Half the time its your lot being as bad as me.....and u no it
I dont think its blame webbo day. You was seen to deliberatly hit people. You even admit it yourself, by saying you gave out nudges you was given.
The nudges you were given were probably accidental, and by you then nudging them back have got yourself a bad name.
I dont want to see anyone get banned from racing with us, its a fun nights racing, and unless you have other groups you race with, you will not get a decent big race with decent people.
However, if people are going to deliberatly nudge each other, i cannot see the point in having them play, as it spoils it.
I think you probably realise your mistakes, take it on board, and dont go out of your way to nudge people, and enjoy the racing every week

Sorry I missed this lads, had to take the house appart to lay audio cable before we had our skirting boards nailed back on.
Sounds like an interesting race. I was doing consistant 1.53's, so not sure how i would have faired!
I for one vote to keep the damage in!

are you Xhale something? Yes...
i lapped you but you'd cought me back up to unlap I think when I had damage.
Pitted about 6 times or so... never for tyres... and onlu when the car was goosed!
I did about 8 laps in total with punctures on two tyres, only when i got to 3 did it start getting a bit wild

im not going to remove the damage or put it on light, either learn to drive consistantly and cleanly or dont race.
I dont want to hear its too hard with a pad, dave manages perfectly fine with a pad and can put up some good times.
I know many of us like to race with heavy damage on because it does add to the tension of racing, it also makes you drive more carefully as you dont want to get damaged and potentially loose a place.
there is a big point in carrying on in these races as the top 6 or so people are getting 10's of thousands in money and exp.

Honestly if you just practice the track, try to be smooth and work out the racing line you will be fine.
Sometimes you need to go slower to be faster, there is no point in steaming into a corner, missing the apex and getting a shit exit because it will slow you down through the next straight.
Im sure people will be racing on that track in the week so you could get some practice in with other people.
Other than that make sure you have the car set up to suit you. Chris posted a set up a few pages back, mine is similar but we obviously have different driving styles; i like a bit of oversteer so i modified my set up to behave like that.
