perhaps add it to Road Atlanta and call it Petit LeMans. 1hr20min race

by Guest Sun 15 Aug 2010 - 19:36

PLM is already 1h 45mins.

Laguna is the likely candidate.

Quali

GARY

Race: Was fun but a fair few mistakes and a badly set-up car (no set-up at all) ruined the car after a few laps, and sorry for the holding up Gary.

Pics from the first lap

I should have done a lot better that race although 4th isn't bad considering I spun 4 times and got caught in the sticky grass twice. Can't belive I spun it on lap 2 in the first corner. I told myself all through pracitce not to do that Razz

by Ax4x Chaddy Sun 15 Aug 2010 - 23:04

i did that in testing i flew into the 1st turn caught the grass slightly with the front right, and then i was a passenger! the car hit the wall so hard it spin in the air 720!

by **LMR DarthMario** Sun 15 Aug 2010 - 23:08

at least you walked away from it and was able to get another car built in time for the race. Wink

Great pictures Richy! I had fun tonight even though I spent it mostly by myself. I have always hated Silverstone ever since I first raced it and while I have started to enjoy it SLIGHTLY more, I'm just never fast around there. I don't know why but whether its TORA, friends, or random online racing, I'm just never too competitive there. Sad

The two spins didn't help either. But, Motegi and Silverstone are done so I'm looking forward to the rest of the season so I can enjoy and be more competitive at them. Even if all those silly Porsches show up. Smile

i sadly wont be at anymore. but u have a shot at the title now avenger

Glad to have finally made another race meeting. Rolling around Silverstone (albeit often in the guise of a chicane) was good experience. ESM have dessided to give the pit wall engineer another race despite the fact that orders to change gearboxes from Le Mans spec to that required for Silverstone were never carried out. All in all happy to have only had 2 off track excursions and stayed out of the way of those battling for position. Thanks guys!

Great to see you last night Tim. Hope you can make some more meetings in the near future. The next meeting of the LMS is 12th September @ Nurburgring Grand Prix.

by **Richy59** Mon 16 Aug 2010 - 14:10
