Pretty fun race for me considering The Glen isn't really a favourite of mine! Started from the pitlane, leading the div Ama race and climbing past the Dfree guys, till I was up in 2nd place. Then 5 laps to go Sid up front blows his enging and im right with him! Had a very fun last few laps, good clean battle for the lead and on the last lap I got close coming out of T3 onto the straight, went up the inside into the loop, got through but put a wheel on the grass at the exit and spun, giving away 2nd to Andy. Only then I noticed that the FP was below 100 so had to really nurse it to the finish lol. Grats to Sid and Andy!

I took a brabham and my race went pretty well Beno had got into front of me and i was holding close to him when he spun out and i wa left Sid passed my i think then i had Andy behind when i made my one little error and ran wide onto the grass which let him through . He would have got passed anyway as he is quicker  than i will ever be lol.

i have the one problem that holds me back some cars and tracks i never get my tyres green , same goes for mods some i get green and the handling is better, some they never move from blue.

Taking the Eagle last night paid out, I managed to improve my GPL Rank by a whole two tenths!
Starting from pole with my usual "mash the throttle and whang it into gear" tactic, off we went. All I had to do was keep it fast and clean.
That's all I had to do.
Going into The Loop, a whole twenty seconds into the race, fast and clean became a distant memory. For some totally unknown reason, as I was going up the hill I developed a keen interest in Pribulda. I couldn't tear my eyes from it. Right up until all I could see was sky. And fence. And assorted bits of scenery where there shouldn't have been assorted bits of scenery.
I did six and a half barrel rolls! Luckily only Daan was in a position to see it, and unless he says anything you'll never know anything abou......D'oh!
Anyway, after that I got back up and leapt back after the rapidly disappearing pack. I managed to overtake Pete and Beno, can't remember overtaking Daan, but I must've, and regained the lead.
All I had to do was keep it fast and cle.....bloody engine blew up.
Did a quick Shift-R and in no time I've got James all over me like an ill fitting suit. Just managed to fend him off, although he got past at the Loop on the last lap, but overcooked it and I was back past him.
Well done all, thanks to James for some good hard, close and clean racing, and hard luck to poor Magnus and his iffy wheel.
