Well that ties with my first VLN race as the worst race I've ever done. I dunno if I'm more pissed off at myself or at the car after that. I haven't had any time over this break to practice for this round and that really showed. I had pace on occasion but the consistency just wasn't there. I struggled to get into a rhythm and had to limp back to the pits on multiple occasions. The car felt like a piece of s**t. I still don't know how I can get it to grip at some points on the track. This is going to be a tough couple of months.

That couldn't have gone much better for me and as a "wet" test for the N24 it was great to have all the systems running well for the team and just how comfortable I felt in @adrianhettich's rig! To win by such a big margin was totally unexpected but completely welcome

Highlights for me are few and far between because not much happened. The start was good - off without a hitch and then I guess the lap 4 overtake on @GTL_Lucas out of Bergwerk. We had been talking about where to set him up to pass and it just all played out perfectly. My 7:54 was nice too, just got my head in gear and got the lap in once I was ready.

A little irritated with my final stint and the small mistakes and damage I picked up - blotted what should have been a perfect run but shows there is room for improvement.

Thanks for race guys M4R looks very strong and stable, big congratulations.
Not good race for me but our SLS is still under testing and unfortunetly I took wrong set yesterday also I had two badly crashes
Anyway we never give up

Well after Friday nights performance I went back to the drawing board with the GTR, new setup new gearbox the works, and in testing over a single lap it felt good and around a second quicker but as the race started I soon realised that i'd corrected the issues from Friday night but introduced a whole new set of issues, the biggest of which was tyre wear and performance on a degraded tyre...So tonight will be on another new setup which I've still to figure out.

Roll on tonight for race 3, and fingers crossed that the GTR will be performing to the best of its ability...Overall 2nd isn't out of reach and i'll be pulling out all the stops to make it happen, so look out P24, Reaper Racing is on a mission.

Best of luck to all for race 3!

I should be around to watch the livestream today (if there is one). Good luck everyone!

There will be a livestream tonight. Apologies for last night but due to the wonderful state of the internet here I am completely unable to broadcast live, fortunately the_proffs is back on the case tonight with Adam Weller and Ethan Dixon-Naish in the booth I believe

 

[Pluxtheduck]

Adam Well?

Will there be an elaboration on plux' socks?

 

[rono_thomas]

Hehe Fantastic Christmas socks

 

[Pluxtheduck]

I like my woolly socks... they are warm

The wool socks are what caused the 7:54

Nahh that was the beer

Well, something must have slowed you down was only 1 beer you had, so either you are a lightweight, or I agree with Future, must have been the socks that slowed you down

Yeah, beer had no effect in terms of alcohol but had an effect in terms of humour and keeping me awake

 

[jonnyb1990]

^So that's what I'm doing wrong! Keep trying to drink coffee to wake me up when I should have been drinking beer, rookie mistake.
