I don't know where to start with painting one. If someone could do me one with black body work and red bars I would be overjoyed. Thank you. Twisty

Enjoyable meeting for me. Nothing special, some solid points in heat 1 with a nice little tussle with #394. Got bad luck in a few of the races with parked cars, and my suspension always seems to go really easily. Look forward to next week.

Twisty mate check you're replay's It was a yellow top that nerfed you to cause you to spin, a slight lean on you was all it was. It was a white top that hit you as he had nowhere to go other than straight through you. Who is the unnamed Yellow top? PM it to me as I have a good idea who it is. Also I was in TS an I think the insults were going both ways not just 1 way traffic. Hope you have a better meeting next time out mate as I know the feeling all to well. You can see on the video ritzo posted that I go past the white and he tucks straight in and right up the back of me next bend, only one result coming from that. I wasn't in TS so couldn't of been me giving the insults. I told him in no uncertain terms on the chat thing, that if he wasn't going to accept my apology then he can shove it, but the insults where started on his side. If you don't know which yellow top I'm on about then you don't need to. Every meeting someone complains about him so it won't take you long to find out.

Not a good meeting for me last night. Was running decent times in practice nearly .5 second quicker than last time i did this track so felt confident. W&Ys: Was the first yellow on track so was hoping to start at the front of the yellows, got overtaken on the formation lap. This really winds me up, its very clear in the rules and yet i seem to be the only one that follows said rule. Got a decent start, caught a few whites, passed the first one only to be done by the same white next bend, which in the commotion broke my suspension and left me on the infield. With him being a white top and having only done a few meetings i will give him the benefit of the doubt and say it was just a racing incident. Now i stress at this point i didn't know the suspension was broke, i run in car camera with the laptimes displayed on the right. I then waited for a gap and went to rejoin but the car did not turn instead just hit the fence and blocked half the track with Ritzo being the unfortunate driver who didn't react quick enough to pass me on the inside. Obviously mortified i left the game, and went to apologies to Ritzo for said mistake, and received a torrent of insults which is to be expected i suppose. Eventually Ritzo apologiesed for the insults and i thought all was good. I've now been shown a youtube clip where Ritzo has again belittled me. I appreciate it was a big mistake but im still a rookie, learning the car and tracks, and dont appreciate people talking to me/about me in this way. Last night i can except emotions must of been raw but after a truce was called and everything fine im shocked at what i've read today. After said incident and following discussions i was not up for the rest of the meeting as much as i tried. I will bring up one final point though. There is a yellow top who i won't name because everyone will know who i'm talking about. No one has a good word to say about his driving style. Up until last night i hadn't really experienced it but now that i have could i also add my concern at the way he drives. I hope it was just a one off meeting in regards the contact, i seemed to get hit heavy every race and remember the last time we visited that track it being fairly heavy on incidents. Once again apologies to those who i hit last night as always it was unintentional.

Enjoyed my first meeting as a yellow top, some very enjoyable racing.

Ok Dave, thank you for clearing that up.

Dave if I could get to the black stuff it would help lol. As for the 13. summat I think I may have a bad day on Monday lol a 14.4 is all I can pull out of the bag. Danny if you are on tomorrow evening I will send you my setup. Currently running 13.7s which will be competitive from whites. Dave could you clear up the inside curb situation because I hear something different every time I race this track. I've heard 2 wheels on is fine but others have said no wheels allowed? Thanks, Twisty

Goes without saying I really enjoyed last nights meeting. I love this track, last time we raced it was only my second shale meeting and I didn't really do anything. I even managed overtaking last night without wrecking anybody's meeting. Final was a buzz, was cacking myself sat on the front but got into corner one first and managed to stay semi out of the way whilst staying quick. Very happy to finish 13th because I battled all the way through. Thanks to everyone I raced last night.

Here are my skins, thanks to crashley for doing them. I might be able to race them now if i get a bit of time free from work. shale93.zip Tarmac93.zip

Thought i'd do a little write up. Used to do them on xbox meetings when i had the time and i've got a spare 15 mins so have a read if you're interested... Practice/Pre-meeting warmup: This was the first f2 meeting i've done post setup move.(Now got everything at home so can practice regularly) So i was feeling a lot more confident than i usually do. Car was handling well and was regularly hitting 13.9/8s and even managed a .7 so was well chuffed. Some of the reds/ss were giving good reviews so i knew i had could make the open maybe even win a race if i got a good lead in the first few laps of the heats. Heat 1: Not sure if it was the nerves or what but i was all over the place. Still struggle to handle the car whilst being punted so quickly found myself towards the back were i was able to pick up speed and settle myself. End result was nil points and a slight knock to the confidence. Heat 2: There was less white tops in this and i managed to get pole. Got a good start and lead a few laps but was aware of 58 Tom behind and had heard others mentioning he was undergraded in teamspeak so let him through and followed his line. This proved a good tactic as only a few got past me after that and i was happy with 5th. Heat 3: I started behind the pole sitter for this with only 3 whites on track. I quickly found myself in 2nd with 103 in front and the yellows closing in fast. I havent found myself in the situation of being car than the car in front so far this season so it was a challenge trying to pass cleanly. I didn't manage it and ended up spinning 103(sorry mate). Which closed everything up massively. Not sure when it happened but i found myself in a cracking scrap with 954 and 238. Nice nudging but no spinning or race ending shots and managed to hold off a late challenge from 474 to pick up some more solid points. UK Open: Again a new experience for me being on the inside in the middle of the pack. There was pushing before the flag dropped all the way till about lap 3, during which time numerous cars went out but i some how managed to keep moving and was sat about 18th. The rest of the race was fairly uneventful finishing roughly 16th. Was very happy only to be lapped by the top 3 cars. Grand National: I was the only white top out which i thought would be a good thing but i realised quickly that meant the yellows had a clear run. I held my lead a good 5 laps and 954 was only catching a little at a time but too much laptime watching cost me and i was reeled in. A little tap and i was round like a spinning top. But a bit more experience on the contact side so hopefully be able to deal with it better next time and keep the car in a straight line. On reflection a great meeting for me. Thank you everybody and apoligies to anyone i took out.

Win every race? Be happy with a point. All I'm saying is you might aswell run bangers, it'd be more fun. From what I heard in Teamspeak you were all taking it very seriously when danheath was taking you out. Anyway I've made my point.

I don't mind being walled, it's being spun that takes the biscuit. Paul you span me everytime you went past tonight. I'm just putting this out there so people know I'm not dirty. I don't wish to be ganged up on like Dan Heath was, even if he did deserve it, doesn't make it right.

Enjoyed the meeting but people seem to be targeting me. I don't know why, all I'm after is more experience and a few points. Heats I was in point scoring places a few times and people just wiped me out for no reason. I will pull wide. Worst drivers are Dan Heath and paul394. In the GN Wardie and CB took me out, with Wardie doing me twice. Come on guys your supposed to be experienced racers. Why not just run a banger mod on a Wednesday night, that's basically what it turns into!

Would of been happy with a point prior to meeting, came away disappointed with 4. Such is racing!

Very bumper happy meetings last night. Having gone into the stoke meeting feeling fairly confident was left very miffed off after the final. Nearly didn't do the GN but glad I did, another good result for my collection. Starting to become more often aswell which is good.

All in meets are always a love hate thing for me. I love them when I survive and finish. However I normally get walled. I enjoyed it tonight on the whole. Personal highlight was leading the final for a few laps. Sorry to anybody I got in the way of when a lap down. I do try and stay out of the way but with that many cars on track it's difficult. On another note and I know this has been done to death but here goes. Practise servers. Could people please try and respect that some of us need the practise and don't enjoy doing 3 laps before being fired in by someone(more often than not a red roof) or trying to negotiate a hairpin because they have walled each other or had a head on. I know it puts me in a bad light complaining about it but the more practise laps I do the more likely I'll be able to keep my car stable in races and out of trouble.

Just noticed I'm down in heat 3 and heat 4 I definitely did heat 3 though. Well chuffed with my points haul, another great nights racing. Thanks all.
