    Fun racing as always, track did indeed take a little learning but thankfully has few enough real corners that it's not impossible (thanks damage off!).

    Good little battle with 3-4 cars most of the race, Antonis had one of his adventurous moments right in front of me and I lost it, Paul took a lead, then got hampered by someone else coming a cropper and I ruthlessly took advantage (I was on a PB, didn't want to slow!). I backed off so he was clearly in sight again, but his rhythm was shot and I ended up with a healthy lead.

    Then I had my own moment, gap came right back down, but I managed to hold it together to the end. Several eyes-closed moments running through bushes, I'm sure there's a sign there I must have barely missed each time (think Antonis got it though).

    Great cars when you hook them up through corners occasionally, never gets old... ironically...

    Cheers!

    Still close to the best cars in rF2 (with the BT20) and you're right, they never get old.
    Good to see Lazza hasn't got too rusty and pulled off a comfortable win in the end.
    Back to an old favourite this week. Good old Bridgehampton (Autumn). Really do like this place.
    ** Both servers will be running races this week.** See server 2 topic for details.

    Also to Sam, BB couldn't remember which cars you were wanting so let us know and that'll be the following week's event.

    Howdy, I went to join the server and I guess I'm missing content. So, what are we running? It's probably the track. What is "Grand Prix Course"?

    Thanks

    Really love Jarama even tho I had a bad race. Still a fun place.
    This week another one I like, we're off to Goodwood Revival as usual in our trusty F3's.
    Need to have a chat with everyone to see if there are any ideas for getting more on the grid.

    That was an absolute blast. So much close racing. That's why I love these cars. Ok so next week we are off to Hampton Downs (NZ). Short and easy layout to learn but quite tricky to master. Can really lose lots of time with tiny mistakes.

    Unfortunately race was cancelled this week due to grid size.
    Something different this week as we jump into some old V8's for a very short blast around Crystal Palace. These things are beasts so get some laps in.

    Tricky combo but was great fun. Some seriously quick guys for both servers.
    Sticking with these again this week but somewhere slightly easier, Laguna Seca Retro ('68 - '72). Trying to find tracks they may have raced at IRL.
    Next week we will be using cars that aren't in the workshop so will post the link later today.
