Bathurst 2 Hours

Great time, whew, outstanding wins by Rafael and Fahn

EDIT: and congratulations to Rafael for setting a new track record for the Fabcar!

A bit of a mixed bag for me - qually put me where I expected and then the plan was to run consistent laps and stay off the walls. Well, that didn't survive the race and while I had some pretty consistent runs at times, lacked concentration at key moments and as a result, thought that I was back in my 'tigger-mobile' again. 4 times to the pits rather than twice and I STILL managed to RUN OUT OF FUEL!!!!! :(

On the upside, my last 4-5 laps catching up to and then chasing Luis L to try and un-lap myself were just terrific fun and spiced up the end of a long run - thanks man, sorry that I couldn't bring it all the way home with you - pingpong moment and then out of fuel.

Big thanks to Rob T and Rafael D who were pushing me to the finish, but the server reset before they could complete their Good Samaritan task. First time THAT has happened to me, came from the last, REALLY unexpected pitstop and I changed the fuel on the fly - obviously working the math in my head is not a strong point!

First 2 hour race, very appreciative of the NAGT drivers who were attentive to not only their own race, but the Fabcar one as well - and that is not only the backmarkers but the leaders as well - thank you.

On to Mexico!

What a great race, outstanding drives by Fahn and Rafael.

Qualifying kind of shocked me, I didn't think i had the pace to qualify where I did (6th). A bit nerve-wracking at the start because I had never done night racing (Sorry Jim) and I couldn't get test sessions to work at night. Thanks to all of the gentleman drivers out there making getting through traffic easy.

PS. Sorry Mick for the tap at the beginning.

Hopefully be able to make it to Mexico, it might not be in the budget lol.

Great fun. My first race in these cars. Unfortunately I started losing concentration and touched a wall breaking the suspension and engine at the same time. Ah well, it was still fun. Traffic was mostly well behaved though it got a little crazy when the Fabcars started lapping each other while also lapping NAGT cars! :)

Congrats Fahn and Chris on great placings for Gone Broke Racing.

Congrats to Rafael and Fahn for their respective wins and the other podium finishers as well. Great driving by all tonight.

Edit: As it turns out, the contact was my fault as I was the twit out of position. My sincerest apologies to the affected driver for my comments!

After that though, had a very fun race, all the drivers were very respectful in their passing and letting other through which is always great to see.

I was really happy with my tire management this race which is something I've been working on after my first outing in Jim's Fabcar/NAGT series. I love the night racing which is something we do regularly at Gone Broke Racing so I felt well prepared for both the track and the conditions.

Glad to hear there will be another night race upcoming in this series. Congrats to my teammates from Gone Broke Racing and we'll see you all in Mexico!

Cheers!

Wow, what a race. I managed to keep the car clean until 2 corners before the finish...when I went straight off into the sand whilst trying to prepare for a last minute splash. Yeah, I shortchanged myself by 1 lap at the second pit stop. Managed to get myself dug out to the far end of the sand...only to run out of fuel as it climbed out onto the grass.

Props to all the GT field. I didn't have any issues getting by anyone. I did dodge a couple bullets as 1 car spun in front of me (missed him), and another car missed their braking point (or got a couple in the grass) going into the left hander after The Chase. Fortunately I saw them coming, and held my car straight, allowing room for them to slide by.

Had a blast, see you all in a couple weeks! :)

Congrats Rafael and Fahn on your Class Wins ;)

After qualifying in front of the field I decided to finish the race and settled a conservative pace and tried to stay ahead Garret. In the first half of the race Paulo and than Andre pushed me.......

Thanks again to all NAGT drivers and lapped cars who have me room asap........very appreciated ;-)

Thanks Jim for organizing this race, I hope to see all you next race :-)

I'm sorry for not turning up!! I fell a sleep around midnight and forgot to set my wake up call.

Hi,

My race was a really nice one. My pace wasn

Muy lindo todo. lastima que no pude largar por el tema de las luces tuve un problema y me descalificaron cosa que yo no sabia como eran las reglas nos vemos la proxima

@Luis - thanks man. I don't improve if I don't stay with it, and I don't stay with it if it's not fun and it is ALWAYS fun racing with you and the rest of the guys here at R2P, no matter how well or poorly the race turns out.
