Mav Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Congratulations to Mike #315 for winning a bruising British Championship race, after dominating the heats to start on pole. Some heats were a bit sparse due to the non arrival of 543, 97 & 7 and the withdrawal of 184 prior to the meeting started, but happily all 8 heats went ahead, with heat 8 being the least amount of drivers being 11. Every driver had the opportunity to race five heats. RESULTS HEAT 1 - 164, 1, 774, 390, 380, 79, 313, 641, 221, 112 // 212, 516, 599 HEAT 2 - 87, 164, 380, 291, 688, 221, 79, 599, 488, 641 // 912, 172, 1 HEAT 3 - 315, 390, 1, 87, 688, 112, 488, 641, 313, 172 // 212, 221, 774, 516, 291 HEAT 4 - 315, 1, 380, 212, 164, 79, 912, 46, 112, 641 // 599, 313, 774, 516 HEAT 5 - 390, 315, 380, 79, 488, 912, 87, 291, 688, 46 // 112, 313, 221, 172 HEAT 6 - 79, 488, 1, 212, 390, 164, 112, 599, 641, 516 // 221, 46, 172, 313 HEAT 7 - 390, 315, 774, 164, 1, 87, 912, 291, 46, 688 // 516, 599, 488 HEAT 8 - 774, 87, 315, 380, 212, 112, 688, 291, 46, 912 // 172 Twenty cars gridded for the British (221 Left for work - sorry it ran late m8 ) 315 - 1 - 390 1 - 2 - 380 164 - 3 - 87 79 - 4 - 774 488 - 5 - 212 688 - 6 - 112 291 - 7 - 912 46 - 8 - GAP(221) 313 - 9 - 599 172 - 10 - 516 641 - 11 I elected to withdraw from the grid to steward the race and join on the back after the go was called. I however forgot to do an extra lap to compensate for the rolling lap and was already 1 lap down when I started racing!!! lol My grid slot would have been 8th row inside with everyone else moving down a place.

davey boy Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Was'nt really expecting much tonight as I dont like tarmac, but for me to get a top 6 in all the races all night was a big achivement for me, espcially the 6th in the final when i was in a few big hits and then involved in that carnage on the 2nd bend. Well done to all winners and well done to mike for winning the British. Thanks for the meeting Mav, well run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 (edited) Enjoyed last night very thoroughly, even if the climax of the evening was short lived for myself amongst others. Following on from this I would like to apologise to Dave who I attempted to punt wide as soon as I got going again but we both went spinning violently, further apologies to Nezza who I put into a parked car in similar fashion to what happened to me apart from it was all my fault, driving far too hard and just couldn't stop. Thought you said you would get a good start Mike lol. Had some good racing throughout the night, agreed with Tosh after though that the track carries some rather different tactics to overtake. With it being not very wide you punt somebody on or get past cleanly however you end up eating fence the next bend as thats the only way you can make a move on a slower driver etc without loosing a major amount of time getting punted on repeatedly every bent between the pair of you. Contradicting the above it was shown between a few of us we can have great close fast paced racing by giving each other the room and respect needed to overtake whilst gaining track position amongst other drivers. Thanks to Mav for running, shame about people deciding to disconnect repeatedly at the beginning hence the start being 15 minutes late?? Cya's next week. Forgot to say, Well done Mike and all other race winners along with whoever top scored for doing so? *Edit continued* what happened to you tomd???? came round and saw you in the wall turn one stopped?

Nezza46 Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 (edited) no problems or complaints from me about that move Lee. I thought it was a cracking move to be honest mate and happens in real life. it is stockcars after all lol and i would have tried to do the same thing if it were the other way round. totally agree with you as well about the passing, it is simply the nature of this track unfortunately, which is why i'm glad to see the back of that meeting. it is probably my most hated and worst track for me. Anyway, wd to all the winners and to Mike for taking the title. apologies from me also, to spikejnr, can't remember which heat it was but i went for a hit on him at the same time he pulled out of my way to let me by, which took me by surprise and the brakes went on to late as a result and i ended up pretty much in the wall with him. Just wanted to let you know that it weren't intentional mate, as i'm sure it came across to you as a follow in. Forgot to add - can someone on admin reload the skin packs to the server please just to make sure of all possibilities? as the servers have been trying to kick me for a couple of weeks now for whatever reason. I have now done a complete re-install, so I cant see how it will be something my end in the future.

Nezza46 Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 (edited) I thought I had Wrighty to be honest. anyway I have completely re-installed the f2 mod now, so I know that it has definately been done this time round. hopefully no more problems in the future. just thought as well Wrighty, it was trying to kick me when i was in my own car, but as soon as I went in a novice it was fine.
