We had more than a few guys showing off their new "school clothes" in preparation for the start of Season 3 on Sunday. I have to admit that nothing gets me more in the mood for a new season than a host of new paint jobs.

Good racing tonight. Some intense fighting in first lap. To add to Tony's note: PLEASE announce or at least look around when pitting out. Other cars are coming down at speed in that section.

Sorry to Tony J on my rejoin. Completely unintentional... I spun my tires to rotate the car as I was almost against the wall and it shot me out onto the track. Again, my fault... glad it didn't ruin your race.

Glen S, sorry about the first lap after the hairpin, tried to get on the radio to call out my slow down but hit the wrong button on my wheel before it was too late. Felt real bad about it the whole race sorry man!

While I missed out on the photo opp (f you fraps), I decided that I was going to show off some drifting skills while racing. Totally unintentional, but it was super awesome.
Great race from my end, just needed to be a bit more, together for the whole race and get some podiums.

Glen S, sorry about the first lap after the hairpin, tried to get on the radio to call out my slow down but hit the wrong button on my wheel before it was too late. Felt real bad about it the whole race sorry man! No problem at all. Just bad timing. I pulled out to overtake just as you moved over and lifted to let me go. I panicked and wrecked myself, just glad I had a bright orange SimAbiility car that everyone was able to see and miss as I did 360's down the straight! lol. At least now I understand why I closed on you so fast, so thanks for mentioning it. That fist lap was insane. I was just thinking, wow, I make it, all good now, then smack! That'll teach me to not relax. See you guys next week. Great turnout.

Windell got taken out by a lap traffic car spearing 90% onto the track after an off. Shame to see that happen.
Super pumped to see the large number of attendees. The battles in the race were very intense. And nearly constant.

I very much enjoyed my first race in this league. Good to see across the board that, despite that this car is twitchy like crazy, many drivers are not afraid to go through the chicanes side by side which makes for interesting battles. Martin, I don't know where you got that speed in the last few laps but you certainly deserved the victory . This was definitely not the easiest track to race these cars on but next week should be a challenge as well, at Oulton Park - International. Once again there will be plenty of chicanes and I think the track is pretty hard to pass on.

Val, that was Davey, one of our newer drivers. Accidents happen, it's just first race

maybe you will get a pm from someone explaining everything they think you did wrong.

maybe you will get a pm from someone explaining everything they think you did wrong. Only if that somebody completely misrepresents an on-track incident therefore causing a third party to get involved to try to show the alleging driver the error of their ways.
