GOOD LUCK ALL

What's up guys

I assume my penalty means 20 seconds added to my final race time ?

Does the penalty apply to race 1 or both races ?

Only to race 1. It will be added to your final time in race one, so you gonna have to drive like hell.

Quite an up and down evening......

Race 1
With times being so close for qualifying, I knew we would be a tight bunch for the first lap or so. Heading into turn one, I had to laugh (Sorry guys) as all the front runners followed each other wide and off the track. I slipped into second place and drove like hell.
Denis was the driver to catch me and once he went past I held on to 3rd until my pit on lap 12. As I rejoined, Christo was on top of me and flew past 2 corners later. Anyway, managed to keep up the pace and finished a really great 4th. For me, that's pretty good I think.

Race 2

Had issues and did not finish the race.

Thank you to the drivers that showed up. The standard of driving was really good and well done to a great drive from Denis and Gus.
Hope to see you next week.

What a race meeting! One of those tracks you shake your head in laughter about the first corner lol.

Qualifying went well for both heats for me, with the second one having Ryan get pretty close.

Race 1: An excellent get away, with Migs in close quarters on my left i though I'd just simply take the tighter more defensive line into turn 1...well i think the whole field saw how that turned out hahaha. Seemed i had no front grip on that line on cold tires. I tried that line coming out of the pits a few times yet in race start time it never worked, but had a good chuckle while driving seeing so many guys follow my lead! Thankfully with the track grip changed in the gravel it was not a race ending event rather just a funny point of the race. Sorry for leading you all a stray lol. So after that it was a fun race coming back and a exciting few passes and good to be racing Kevin for position too well done on a excellent race 1 that sure was a good race!

Race 2 was a bit more to plan but also a bit less exciting. Got the perfect start and managed to get turn 1 sorted, but in my mirrors i saw Ryan did my race 1 trick. After that i had Christo behind me i think so put my head down and slowly open up the gap to get the double!

Well done to all who could make it, and a excellent 4th for Kevin in race 1. Well done to the podium guys Gustav and Christo. Really glad Gustav could make the event...but real sorry Eugene had issues last night sorry man!

Hopefully see more of the guys the next meeting! Thanks for hosting this even Shadow Racing was a lot of fun, race 1 i enjoyed  a lot! See you all at the next one!

Well done to Denis for both wins.
Race1:
I was lucky in race 1 because of the first corner incident. Denis caught me lap by lap and I did not try to defend the lead because his pace was far superior to mine.
Race2:
Had nice battle with Christo after pitstop, but made a stupid mistake.
Hopefully next time I will be better prepared. For this event my goal was to put my car on the starting grid and to finish:)
