This was good fun, gents.  Shame that I could not sort out my braking into that damn corner in the 2nd race.  I think I've repeatedly given it too much throttle under braking (I need a little to make sure the fronts don't just lock up dead).  The weird thing is that it only happened on that single corner.
may have been sabotage, a little oil on the track?
certainly looked silly parked between the parking sign and the barriers, looked as if you had a prime spectating spot.

It was fun, I was surprised how relaxed I was after having the keyboard issues picking up a 3rd. Race 2 I changed my setup to yours BIrd and had the same trouble at the odd corner, understeering into the odd barrier. 
Two high points beside a third place: Wally's leap into the moat and my avoidance of Fabbi!

Imp is chipping away now, check the results http://54.153.131.224:8080/championship . they have been updated.  And pleasing to see yourself Bird and GW back in the mix.

I didn't understeer - I lost the rear (locked it up)

Was a fun nights racing, and on a surprisingly excellent track.

Race 1 hit the wall a few times too many, Race 2 much better 2nd and reasonably close to 1st and 3rd.

Had so much fun in race one battling against Bird. So close at the end but happy I could compete against someone as fast.

Race two was a bit frustrating. An unfortunate racing incident with Bird meant I was playing catch up. However, just started to make more and mistakes rather than just driving smooth. Probably still developing my race craft over longer periods :-[. Glad Bruce managed to avoid me but GW sure couldn't dodge one of my mistakes. Sorry about that.

All up it was a great night and that track, while tricky, is a fun one to drive.

Bird I hope you took my karma crack as a joke because there was no malice intended.  :D

Sorry, I've missed it completely.  Feel free to tell it again! ;)
