Birmingham SuperCup

Grats winners and rest of us common people. :)

Yeah! Finally managed to finish a race at last. No lost host, and no game crash.

My start was poor, and I ended up punting someone in turn 1. Please accept my apologies for that.

After my drive thru, I was 19th and last, but enjoyed a steady drive through without too many mistakes, and finished in the top 10 overall, only being lapped once, believe me, I am satisfied with the result. I look forward to the next one with renewed excitement.

Well done podium! CJ puts in stonking laps ... again ...
Nothing to report, no problems this time with race strategy, no bumps, no tyre-walls, no damage, and no overheating. By my standards, went like clockwork. Very chuffed with 5th!
Congrats all, and thanx to everyone who let me by, cannot say I had one problem. Except maybe for those 4 guys in frunna me ;-)
Well done Ant, glad to hear it went smooth this time. Makes a big difference.

Pretty decent.

I joined 5min before qualify and I knew something would have to go wrong. Got a CTD mid qual and managed to have the time for 2 more fly laps or so when I joined back but I clashed with Pete on T1 and that ruined my chances of improving as I already was slow on lap before. Started 8th...

Got one of the best starts I remember going from 8th to 4th! Then it was all about trying to have a few laps as quick as Claus' and I didn't do too bad. I was about 6 seconds behind mid race, but I took too much fuel and CJ was then 12 seconds ahead of me. The gap didn't change alot in 2nd stint which prooves I did pretty well, maybe I would be very close to him if I started 2nd(maybe 1st).

So, it was an entertaining race for me and those 45min were gone so quickly.

Grats CJ and GD!

Grats to OTHR for great achievements. And to others as well.
Wasn't able to join the race, not even to unregister, came home to late - a few minutes, but enough. I trust you had a good race. Cya next.

Tom Ostry

I went really whacky for this one and picked Morgan for a no-stop race. Fuel never was a problem but tire wear made me really slow as the race went on... and Morgan is a slow car in G2 anyway.

From the beginning I knew I had no chance against Claus' pace, I was just targeting a podium finish. A spin on lap 12 hurt me enough to lose any chance of getting p3.

Pleased to qualify third. Started with full tank and was happy with my pace in 1st stint, pitted at half way but when i stopped i couldnt shut the engine down. Lost an age (75 sec stationary). Worked my way back up to 8th and on last lap i caught and passed Pete and Garret to finish 6th.

Thanks to G3 for making lapping easy

Garret and Pete raced in G3 class. I'm pointing this out just because people in general should realize details of multiclass racing namely to understand who they actually race against.

Well the race was a lot of fun. AND while preparing for the race I thought I went prety fast, thanks for proving me wrong guys :-).
At the end I had a good fight with Brian Fairley. In the last lap we even overtook 2 cars for P6 and P7 while I was staying on Brain's heels. It was close. Birmingham is strange and challenging! Tomorrow I get another change with the GT's at Birmingham, I will know the track a bit better by then.

Big hand for the winner!

Good start altho not much diff from starting 1st or 2nd with those grid positions at that track heh
Pushed hard in start with the heavy car and could build a fairly good gap, which started to fluctuate abit when hitting lapped traffic. Tires took a real beating since pushed maybe a bit too much so pitted a lap after the first warning.
Had to do a few overtakings after the stop to get back into the lead, but overall car was easier in 2nd stint not being so heavy and could even run a bit faster without having to push as hard. G3 cars were very nice to give room, thought maybe abit too nice sometimes.
