race one.
started well practice was good had sabre in front of me and kept him there, within a second, chances were looking good on me own track.
started the race pretty well little niggle on first lap dropped me back a bit but going good. then the jump started to get to me lap 3-4, just needed to settle down, lap 5 great, lap six came off the jump a little to the left touched the rail and over i went, restarted down by 4 mins got to lap 23 and time ran out.
sorry teamies
race two.
this was a nice track plenty of flow just a couple of bits to perfect, if you took the little jump with the car a little to the left it wouldn't make it the second from last i think this was, i did this during the race dropped down to 22nd but then started putting in some good laps, people were also crashing out hence the 14th i finished with
great start to the season as in admin had it running quite smoothly, keep up the good work chaps ![Cool](images/smiles/icon_cool.gif) |

Race 1
A very good GP track - enjoyed the race from start to finish.
Saw some close racing but to my luck I only made one small
mistake in 25 laps so finished 4th....very happy abt that.
Race 2
That's the kind of track that makes you need to come to the server
for practice 30 min before start of the race.
Had to adjust the angle for the little jump more times during the
25 laps but then....I was probably not the only one to do so
Otherwise I went around in "safe mode" and as people were crashing out
I managed to finish in 6th.
Revo had his probs with his connex but lets see if he cant
finish a track or two in season 9.
I'm sure he is willing to give it a go. |

Race 1: Started off smoothly running in 3rd/4th all the way through nice little fight with bob .. took it easy but made a couple of mistakes allowing iffe through at the end finishing 5th not bad
Race 2: started off smoothly again. What is going on ? never that consistant at the the start of both gps. Anyways started off smoothly again in 3rd this time running nicely nothing really to worry about had miksuu 3 secs behind me and wasnt catching so i didnt want to push it too hard. Reh was close at the beginning but once i got to know the track i kept him at bay, in the end i made a couple of mistakes on the same lap making it easy for reh to come through and keep his place in the dyiing laps no harm in 4th eh?
First track was cool mark makes a nice track
second track could have been a disaster waiting to happen but some how kept the car going for 25 laps nice racing this week guys ![Smile](images/smiles/icon_smile.gif) _________________ some people dream of success others stay awake to acheive it ![Smile](images/smiles/icon_smile.gif) |

Race 1 started badly, continued badly, stayed on the track and eventually leapt up to middle field as usual by the end of the race.
Race 2 started badly, continued badly, got worse, kept it on all four wheels until lap 24 when I landed on two and my sphincter contracted to a size that only dogs would have been able to tell when I was farting, got it across the line for another slap bang in the middle of the field finish. _________________

Race 1 - Really bad + slow start, was hoping for another restart first few laps while I was in the midfield. Slowly clawed my way upto 3rd and was running at a similar pace to Revo before his problems. Me and Jones seemed to be well matched in pace but he made a few more mistakes than me so finished 2nd
Fingers were a bit knackered so I did zero practice between races...
Race 2 - I fell down and went boom _________________ It's not the winning, its the taking apart |

Race 1 - Great track, great race. Was around 10th all the time, fighting first Iffe - whom I havent seen anymore later because of some minor mistakes.
Then later Miksu and ...idk for sure...bonobo I guess approached me from behind, some very close laps til once I saw Reh in my front. Slightly stunned of the Deer's Slowness I crashed and fell back to 12th...managed it tho to be back in 10th after 25 laps. Was a great track to start into the season.
Race 2 - I like this track even better, tho I was kinda confused everytime I made that diagonal jump...some kinda feeling I was there 2 seconds ago everytime I jumped there. The turn after that jump tho was awesome at every single time I drove it - great track Mr.Crash.
Anyhow I couldn't manage to drive through safely and had two major-20-seconds-crashs throwing me back first in 27th in lap 4 and then in 20th position around lap 14. After the first one I put my Hud away, after the second I made it come back...Got 12th in the end nevertheless, I think my last 10 laps were not that much slower than up in 3rd,4th position - if just I hadn't crashed

Race 1: Had a slow start took me some time to get up to a decent pace. Then climbed up to 2nd after Dantski made some mistakes. Then 3 laps to go got bugged before the last jump, got lucky to continue and finished 3rd. Was a really great race.
Race 2: Got away 3rd and saw Dantski stuff it at the jump the way i did in practice. Then revo quit so I was clear second. No chance to get to Sabre. So did what I needed to do. Keep it cool and maintain the gap towards the followers and came in 2nd. Wich is my best result ever in MLGP. _________________ “I was doing fine till mid corner, then I ran out of talent and spun the car.” |
