Despite being a laggard on the straights, the Ultima's handling is fabulous on the back portion. Practicall flat out over half the course.

Should be able to get into the 1m.01s for the race with corner cutting off ;)

I think once you hop in the Ultima you'll see how well it does in the fast sweepers..

We'll miss you hollydog. You've had some very good drives.. :up:

[johnny shell]

nice lap harv!

looks like it'll be a close race.

[tannat]

1. PiotrB...........57.48s
2. Vuko Snr.......58.34s
3. BobZee ........59.56s
4. harv#1......1m.01.27s
5. J.Shell.......1m.01.33s
6.Tannat.......1m.02.69s


Small field for Brands, with PiotrB again taking pole in his TVR followed by Peter Vuko and RobZee. Fine showing Harvick in the Ultima narrowly outqualifying the Category 1 car of Johnny Shell.

[tannat]

Narrow victory for PiotrB over peter Vuko by just over a second! Robzee trails the leading pair at the checker by 10 seconds to round out the podium. Noteworthy finish by harvick in Category 2 ahead of the Category 1 Corvette of Johnny Shell with Tannat bringing up the rear.

By virtue of his strong finish in this race Harvick has clinched the Category 2 crown :up:



1. PiotrB............TVR.........CT1..10m.40.12s..... .......58.73s
2. Vuko Snr........TVR.........CT1..10m.41.18s............ 58.66s
3. BobZee..........TVR.........CT1..10m.51.67s....... .1m.00.00s
4. harv#1...........Ultima......CT2..11m.04.38s...... ..1m.01.45s
5. J.Shell............Corvette..CT1..11m.14.44s...... ..1m.01.91s
6.Tannat............Ultima......CT2..11m.24.00s... .....1m.03.57s

[tannat]

In the driver's championship PiotrB extends his lead a bit more, though not out of reach for Robzee. With three rounds remaining it looks as if the battle for the championship is down to a 2 horse race....

Congrats to harvick for winning the Category 2 title :up:

As the category 2 championship has been resolved I believe I'll be stepping up to category 1 for the remainder of the season :D

[johnny shell]

picked your weapon yet?

nice run harv! I felt trouble coming!

[tannat]

picked your weapon yet?

nice run harv! I felt trouble coming!

I'll probably try both at each round and see what suits best

In my experience the vette plows like mad, and the TVR has no brakes..

[harvick#1]

picked your weapon yet?

nice run harv! I felt trouble coming!


thanks, I got very lucky with the traffic, caught just about everyone at the right time

[Peter Vuko]

That was close! Well done Piotr! I'm starting to catch BobZee....my aim is to take 2nd place..so I need to win a Rd......

[PiotrB]

Good drive Peter ! You suprised me and you set the fastest lap. Good job.
