Too bad, sounds like you really had the pace today but not the luck that sometimes (especially in South City) is needed.
Thx for the little report.

Unlucky Gavin, I was kinda watching (lfsworld, progress box) around lap 20 for a bit and saw you overtake someone then began dropping down the list.

my hat comes off to you tho, a difficult car, around the bumpy twisty city

theres always next race

SD.

Event 3 was two races of 12 laps each on Thursday night, at Fern Bay Gold reverse.

That was with version X, racing with Patch Y next time. Hope I still love the Raceabout with the new physics.

Event 4 - 20 laps at Aston National Reverse

My Raceabout was already down a second on the FZ50s on this track, yet I also carried 23kg success ballast for being 5th in the championship. So qualifying 13th wasn’t so bad.

I got away well from the line, as did Kid222 ahead of me, and we caught up lococost to go 3 wide into T1. I was on the outside and taking care, but niall09 came in too hot from behind and spun lococost. I was then following a gang of FZ50s (is that the collective name?) and there was no point blocking them on the straight.

Lap 2 and approaching the half way chicane I came upon [GR]Evolution going slower into the corner than I expected, I am sorry to say I hit him. Then niall09 came between us and hit [GR]Evolution as well which spun him round. Feeling responsible for initiating this I waited up until [GR]Evolution had passed me again which unfortunately meant dropping 10 places as he recovered. Niall09 carried on.

Now I was 3rd from last and had to battle through the field again. Some made grassy detours and I passed others, it was proving fun. By lap 6 I had reached 3 squabbling FZ50s and passed them, followed by swapping positions with Bean0 for several laps which probably cost us both time. I would pass on the corners, he would pass on the straights, both compromised. Sorry to him for bumping him up the bum approaching the chicane again on lap 7. I should have accounted for the longer braking distance of the FZ50 there. Tobsen00 had caught us as well.

A couple more drivers decided to build sand castles and I was up to 10th. By lap 11 I think some FZ50s were struggling with their tyres. Mine however were ideal, staying at optimum 70ºC. Throughout the week I had actually tweaked something better from my starting setup for once!
By lap 15 I was up to 9th and feeling pretty pleased with myself to have managed that against so many FZ50s. [GR]Evolution had dropped down due to other incidents but I noticed he was now leading the pack behind and catching. I put in some consistent laps with the aim of holding on, this was 'serious racing' time.

On the last lap I had the most awful thing happen to me in all my simracing... I ran out of fuel!
It was dreadful watching each car pass me. After finishing [GR]Evolution gave me a push for a consolatory 20th place, cheers.

Ups and downs for you.. 

This one was for sure, a down trip for you..    But it seems that you had a lot of fun.. 

Its here Bernd

SD.

Just finished watching it.

Damn one very cool looking league. Definently a lot of fun had by all.

Keeping your tyres just right or drivable for that period of time takes concentration and determination.  I'm sure one of these races it will pay off again for you Gav, keep it up you doing a great job.
