Cheers for some good close racing last night guys!

Can't wait to see what you've "rolled out" for the Apex GP this sunday!




(did ya see what I did there..?!! )

And special thanks to James for not only giving me vital set up tips for my current car, but also to show me how my 'old' car could and should have been driven!!!!

Just goes to show, we can all spend £100's on cars and electrics, but if you can't drive, you can't drive!

Nothing too drastic, enlarge a section of track to incorporate the steps down and the lumps. Needed to make it more flowing and a longer lap time. Thinks we've added 2 or 3 seconds at least.

So James will be back to doing 20 second laps!

Dudders,
Are you saying I should give up..? (because I clearly can't drive it as well as James can!!)..

But I have some fun out there and enjoy the clean racing with others!

And new track extension sounds good...

I think it should be more extreme than you just giving up. I'd personally like to see you banished to another European country by mid October, ah well, we can live in hope?!

On a serious note, racing should be fun and filled with banter. If it isn't something's wrong. If you don't enjoy it, that's the time to take a break.... Unlucky with your BQ last night. Will upload results shortly.

Great nights racing last night, even at the lower end of the order. Will the results be going online again like the previous 2 weeks?

Your wish will come true, but prob a bit earlier... It'll be the first of Oct when I'm 'banished'

As for last night, I'm actually quite pleased... After an unfortunate start with loose motor screws and nearly lunching 2 RW spurs in an evening (!), I (with a lot of help!) managed to unlock some more speed out of the TM2 and was improving my laptimes..

A few 'silly' crashes meant I was a whisker off a 15 lapper on a few heats, and the B final was fun, after the (typical, for me) 1st/2nd corner crash, I managed to pull back thru' the field to chase down and overtake Chris, only to do another silly crash on my last full lap and to lose the race by a few seconds...

I know I'm knocking on the door of a 'regular' A final place now (even if itis at the bottom of it!)..

Looking forward to the GP on sunday...

(and thanks for the results being uploaded soon too!)
