Damnit Paul, control yourself :( at least we only lose 2 points, can I put a reserve in for him next week or do I have to go without a team mate?

To be honest Spurgy the punishment must serve as a deterrent like you say 2 points aint much.:sly: So no reserve mate im afraid.:sick:

Damnit, my team isn't exactly having an easy season :(

Normally it wouldnt be a problem say if your teammate was away/busy to call up a reserve but we gotta be firm on this one hope you can understand.👍

Tables up tomorrow JB out.:cheers:

I had already been taken out by stu I think as he had problems and hit me coming back on track, colliding with toffe only added to my furious ANGER :-) Wasn't his fault.

Never want to race on that track again. Don't think it it's really up to scratch.

it was horrible in the merc over the bumps. Almost everytime going into the hairpin at the end of the straight the front wheels were clear and off the ground. In fact they we off the ground at about 5 places on the lap...I even go all four wheels off the ground in the last chicane one time :sly:. I took more kerb (and hill) than I should of and flew into the wall by the pits :lol:.
 
That track in this car wow never again it was like being on ice the whole time.

Sy you was just very unlucky through no fault of your own twice on same lap.

I thought you had decent pace tbh while battling you and Nel for a while.:indiff: Personally i liked it and felt i had a nice setup which may have helped couldnt live with the Vipers though....again!!:ouch:.:indiff: Maybe its not ideal with these cars will thick again in the future.:guilty:
 
I like the track, you hit the corners in just the right place you can really fly round it, but if you don't hit a corner properly there's usually a bump waiting to throw you off :p

Tha knows. I'm not holding any grudges. One of those things. That's Motorsport!
 
I hate this track for the same reasons I hate the Nurb, narrow track, off camber corners, jumps, every thing a track shouldn't have. Makes a challenging time trial track road though and the first part of the lap is fun if you get it right, however in a Viper with destroyed tyres it is buttock clenching

Sorry Sy, cannot mind of it but sorry anyway.
 
Hope my slow and steady race results in a top 10 championship finish.
 
Just worked out I now have a 45 point lead in the championship :) Will work out team points in a bit, can't remember the results, but I'm pretty sure we've closed up quite a bit :)

EDIT: Just worked out the top 4 team points if you're interested :p
Team Psycho: 298
Team Toad: 248
Tacabietr: 246
Californication: 245
So it's really close for 2nd :D Hopefully when Paul gets back we can go after JB's team, I can't quite catch them by myself :p

Nope, just did a quick run, no tyre wear after 4 laps of trial mountain. Also the update had had no effect on my setups, they are still doing exactly the same times. :)

I just did a tyre test in my Ginetta G55 spec Callaway C12. (A series I'm planning ;)) It was 385bhp/1233kg with 20 rear DFs. I managed to do 25 laps on racing hards before the fronts were destroyed, I was flat out every lap inc out lap. Until after lap 20 the pace drop off was 3.5-4 seconds but after lap 21 the times started becoming 5+ slower. Then on lap 25 I was over 8 seconds slower so I knew the fronts were knackered, the rear still had 25% ish though.

This was done online and how this will affect the tyre wear on the BST cars I do not know. Also I only had around 15-20l left in the tank so a more powerful car could potentially run out of fuel before tyres :lol:.

To add I drove for around 55-57mins before the tyres gave up.

Fuel before tyres!!??!! Lmao:ouch: Neverknow might be able to work a 4wd Lambo in next season something to think about.:sly::)
 
I actualy went into the test a bit sceptical but was :eek: when I breezed past 15 laps with tonnes of tyre left...

Best I'd managed before in any car was 13 laps in Nels Z06 Spa "Enduro" (Not really :p) and I was running on rims my last two laps..
