Actually, while everyone else managed to run themselves off the road,
Jan soldered on in a badly damaged car (Damaged by an overly eager
crasher wanted to rejoin the action on the track.) until everyone else
had retired. A whopping 20 laps into the race, he was the only one
left.
Congratulations.

I was pissed. The combination of Piotr's final statements and a couple of
ill-timed clock smashes totally messed up my concentration. Of course, it had
to happen in the run-up to the hairpin...<sigh> I didn't even save my part of
the replay to review...
Jan - send me the newspaper, please.

When driving I don't have time to read any chat... I noticed an exchange,
but didn't read it, what happened?
Jan.

"Pay attention when I'm talking to you boy!" -Foghorn Leghorn.
I had a rather hectic first lap. I got a good start and trusted Roger to go
side by side through that first kink. Unfortunately Roger either didn't
expect me to make a fight of it (gave him only half the track) or misjudged
my position relative to him (there was some warp involved). Our get together
had a knock on effect for other drivers, for which I apologise, but somehow
I scraped through mostly unharmed. Nevertheless, knowing the way I set up my
car it's rather vulnerable to unstability under braking through damage, I
took it easy into Scierie... at which point someone came screaming passed.
This same person then shot across the apex of the bend across the track
again and off the other side. I proceded to drive the turn as normal and was
then struck by this car again... whether he was trying to recover or just
bounced back, I don't know, but this time I copped some real damage and I
was all over the place when I used the center pedal. Apart from coming
unstuck on several occasions, I managed to keep a rythm which was about 1
sec per lap slower than Asbjorn (the class of the field again), untill he
finally ended his run through a concentration lapse.
At only just over Int/Pro "Long" distance we can hardly call this a GP
"win". Think we should have a re-run of this one.
Jan.

"Pay attention when I'm talking to you boy!" -Foghorn Leghorn.
Too bad about the date mix-up on the Rouen race... you could have kept
Asbjorn honest and on his toes, allowing us to get more laps in.
Jan.

"Pay attention when I'm talking to you boy!" -Foghorn Leghorn.
I'm not sure about the class of the field thing, M Peters qualified a
second faster than me, and he ran a sec a lap faster than me in the
first three laps, then he got bored or blew up, I don't know. He was
sitting by the side of the road as I passed him. After that I was on
my own for most of the race. Passed one backmarker and braked a bit
too late after the long straight once. Thought; hey this seems to go
ok, 1/3 of the race gone and I'm way ahead, but this is where the hard
part (keeping concentration) starts, and promptly upshifted instead of
braked for T2. Tried to save it, but ended up in the trees and lost
the left rear.
Hmm. Winning after 1/3 of the distance is called outclassing, not
"hardly a win." And as Eldred has said that he hates the track with a
passion, I'm not sure he'll agree to a rerun.
