Looking forward to some fun around this very challenging track. Not up to speed at all here, it's proving to be one of those tracks I can't get a handle on.. mainly because of those killer kerbs but it will be a lot fun regardless.

hopefully in this time

The weather is now up and it's Heavy Cloud.

Maybe, more likely out. Sorry guys.

Hey Rich. I'll accept the invite as soon as you send it but probably won't go on track until quali as i'm babysitting my youngest grand daughter (6 months) this weekend and will be getting her fed and off to bed at about practice time. See you all in quali. Have a good race guys.. But not too good

Can i be in for this race?

What a great night of racing that was.
Qualifying was super close and the race was great great as well.
Nova joined late and owned it with niblips again showing what his got and this week I actually managed to hold onto that P3. Racing up and down pack seemed intense even if a lot of it was strategic with fuel and tyres.


Looking forward to Monza in a couple of weeks.

Another great night of racing fun in this series. One of my worst tracks unfortunately, just can never seem to get a handle on it for some reason and the car felt ill balanced around several corners so I never was able to gain much confidence to push. But despite that I still love the track and it tends to produce very good racing. Enjoyed the battle over the last 20 minutes with Webber's, great stuff. I defended hard (but fair i hope) and thought I had done enough when he spun out of turn 2 with a few laps remaining but my fuel concerns and inability to run well around the Carousel allowed him to get past on the last lap. Nice job.

Was surprisingly running in third early on but a little half spin at turn 6 left Hurt nowhere to go as he came round right behind me and the collision damaged both our cars badly leaving us with slow runs back to the pits and dropping us to the back... Sorry buddy. After that it was a case of just making it to the flag and hoping to take advantage of anyone else's problems.

All good fun and looking forward to Monza in a couple of weeks time. Hopefully I'll get some decent practice in for that one, the F1 2017 beta test kind of got in the way this week.

Well done to everyone.. This is a top little series and I hope we can take it forward once its finished.

So much fun despite an early incident. I was worried that i would have enough fuel to make the end because the stop was so early, but it was just enough.
I had a terrible start and lost 2 spot before the first turn. Didn't have the confidence on track to try any passing moves and was considering an early stop to get some clear air and run some clear fast laps to try and pass that way, but then i wound up in the side of Robert (October) at T8 and took too much damage to continue.

Race can be view here if anyone cares to watch it.

When you combine a bunch of fast and fair guys and IndyCar on a track that they run in real life, it's got to be great, and it was. Another sensational race, despite some early troubles and an unfortunate collission in the carousel.

My qualifying -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dq1VUq1IlIo&feature=player_detailpage#t=1097 -- was nothing to write home about, 1:46.936, but we were all so close, I knew it would matter little, same as the real series (BTW, today's Detroit race was fantastic also).

I had a decent start -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dq1VUq1IlIo&feature=player_detailpage#t=2486, -- but it was almost too good, since I got boxed in by the two cars battling up front. But, ohh boy, after that was some of the best racing I have ever had since I started this hobby, and it lasted toe to toe, side by side, for about three whole laps.
Lemarr was P2 and I was P3, with Nova behind me pressing me hard. It was so much fun battling wheel to wheel -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dq1VUq1IlIo&feature=player_detailpage#t=2545 -- extremely close racing.
Then one of the leaders, I think maybe Lamarr, had an off -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dq1VUq1IlIo&feature=player_detailpage#t=2727, -- which set up Nib behind me and Nova in front, and after a few corners, me second. This stretch was also fantastic racing.
And then my only real boneheaded move of the race -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dq1VUq1IlIo&feature=player_detailpage#t=2765. I lost traction out of T8 (I hate that damn turn) and collected nib as I spin. Sorry for that. I had to pit immediately after that, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise, because I didn't sweat the fuel at the end and I saved time by going with one set of softs the whole race.
Towards the end -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dq1VUq1IlIo&feature=player_detailpage#t=5081,

I still had tire left, but Peter seemed to be closing at a steady clip. It would have been close for sure, but he had trouble too apparently. All in all, what great fun. Can't wait for the next one.
(also TV cam at the end, until first pit...which is a great view of the wheel to wheel action -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dq1VUq1IlIo&feature=player_detailpage)
