement le meme schéma , il reste peu de tours , j ai une avance tres importante sur mon suiveur , je commence a m ennuyer , me déconcentre un peu et paff sanction immediate , heureusement hier soir elle s est transformée en une " simple " crevaison a la sortie du 1 er droit ....  mon attaque de tous les instants pendant les 2h10 min precedente m ayant apporté un avantage de plus de 3.30 min sur mon suiveur ne fut pas une mauvaise chose au final , car plus de 30 s de perdues pour arriver a me sortir du sable plus tout un tour de pres de 2 min en temps normal sur 3 roues , font que malgré mon ravitaillement pour changer les pneus avant , je ne finis plus qu avec 1 min d avance sur le deuxieme oouufff

sorry for my " Hi guys " everytime on the tchat , I didn t know that a girl was among us , so my apologies Dana and welcome

well done all finishers , grats Steve

 

perso je trouve certaines courses de ce champ vraiment trop longue en temps , les reduire a maxi 2 h ne serait pas une mauvaise chose je trouve car la sans formation lap elle dure quand meme 2h 20 environ je crois .... ca fait tres long pour un dimanche soir ...

8 points pour 22 tours,c'est bien payé.
Faisait chaud ce dimanche soir,a Bruxelles 28°.Un premier contact ,l'avant a viré aux rouge,puis en bagarre avec Jason,je rate ma vitesse deuxième contact avec le mur,moteur cassé.
Bravo a tous les finisseurs.A Steve et Greg.

Hi guys,

could not make this one. Only got back home from holidays on Monday 31st. By the time you guys were starting, I was still in Miami. Sorry for not having posted earlier.

Will be there for the Glen through.

Cheers,

Timo

Great Pictures Jason!!!

+1

Even though I didn't make it to the end, this race was a lot of fun I had two very spirited battles. First with Jef, then with Gérard. I guess I was too hard on the Mustang's engine when shifting; after I contacted a wall, the impact alone was enough to make the engine catch fire, and that was it.
