I'll do some laps at pro-simulations difficultis, and my best time was 44.56s. I must break at 1st and last corner, but this car have fantastic grip even in pro-sim!

44.56s at pro-sim, without useing boost.
I have times from myself Alpha Fan, Neil Adams, Craig Nayler and Foxystoat so far.
Remeber deadline is this Friday at 20:00 GMT
I got in the 44's with pro-simulation. So why am I so much slower than you without it on? :mad:Quote:

That's a real shame Jon. :( Oh well looks like England's hopes rest in my hands now.
ran my race last night. for sure had to be conservative to make sure I finished the race with no penalities. I could have averaged about 1/2 a second a lap faster had I really pushed myself, but in practice that just lead to too many incidents.
didn't quite meet the goal RR set for me, but I was close! oh so close!
quite enjoyed my run at this circuit. feeling good about my pace, left feeling like I could have gotten a little more out of the race though. but my sponsors seem to be happy at the moment so that's the important thing :D
i should be somewhere near the back in this one...
;)
you sound like me last year in the British GT series JB. I started off strong and that got my hopes up, then when I started to faulter a bit 'my sponsors' got discouraged & dropped out.
now we're back just having fun and learning how to be a better driver and learning all these interesting new circuits.. and every once in a while I find a circuit I like and I even post a decent lap or two to have something to chear about!
I'm still the only driver to have broken the 16 min barrier so far but I bet the likes of Sloma, Muz and the Vukoes will be right there. I'm starting to feel confident for a good result.
Times from BobZee. :up:
The Rd at Barbagallo is just about over. The final top 6 grid positions being:
1.A.Sloma 39.44s 2.S.Vuko 39.54s 3.P.Vuko 39.69s 4.Muz 40.03s 5.BobZee 40.04s 6.J.Shell 40.21s.
Another pole to the Pole, Sloma - well done again!!
Young Vuko showed tremendous speed in the race to just beat his dad. The father & son combination hoping for podium places.
Just waiting for Muz to post his times then I'll post the results. Thanks Vuko for the excellent coverage of the practice session. :up:
Just checked Muz's profile and it appears he hasn't been on since Jan 19th. I have sent him a PM but I have a feeling he might be away. :(
OK bored of waiting so here's the race report.
Race Report:
Some bad news before this round. Jon Brown's funding had run out and is unable to continue in the series. This is a real shame and yet another example of talent wasted due to lack of money. :(
Peter Vuko's son Steven has joined the series today, it is unone whenever he will run the rest of the series but rumour has it he's even faster than his father.
So 12 cars line up today, slight improvement on the last round. Pole, Adam Sloma lines up on his second pole postion in two races with a time of 39.44 with Steven Vuko alongside. Next is Peter Vuko and Muz then BobZee, Johnny Shell, RaikkonenRules, Real Illusions, Neil Adams, Alfa Fan, Foxystoat and Craig Nayler brings up the rear.
And it's go, disaster for our championship leader, Muz he has stalled on the grid. Steven Vuko has taken the lead from Sloma with Peter Vuko just behind, RaikkonenRules has lept up to fourth with BobZee and Shell just behind. Real Illusions and Adams are next followed by Foxystoat, Alfa Fan and Nayler. Muz has manged to rejoin but three corners later he pulls off onto the side of the track. A frustrating day for the series leader.
Lap 3 and Vuko Snr. passes Sloma for 2nd. Vuko Jr. has been unable to build up a lead and his father, Sloma, RR and BobZee are stuck to him like bogeys.
Lap 4 RR passes Sloma for 3rd, the Pole slightly struggling in the early stages. A lap later Vuko Snr. passes his son for the lead not before pushing him onto the grass. Steven drops to 5th but imediately repasses BobZee.
Lap 7 The leading group have caught the tailenders. Unfortunately Peter Vuko gets blocked by the dicing Alfa Fan, Craig Nayler and Foxystoat and is passed by RR, the young Brit noe enjoying his first laps in the lead.
Lap 9 Sloma passes Vuko Snr. for second. Vuko Jr. runs in fourth. BobZee has slightly dropped off from the leading group.
Lap 14 Steven Vuko passes his father for third place. Sloma is stuck to the back of RR as they catch more backmarkers. Neil Adams is waiting for the leaders to go past but unfortunately gets stuck between RR and Sloma, Sloma is now alongside RR on the outside. RR shoves Sloma onto the grass but Sloma somehow keeps control and passes RR on the grass! :eek: What phenominal talent this guy is.
Final Lap Sloma hasn't managed to drop RR or Steven Vuko but Vuko Snr. has dropped slightly back. the leaders come across thev finish line and it's Sloma who takes the win in only his second ever race. RR finshes second with a very respectable drive just ahead of Vuko Jr. Vuko Snr. is fourth just a couple of seconds back with BobZee not too far behind. Johnny Shell is the only other car on the lead lap in 6th.
Full Results and standings coming soon. :)

Well I'm pround to say I've managed to beat both Vuko's on home turf. Congrats to Sloma for his first win :up:
Muz now only has a 5 point lead over Peter Vuko and Sloma. I'm just 8 points off in 4th. :D
wow. what a race!!!!
glad I've finished on the lead lap every race so far. I'll keep that as my goal for this series :D
congradulations on the great run kimi fan (I can't ever remember how to spell Kimi's last name, that's why I always call you that) but anyway great run.
let's hope Muz gets his issues sorted out.
and what about those newcomers Adam and Vuko jr????? wow
oh yeah and you got me listed as england but I'm USA. your run should put england into second in the nations cup with the US holding onto third hopefully.
ohh... in the nations cup, didn't think about poland coming on so strong! that country is really making a mark in open wheel racing lately....
Sorry bout that Johnny I may have wrote England but I still added your points to the USA total. ;) Hope you enjoyed the race. :)
hell yeah I had a ball. I qualified way better than I usually do, and finishing on the very tail end of the lead lap is GOOD for me. I needed the confidence boost after finishing last or 2nd to last in EIGHT out of the last NINE rounds of the Clio Cup!
I've already loaded up the trailer, hit the road, and turned my first practice laps at Circuit Park Zandvoort, with a fast lap of 1:19.02, good enough for 20th on the codies HoF. I see Adam has already turned some blistering laps here!
Pretty happy with the result, though some fine tuning still needed for the BZR car. The team is feverishly packing up the car for the long haul to Europe for the next 8 races. Better bring along plenty of Vegemite !!
Could have sworn I spotted MUZ hanging around the back of the garage - he must be trying to scavenge a replacement for his blown engine ;) .
See you all at Zandvoort !
Yes, yes, yes ;)
Another great report RaikkonenRules (maybe I change my name to KubicaRules or RobertFan :D ).
What a great race! Only 7 secs separating the top 5 over 24 laps - thats great stuff!! Well done Adam on your win - well deserved. My son did very well on his comeback drive - maybe I should stop giving him my set ups!!! A great effort by BobZee & what about R/R - he drives these cars very well! I had very good speed but I think this one came down to who could get through traffic the best. I could have killed some of those slower cars coming into the last corner - they slowed you down a lot! Roll on next Rd - this is a good series.
This time I dont focus on the best lap time like it was at Oran Park. This time my best lap time was made without boost used. I use boost on the traffic lap. Last 5 lap I drove werry carefully (last corner) and prabably lost a 1 or 2 seconds but finally reach the finish.
I hope to see you all (Muz too) at Zandvoort.
Sorry guys, with heaps of visitors and work starting back I havn't seen the playstation or computer for awhile. Will try for Zan!!
