Was happy with my semi final result, my first ever WF! Although I was expecting a last bender from Drumbstick. The final & GN for me seemed a waste of time. Once the reds & ss's catch up you just get hit hard from every angle & its impossible. It was like banger racing. Might just race the heats in future lol

Following the meeting at NIR on the 16th of July 2012 Leek39 - has been issued with a 2 week ban He may return to racing on 6 August Ban has been served

Don't worry about it Sprat, it's the type of thing you expect on a last lap. I have looked at some of the replay and as you say it was not intentional at all. You were going well all meeting and the points tally shows that.

Had 2 good heats and found Sprat and myself at the front of the final half way and sprat disappeared. Must say that I was nervous when i started getting through the backmarkers but all let me pass nicely so thanks to them. As Drumbstick says, overall the driving seemed good from where i were.... See you next week for the final WQR at Barford. Doh...Best get the red paint out of the shed!

Wow. Both like like hard semi finals, especially the Kings Lynn one. A top 10 finish will be hard. Let's hope everyone makes them both great races.

I clipped it in practice before one of the heats. I too never knew it was there! I have raced round it loads of times in 4 years and that's a first. Unlucky Dode!

WD Bailey and Green. I enjoyed the meeting. Had some great racing in the heats, final i managed a 10th after a spin but the race was carnage. GN, I caused the carnage lol. Sorry to everyone who got caught. Myself and Sij129 made caught, i went to the infield and tried correcting it and collected the racing pack.

If you can build your own PC you get a better PC for the money. Various items, graphics cards come up for sale on here too so worth keeping an eye out.

That is nice, well done Leech!

There is good quality skins being created this year. Credit to the guys who put the time in to them especially for other drivers.

Personally I would keep away from using a laptop and go desktop. Spec wise would depend on your budget really, what you got to spend?

Nice work Samson - love the orange SuperStox

Well Done Sprat - TBC.

WD to TomD on winning the Euro title. For me i was happy that I got past the half way stage of a title race for once but then it ended with a flat tyre!

With the big meeting only days away we have had an interview with the defending champion Tosh 164 You have been successfully in the F2 Euro Championship in the past. 2nd in 2010 and title winner in 2011 – Do you rate your chances of retaining it? I think i have won the euro 3 times in f2 and once in hotrods, it seems to be a championship i get on with, although the draw has a part of the luck in it i suppose. as for my chances this year are very doubtful, i have only raced F2s once or twice this year, im also well out of practice and due to pc problems i lost all my saloon, F2 and F1 set ups due to format. i dont have the time or interest to make new ones anymore as i am back racing 1/10th scale off road buggys in scotland and england. Last year we had the closet finish to a big race where you beat Drumbstick by 0.001 of a second, can you remember anything about the race? lol, i remember some of it, i knew i didnt have the quickest car out there on the night and my expectations of winning werent high. my practice lap times were not to great and i was well off the pace of the supers that were putting in the practice times. i remember getting a clean start which for me is rare. i managed to pull out a big gap of maybe 5-6 seconds to 2nd place. the set up i had at the time was burning up the rears. this was ok on a 16 lap heat but in a euro final with 25 laps or so was a different story. my car was set up taily to try and exit the corners a bit faster. the only problem was the rears starting to go off about 13-15 laps in. i noticed Drumb had moved into 2nd at this point. so my intention was to try and manage a gap to him. this wasnt easy as i had back markers in play to. lap by lap i could see drumb closing half a second a lap on me once he got clear air on my timer. 2 laps from the end he was in touching distance of a punt on me. the last lap i was holding onto the car, the tyres were shot and drumb was there. the last lap and the last corner i knew drumb would go for the hit, i hit the last corner on throttle to go deep to try and avoid a big hit from drumb. the arse went taily and remember the wheels spinning up on the straight exiting turn 4. i thought oh s*** but just had enough in them to cross the line in front og him. If you don’t win it, who do you think will win it? hard one to call really as its a draw grid. i would expect the supers to be in contention. my moneys on Danskin though to lift the euro. You have only recently made a return to the ovals, you planning on making a late push for a semi final place? yeah, ive only raced on occasion i just fancied a play really, im not returning full time to f2,s. i have a new stockcar ready painted for after the euro,s but i doubt it will get used much due to other commitments out with rfactor. at this point in time i have stopped going to real stock cars so i have lost the mojo for it in real and in ukdirt. Thanks once again for taking the time to do this interview, and we wish you good luck when defending your title. thanks tosh164 That's to Tosh for taking the time doing the interview.

lol - that's easy then, stop scoring points!

It's normally at the end of the grading period or at the admin's decision. If a white scores more than 30 points then they are upgraded to Yellow. Looks like your in for some yellow paint aza!

Well Done Marten! It was a great drive to watch. I managed about 2 laps after collecting too much damage from the first lap. For the rest of the meeting I managed to get some decent finishes to say i hate tarmac. See you all next week!

Some parts of the facebook page have been updated. I will keep this up-to-date as we go through the season. Hope you find it useful.

To be fair you were going well, i was on your back bumper in one of the heats until i got caught up but you were definatly not that slow. It was a case of if you survive getting past the whites then you were in with a chance
