I made a reasonable start apart from correcting a slide and was gaining on you on the way to Curva Grande. I was wondering whether to have a stab, but thought better of it and tucked in behind. I find the best way to start is to spin up the wheels a little to get the revs up.

I held on quite well until 4 laps from the end where I came up on rd at Ascari and just lost it. These things happen though and it didn't affect my position.

My goal for the race was to finish within sight of the two speed demons and I was well on track (excuse the pun) to do that so I'm happy..

If anyone wants to flex their literary muscles and have a go at a race report, let me know!

I'll see if I can throw together a few pics.

Actually I'm thinking as I type here, but if anyone wants to submit any pictures we could have a gallery of each race.

I was really surprised with my pace, i didn't expect that 2 weeks of not playing would do so much in terms of lap times...
My best qualification time was at least 5 seconds off my PB!

**Aysedasi** · 15 Jan 2003, 16:40 (Ref:475189)

Well I've got three initial screenies for you (larger copies available!).

Firstly, Tony outdrags me at the start....

**Aysedasi** · 15 Jan 2003, 16:42 (Ref:475192)

Secondly, here is Spudgun on the way to Ascari, probably not realising he was driving my Gold Leaf Lotus, with my web site sponsorship on the side! (Note the incorrect number 6 (he was actually number 4) - down to my incorrect editing of the mip!)

He is also wearing my "custom" helmet as well!

**Aysedasi** · 15 Jan 2003, 16:42 (Ref:475193)

And thirdly (sorry Tony), Tony's view of the moment which decided the race.....

Damon · 15 Jan 2003, 16:43 (Ref:475194)

woh! what lotus is that!!

**Aysedasi** · 15 Jan 2003, 16:46 (Ref:475201)

Its by someone called Micha. I can't remember now where I got it. Obviously, the green and yellow car is the standard one, while the Gold Leaf car is (I think) strictly speaking inaccurate, as the sponsorship started in 1968. But it looks so good I had to have it. As and when the new GPLEA Lotus is released, I shall probably use that, but in my view, this car is much better than the current offering from GPLEA.

**Spudgun** · 15 Jan 2003, 16:47 (Ref:475203)

Ayse,

Where can I get that version of the Lotus???

It is beautiful!!

**Aysedasi** · 15 Jan 2003, 16:47 (Ref:475206)

The Gold Leaf car has my "AYSE" on it, plus a very small copy of my website logo.

I'll try and find the location for you, Spud. Watch this space. If I find it, I'll post the URL here.

**Aysedasi** · 15 Jan 2003, 16:53 (Ref:475220)

OK. Here it is.

For the standard green and yellow version of Micha's Lotus, go to:-

http://gplpp.com

Go to:-

Cars/Complete Cars/Lotus/Micha's Lotus 49

Once you click on the "Micha's Lotus 49" it is a direct download link to the zip.

I'll now go and try and find the source for the Gold Leaf add-on.

**Aysedasi** · 15 Jan 2003, 17:00 (Ref:475241)

Try "Treasure Chest" here

http://www.dixierunners.speedgeezers.com/

I think the GL Lotus is here, and there may even be an updated version of Micha's original car as well.

Damon · 15 Jan 2003, 17:03 (Ref:475246)

great stuff, cheers Aysedasi!!

Tony_Simpson · 15 Jan 2003, 18:23 (Ref:475384)

nice pics btw, (all but one, :/ )

What happened is the wiring lost electrical connection for a brief second and spiked, so that it put full left lock on. This meant that I had no time to correct it, (notice my engine revs). Try and spin in that same spot and see how hard it is to do. I had a small spike on lap 4/5 in the middle of parabolica, which actually put full right lock on, which actually helped.

Any other comments about the race or league, please direct them to me or Spudgun and we will try and sort them out.

Any the most important thing is that everybody had fun in the race.

Number Juan · 15 Jan 2003, 19:06 (Ref:475434)

sorry i wasnt there, i was all ready to race then someone in our table tennis team pulled out about 3 hours before we were due to play. i had to play - and therefore couldnt participate in the league.

hope to be there next week...variable permitting.

Damon · 15 Jan 2003, 20:28 (Ref:475516)

starting to get to grips with the glen so I should be able to turn up and get my arse kicked

.

**Spudgun** · 15 Jan 2003, 21:27 (Ref:475584)

Cheers Ayse!

I look forward to a gorgeous looking Lotus!

Damon · 15 Jan 2003, 21:33 (Ref:475590)

why do I have ferrari helmet on when using the new lotus?

Not to worry NJ, I got an extra point because of it!

But seriously, we're all looking forward to you attending the USA GP at the 'Glen.

We can all go for a T-bone afterwards.

Number Juan · 15 Jan 2003, 21:48 (Ref:475620)

hehehe, im lookin forward to it as well - looking at Ayse's times at the Glen, i think he's gonna walk away with that one, but Spuddie - i think of you as my closest rival...

p.s - good times at Monza. 1m29.2 is NOT bad!

**Spudgun** · 15 Jan 2003, 21:57 (Ref:475631)

NJ,

What name are you registered under on GPLRank?

I can't find you. I need to check out the competition!

Number Juan · 15 Jan 2003, 22:20 (Ref:475663)

check: "who calls me buddy?"...unfortunately, it wouldnt be the best idea to give out my username for GPLRank here, its a bit sensitive

Tony_Simpson · 15 Jan 2003, 22:25 (Ref:475670)

Does not matter your lap times, as long as you are sensible and not cause accidents, you learn so much online racing.

As for lap times for Glen in the ferrari aim for 1min06 and under for the ultimate pace, or so,

Damon · 15 Jan 2003, 22:36 (Ref:475688)

about 1.5secs to find then
