    ahhh... it was sweet while it lasted

    how long was I atop the leader board? 27 minutes?

    hopefully I'll be competitive in the race with JB at least

    I'm going to take part in my first V8 race this weekend!

    I normally prefer DTM, but j.shell has persuaded me to give this a go.

    Quali times later this evening or tomorrow morning.

    you really gotta manhandle the V8 cars around a lot more. they remind me of nascars here in the states, where as DTM cars are more like F1 cars.

    or RI... I almost forgot about RI!

    wow... that'll give us 6 whole cars

    then if we could only get a couple of you to run the DTM race we'll have two nice healthy series again

    Yeah - if we do V8 by the 10th July, then all of you can come and do the reborn DTM.

    j.shell - shall we leave qualifying for the DTM open until about the 15th July as everyone inc. us will be busy with the V8s until then? Also give more people a chance to sign up.

    Are you trying to get me drunk before the race?

    wow! busted my ASS to try to get a respectable time here... and I finally did!

    it all came down to being sure to brake early enough to be able to power THROUGH the corners... and not being scared to let the tail hang out just a bit.

    not enough to scrub off any time... but just a bit.

    Qualifying Update:

    1.J.Brown.......1.24.88
    2.wilson_fan..1m.25.21
    3.Vuko Snr.....1m.25.28
    4.J.Shell.........1m.25.63
