Andy, looks like I should be home, so you can move me ito the starting list.

Hello Andy, Sam has just called me, he may have a catastrophic failure of his vid-card. This will ofcourse, rule him out, for the foreseeable.

[Jerome Benard]

Come on guys, we need more drivers to have a big fun :jumping:

[Warren Dawes]

We'll have fun anyway in these Pantera's Jerome. :jumping:

[Andy Marsden]

Warren is right, the Cadwell Park event a few weeks ago was great fun even with the small attendance. Silverstone may be a more open track but with the Panteras it will be interesting for sure.
Quick question - are the Red and Yellow Panteras faster than the Black & White one?

Andy

[Ian Beech]

sorry im unable to make the race tonight.


sorry it's late to let you know!!

[Andy Marsden]

No worries Ian, see you at the next GTL event

Andy

[Hansje van Hees]

Sorry Andy, can't make it...sold my processor for a good price today, so I can't use my Game/system at the moment.
I can buy a new processor next week, a nice E8500 :alla:

The one I write this post with, is a very old AMD system...only use this for Internet.

I am not able to race, for about some weeks I am afraid...SORRY RACE FRIENDS

Have a great time !!!!!!!!!!

Hans ;)

[Andy Marsden]

Dont worry Hans, if the outcome is a better processor than thats fine
Hopefully see you at Bathurst next week, the rest of you: see you online in a mo

Andy

[Jerome Benard]

Thanks all, very nice driving with that car.

See you next.

[Andy Marsden]

Well that was quite an enjoyable event, and the Panteras are a challenge!

QUALIFY
Managed 4th which was ok, disappointing to see that Simon and Theo didnt show up, never mind

RACE
Had a decent start, we where 3 abrest into T1 which would make for a good screenie! Was up to 2nd after Maggots/Becketts until we hit Stowe and Jerome B found his way into my blind spot and we touched at the apex, putting me into a spin (no worries there mate, it was a racing incident ) and down into 4th. Lost it again on T1 and dropped to 5th (and last) where the game decided to classify me as lapped for no apparent reason!
Pitted at the end of Lap 17 but forgot about the limiter as I exited and got a stop/go - yes i'm a muppet!
Stayed last till the end but still enjoyed the race as I managed to hold the Pantera together till the end (poor thing was a bit porly with a dented body, no splitter and damaged suspension after kissing the wall on about Lap 8). Congrats to everybody for doing the same, don't think i've had an online race yet with no retirements!
Overall a fun evening and I hope I get the chance to arrange another GTL event soon.
Thanks for a clean and fun evening guys!

Andy
