  1. As we can't really travel at the moment I thought I'd share some pictures of some of the places I've been over the last decade in the hopes that you guys would do the same, the one thing that has changed with covid is the lack of travel, true for others it's much worse so I get that a lot of us have been lucky so far. Pics from Norway, Australia and aushwitz and closer to home Scotland,Wales, IOM and Yorkshire. Hope the link works, it said something about not being able to embed https://www.flickr.com/gp/191699114@N02/k71n3F

  2. Back during Christmas, my brother-in-law told me about The Queen's Gambit. It sounded interesting so I thought I'd give it a shot tonight since I'm working a night shift. Holy shit... I'm in love with it. I've only watched the first episode but wow... If the series is anything as good as the first episode, I'm watching it all for sure. Anyone else watch it? Please, no spoilers!

    GT Sport - FG Races

    I believe it should now and forever be referred to as The NOT MATT! NOT MATT! incident 😆 My thoughts on the races; Race 1 - Blue Moon Bay oval GR3 This was always going to be a tricky one to hold the lead on due the slipstreaming and there basically being no corners to ever pull a large enough lead on. Qualifying was as expected close with it seemingly coming down to a bit of luck of who was getting a tow at the rights parts of the lap without being hindered at others. In the middle of qualifying I managed to time it perfectly, getting a tow from Mike out of turn 1 down to turn 3 then, taking a different line through the final corner, a tow all the way to the finish line too. On the race, as said, this was going to be tricky but Kiwi, Mike and I broke away then proceeded to battle amongst ourselves swapping positions a number of times each lap. It was obvious after a few laps it was going to come down to position on the final lap and through the final corner. Going on the final lap, I deliberately held back across the start/finish line so I could be behind both Mike and Kiwi coming out of Turn 1. Unfortunately Lee caught us up at the point too so I had to slot in behind him but no worries, plenty of time to draft passed. Going in to the last corner, it was a copy of my pole lap, I took a different line so I didn't catch Lee up mid corner but could get a good run out of it and a tow to the line. A mix of not quite being close enough and Lee moving break the tow to Mike and to block me ... bloody blocking cheater mumble mumble mumble not salty 😠😆... I ended up bump drafting Lee across the finish line. I'm not a fan of ovals but it was a fun race and great to see Lee get a win. Race 2 - Interlagos Gr4 A tricky race for me, I'd done a few laps practice to decide which was the fastest car but hadn't managed to do any testing for fuel or tyres. I took a gamble on the fastest car, the Peugeot RCZ and thanks to an off hand comment from Phil about tyres not necessarily making it through the race, I switched to softs, rather than super softs, and managed to get the fastest time in practice. So the decision was made, I was going to qualify and race softs. Qualifying came and went and I managed to stick on pole. The race begin and held the lead without a real challenge from Kiwi though had a worrying moment when I saw I wouldn't have enough fuel but thankfully it was just the game being rubbish at calculating remaining fuel at the beginning of a race. I kept it clean and put in some fast laps to open up the gap over Kiwi then just managed it. The last lap was tricky though due to tyre wear as the softs were ruined and going by comments of others the super softs were even worse. Race 3 - Goodwood Minis What a laugh, Phil set it up to use racing tyres and without tyre wear we all went with Racing Super softs. As it turns out, the means cornering hard will cause the mini to roll over on to 2 wheels which was further exacerbated by the high kerbs round Goodwood. I set the early pace in qualifying then Kiwi got a faster lap but I knew I could go faster if I could keep the Mini on 4 wheels. Then on the penultimate lap, with some tiny steering inputs, I got the pole back. In to the race, similar to race 2, I got away reasonably well but down the long 'straight' Kiwi caught me up but due to sticking a wheel on the grass and almost spinning / spinning it gave me the chance to break away. After that it was just a case of taking it easy and keeping far away from kerbs. Race 4 - Brands Hatch Gr3 As this was a random race at the end with no practice it was always going to play to my strengths of having one of the top amount of experience with this game, tracks and cars. Though it was going to be frustrating for most as Brands Hatch is a tricky circuit especially the rookies going in to it blind. Qualifying went well and though I could have gone faster, the last few laps of qualifying were all ruined by getting penalties but I still managed to get pole so can't complain. On to the race, I think it was Lee who lined up second and got a good start and clearly was going to overtake me round the outside of T1. Not a problem, I'm fast enough to get the lead back over the rest of the race and at the point I got nicely punted by, I think, Kiwi costing me a few more places. I fought back and caught back up to Lee just in time to see him throw it all away at T1 😞 Another bump from Kiwi saw me lose a little more time and me take a BTCC approach to get back passed (well it is Brands Hatch after all). I picked up a 1 second penalty at some point too but after all of this I was right behind Mike going on to the final lap. Knowing I couldn't slow down to get rid of the penalty and keep up with Mike, I decided to go for it and try to open up the gap. Due to a messy Turn 4 for both of us with a bit of contact, I got my penalty time down to 0.003 seconds and managed to take the lead in to turn 5. After that, I nailed all the fast right turns meaning I could easily lift out the last corner to get rid of the last little but of my penalty.
