DONE I started the 6 rounds yesterday and have just finished - I was that slow Seriously don't know how you lot can go that much quicker!!! Still enjoying it though

Please cancel my booking - thanks

I'm Done!!!!! In all 6 stages I only crashed once, but due to not being able to see enough I was far too cautious! Car handled well for me, so happy with that but just annoyed at the graphics. Was consistently around 35 secs off the leader which meant I finished 2nd to last at this point but only just! Close run thing Aub

I haven't done my runs yet Aub

Third week running now I have had a bad run. My pc wasn't playing ball and when I finally got to practice, I knew right away that it wasn't going to be a good night. The car was not performing and no matter what tweaks I did it just didn't settle. Onto the European and as last year it was over on lap 1 - How does it always seem to be only me that get spun round and then battered to pieces! So sat and watched it from the infield and it was clear that Dan wasn't going to be denied once the race settled down. Congrats Dan. Well the Euro set the tone of the meeting for me as every race, I was hit on bend 1 lap 1 and it was race over. I just tootled round at the back. Obviously I wanted to have a go at the GN, but same story found myself at the back after a few laps, just hoping that others dropped out but crossed the line 11th an no points! Its seems Ricky's sudden rise to stardom is my demise to bargain basement! Feel as if I should have a few weeks out its been that bad, and especially how Jake has won 5 GN's so far this season, I doubt I will hold onto that lead anyway :-(

Congratulations to LeeK #39 - 2015 F2 European Champion!! As practice went on I actually worked out how to drift the car and improve my lap times, so I was happy that I could handle the car. Only downside was that if I drifted too much my backend was available to hit and I'd be spun. Euro race started really well, actually got to 10th from 23rd but it was short lived as I was half spun and lost several places. Nevertheless happy to have finished in 14th and not be lapped!!!! Enjoyed the meeting although I was dreading it Thanks all

Having not used the car before (although I have bought it and not raced it, but should have) I found it very light and gears were not what I was used too!! Therefore on both Stage 1 & 2 I crashed several times including within the first 3 bends!!! From then on I drove like I was on a Sunday School outing but slowly got used to how it handled. Stages 3 to 5 got gradually better, but looking at the leader board I resigned myself to being last, as I was after Stage 5. Stage 6 and it was going well until three quarters when my back wheel hit a rock and spun me; I was close to the edge and took an age to turn it around without going over the edge. Finally crossed the line in disappointment but when the final leader board came up I couldn't believe I was 4th and just 8 seconds off claiming 3rd!! (Dam that spin!!!) So overall not a bad performance seeing how I really dislike Greece and was not prepared with the car as much as I would have liked. NEXT PLEASE!!!

Terrible night all round W&Y's lost the win on the last bend, three heats last in all but one despite being in contention with a few laps left in a couple. B Final fought for it and got criticised for trying too hard, but just wasn't quick enough against Stox. GN led after Stinjy tried to remove me on first bend, only to see he who criticised me catching in my mirrors! Let him through, then Jake caught me and forced me wide allowing the red top train catch up. Got spun and corrected. Lost several places and lost a few more when the leaders crashed on the home straight causing me to spin again! (God my car is light when it hits others!) Crossed the line in 8th for my only points of the night - A few more for the GN Champs but a lot less for the World of Shale Champs Chalked up tonight to experience and looking onward to the Euro's next week (might have dropped out of an automatic qualifying place now too!) Well Done to DanW for the final win , not easy to come by these days, be really nice to be in with a shout of one myself!

Thanks for bringing it to everyone's attention Obviously GN's are a target nowadays but in the main, I just keep trying at every meeting in the hope I can pick up a few decent results, so we will see at season end how successful I have been. Just have this feeling that I will be pipped to the post but it won't be for not trying As for Hednesford, that was really hard work. I cannot get my car to drift so have to go in tight, wait and boot out again. In practice I was ok on my own, but found it difficult in the meeting to be around other cars. I hung in there most races and was pleased with my heats even tho I did go flying in my third heat whilst 3rd. Final was over in 2 laps but no shock there and the GN was the hardest race of the evening but I survived for an excellent 5th place. Congrats to Stan, DBecks and Kizza ( who should have won the final but for two inconsiderate bacmarkers fighting for 14th and 15th), you all drove exceptionally well all meeting. Ricky, who has given you their setups? You suddenly are driving well and you have stopped asking people for setups in practice. Good to see you going well, although it is more of an achievement to do it yourself !

Happy with my runs

ERM Scratch that what I just wrote! Just seen Grasser's first run, and he goes faster round the hairpins than I take turn 3 & 4's!!! That video was amazing - really wish I could do that I will be lucky to be within 2 minutes of that time lol Oh well - Not to be last should be my ambition then

I wonder if I will get an advantage here!! Been running the Impreza in the Championship today and did really well in the Germany tracks, (actually finished in 2nd once!), hate Greece and Wales tho but went quite well at Monaco. I have actually got promoted out of the Clubman to do my Impreza runs so hopefully as it was harder to do - Snowing in Monaco, I hope to be able to go well this time. One thing I have trouble with (well one of many lol) is that sometimes its hard to see where I am going, especially Greece, it is very dark, hence why I crash a lot there! Either tomorrow or Thursday I should be able to give it a go, so we shall see

Now finished - Total Disaster!!! Lloydy you are not last Enjoying it though, ready for the next stages

Having watched the video, I can see why I loose so much time. I am very tentative on the corners and still struggle with handbrake turns. Other thing that stood out was that when I get up into 4th gear my car starts wandering and I cannot go flat out otherwise I spin. Jake was very stable at high speed and even more stable under braking for the bends. I tend to go cautiously in 3rd gear, but as soon as I get confident and put it into 4th, there is suddenly a bend and I'm off! lol Will do some more championship races this afternoon then onto the other rounds remaining. Lloydy, I am not giving up that last place easily!!!

OH DEAR!!!! In my mini cooper S I was superb!! Then I thought I could use the mini in the challenge but persuaded myself to go with a front wheel drive car so plumbed for the Ibiza. Well it was nothing like driving the Mini, but I persevered and did ok in the first 3 rounds, nothing stunning but made it through. Then the 4th round at night - Oh Boy!! Lost the lights after about 3 mins and then lost a tyre after about 6 mins!! Finally found the end sparks flying, but disappointed Roll on the weekend when I can give the other four rounds a go - Don't hold much hope of not being last though

Changed - Ben

I changed to manual gears reluctantly, did a test run in Monaco in the Mini and it was great! But then trying to run in the Escort was a different story! Not quite got the hang of it yet, and one slight error costs me so much lol At one point the co driver asked "Are we down on power?" Anyway I have finished it with three wheels, a bust radiator and hardly any panel work, and by the time I got to the finish my mechanic had gone home I eagerly await the next round, but could my time be halved so I can keep up with you lot????? ;-)

No-one has any fear of being last now I am having a go!!!! So come on join up and show me how useless I am Can anyone tell me how to set reverse please? My controls say brake/reverse and I use my pedals as a brake but the reverse wont activate using that pedal. So many times I had to recover the vehicle when I needed just to reverse! Really trying to get to grips with the handbrake also - Its funny to watch me I WILL do a stage without crashing (If my mechanics haven't given up on repairing the car already!) and in a decent time

Nothing wrong with what happened Jake, its just normal for me to spin or something and loose out, but thankfully this time it worked out

I wasn't impressed with my driving all night. Practice I was fluent and stuck it out when racing other cars and happy with my pace. Come the meeting something changed. The car acted differently and I was forever correcting, loosing me time and once the blues catch up that's it, the train don't stop till the Supers are through! Extremely disappointed at my heat results and then not to qualify for the A Final (Shouldn't be too surprised only been in 3 so far this season!), it was a disaster! Really banking on finishing the GN, and was comfortable in 3rd until FT & DanSkin caught me up. Thought I was going to loose out when Jake & Jack started squabbling around me but held on for a finish. So all in all looking at the points, a below average performance, but they can't all be great meetings for me. Well done Wardy, almost a clean sweep - very impressive. Thanks to Admins. Lets see what next week brings

Sounds good. Had a look at the promotional stuff, so could be tempted to download and join in

DBecks at our grade there are always (in my experience anyway) more bad nights than good. I enjoy racing against you as you are a fair and considerate driver and deserve to have a bit of luck every now and again. I have been yellow now for many years and this season I only race whites and yellows in a meeting, those blues reds and superstars don't exist! That way I can judge if my performance was good on the night or not. I have only been in 3 A Finals this season so far and bombed out of all three! Pick and choose where you race, practice the night before and if you think its not for you, don't race the meeting, or if you do decide to give it a go, don't put any expectations on yourself - Just go out and drive! I chose not to race last night for one reason and one reason only - The track. I do not wish to upset drivers at all, but this track lends itself to making errors and thus will cause others issues - I don't want that. Tracks that have sufficient space for me to get out of the way, I will race all day long, but the tight tracks I leave to the professionals or the suiciders! Keep at it Dan, be a shame not to see you at the meetings I race at
