Round 8 Rumour Mill & Rant

 

Lets start with D2 ….. Vinda Losers !!!! A one, two and fourth, what a great result for this team, Keith wins it, David gets 3rd on the grid. Now David just has to figure out how to start :) We cant have Keith win to many, did you see the size of his race report?

 

Ok Ill pick on myself, LOL, in first fell off, with 11 to go … What a clutz… <elbee> indeed Troy, pathetic!

 

Adrian did some practice laps???? And now onto the cat…. Enough has been said about the cat… Ok not enough has been said, the cat distracts you, you fall off and then decide to get laid ... The question on everybodys lips…with the cat?

 

Longers went boom, must have been the tow from the almighty Coop on the back strait that made you over rev… I like to think so ;)

 

Oh dear another start line infraction in D1, Someone else needs start line training… Ill be holding lessons every Thursday off race week ;)

 

Col complains of a lack of speed on the back straight in a damaged Cooper, mate that’s it, it’s a Cooper, don’t expect so much…

 

The ol'Ash train mows them down again, or mows his team mate down again. Luke pole, Ash win, fastest lap Ash, most laps led Luke… Where is the protest? Where is the justice? Is this like Prost and Senna,? Or Schekter and Villeneuve? or just that Ash cant pass? Or is Luke blocking? Or who cares :)

 

Luke you need start line tips (He’s slow in a Coop off the line) and finishing tips as  well, maybe we need to give Ash some tips on how to pass and NOT take out your mullet team mate …. Monza next, Luke must be sweating over a drafting duel with his team mate…

Mid Term Report (after Round # 7)

Lots to catch up on, we are half way through the season, 7 races run and won. We have had some outstanding results. And some interesting "incidents"

 

Lets talk about division two first, special mention goes to Greg Longfield who has taken up the challenge of running a BRM for the full season and has five D2 wins and one pole. There have been seven different poles in D2 but Longers has been very consistent and the BRM has proved very reliable. Greg has taken the Monaco and Nurburg medals for Division 2 and just keeps racking up the wins

 

Mike and Joe have also had good wins. Overall the racing in Division two has been close, up the front, and clean with very few incidents. The backmarkers have been great and I would like to congratulate Grant Moles on his 4th place with a qual time of 9:01 and his fastest race lap time of 9:01 he has finished the last 3 events and put in a great effort to increase his GPL times.

 

Division one has featured Ash as the driver to beat, and Luke should be the driver doing the beating, Interestingly enough Ash hasn’t won any of the feature races ie Monaco or Nurby with Rod winning his first medal and Luke being the back to back Nurburgring medal holder.

 

Over all this season has proved that yes you can go out in a Lotus/ fastest car for the track and you will do well, but Jack Colin and Reg and Greg in D2 have shown, you can do well and have a load of fun in a "slower" car.

 

Overall Ash is leading the Overall Championship with Luke a close second, John Hille and Trevor Forster are even closer in 3rd with Jack Rod and Colin all within striking distance for 3rd.

 

The Troy R plate is being lead by John Hille with a gap over Jack Sands in second and Rod and Colin not far behind.

Open Team champions is a no contest this year Automated GPL Mullitia even though they only have two drivers competing they are out in front, James Hunt Mem. are a clear second

Rumour Mill & Rant

So what happened to Paul Wintrip ??? He was hot to trot in Pre Qual,then…nada… I have often said that a lot of aliens on GPL rank…just cant race ;)

 

Marto started out HOT he PB'd in race one…been a bit down hill since then….or has it..4th then a last, then a 5th then a (don’t anticipate this, its not a last ) 4th, now you can anticipate it 3 dnf's, last in D1, a much more consistent effort :)

 

Monaco was warp, disco hell, all it needed was a mirror ball and all would have been made it a better race… Special mention to Ash for Monaco…DNS hurt? Or did you think it was a pre qual race? Rod the rookie takes out a win and asks, "where are all the aliens from last year?" Dude you got a win sshhhhhh ;)

 

Circus moves to Zandy and Ash makes up for his no race show in Monaco with a win pole fastest laps etc.…show off. Reg another disco for Zandy…mate are you sure you paid your Internet bill? Jack gets another podium, this years quiet achiever, after last season your miles in front :) and then Geo pops into the forums with a zen like comment about bread??? Aliens, who knows how their minds work?

 

Spa, time to make comment on Luke. LOL nice shift blame to Ash for your 390kmh hay maker …

 

Then there was the D2 race, where two team mates went head to head the one in front was looking for a bit a dawdle with his "hooverin" team mate behind running defence… Well it was full on all the way to the finish and it took 2 days for my leg to stop feeling sore…

 

Rouen and Dave Rosario, we all thought he would just do every race ever known but he seems to have ended up doing 79 in favour of GPL :( Col in D1 has a moment in the hairpin and everyone wants to stay for the party….. but he recovers and finishes in 2nd. Have to remember that one, slow the field, then pull away :)

 

The Ash train just rolls on…. And over… this is one of the funniest incidents I have ever seen… Luke is winning last lap, last corner he is running a bit short of go juice and what dose his team mate do??? The Ash train runs over the top of Luke and Luke doesn't even finish, he is even in sight of the finish line…round of applause…

 

Silverfish the Ash train is still rolling along, doesn't make pole but beats Luke to the finish .. That must smart Luke, seeing Ash ran the entire race without sound… Rod seems to have made friends with Col and Mike T with Jack…wasn’t a good night for the Sands brothers :(

 

Division 2 a Cooper was seen going in circles, time and time again… at the same corner… at the same corner… Reg had an amazing race…I think he didn’t disco ;)

And this brings us to the Nurburgring… The Ash train derails… and OMG Luke wins a race…why why why did he have to win Nurburgring??? Longers must be getting tired of winning by now, pole and a win… Adrian finds out how tough and long a Nurby race is, he tried to take out 1/2 the field at T1… Rod decides to finish a race and NOT take anyone else out :) Grant Moles finishes Nurburgring …watch out Longers hes aiming for you !!!
