Tosh924

Some good racing mixed with a bit of chaos and unpredicatability made for a great meeting in my opinion. I saw a lot of how stock car racing should be done last night. Race long battles, hard and fair hits to return the same which can easily be done at Bradford with its wide banked turns, perfect for coming back at your opponent next bend. Thats why the Bradfords are still my favourite tracks for rFactor, the racing there can be superb.

 

Personally I messed both the heats up, I got into a decent position, about 4th or 5th in the first heat and went for a big last bender on Marten but got it wrong and spun myself, then tried to get into to reverse but found neutral and in the end reversed over the line for 11th.

 

The second heat and I couldn't really make very much ground up getting caught up with the blues & reds battle for last for most of the race but with about 5 laps to go I got a break and went for it trying to catch up to the top 10, again I made a move on Chevy on the last corner for 7th but spun myself again, and this time found reversing to get over the line for 9th.

 

Luckily it was all in or I probably would not have made it, final time,and my aim was to finsih the race in the the ordinary fashion, facing forwards. I can't remember much of the start of the race, except I think it was the final where I annoyed Aub slightly by going up his left rear wheel and almost catapulted us both into the crowd, but it was in fact Pink who had put a lap down hit on me. However, I must of got away from the usual scrap at the back fairly early because I found myself in 4th and saw Chevy, Tosh and TomD not too far up the track but I would of needed at very least 5 more laps to catch Chevy. I decided to hold back on Tosh and TomD, as they were close in the hope they may take each other out on the last bend as I was under no pressure from anybody behind, the track was clear. Sure enough Tom went for a last bend attempt on Tosh but made the same mistake I had made in the heats and spun himself, and I picked up 3rd, which I was happy with. Congratulations to Chevy who drove a great race.

 

The Grand National turned out to be best race of the night for me, usually they are the worst, I had a great race with Tosh for a quite a few laps but again Allstar far and away in the distance, totally uncatchable. I must also apologise to Marky & Mav who looked like they were having a great race when I came along, hit Marky wide into Mav, T-boning him and they both went into the wall. Sorry guys.

 

Lots of people to congratulate, well done to Allstar for 3 wins, Chevy for winning the final which also means an upgrade to yellow, and Tosh for top scoring.

 

See you all next week,

you know its funny kruiz, i always seem to have long hard races with yourself and tbh i enjoy the battle, always know what to expect with you when your behind me, i always wait on the tap from behind to send me out wide enough for you getting past and vice versa. none of this full bore hit stuff. i knew you had the faster car (just i think) so was a great GN.

quite surprised at top scoring even though i missed the first heat with a burst radiator lol

listen to this till the end, this guys superb
