Well that was a shame. The joys of sharing accommodation bared fruit once again as my internet latency was simply appaling throughout qualifying. Then to put me out of me misery, it conked out all together just before the start, putting me out of the race. Bloody shame that, as I was looking forward to having slipstreaming battles throughout this race. Hope you all had a good one, and belated birthday wishes to Clive .

Stupid Lola reliability... Purposely made a safe setup for the T77 (6,500rpm @ 200mph) to keep it cool and look after it - and the bleedin' camshaft snapped just before crossing the line for lap 5 Really annoying as I could hear from my fellow Lola drivers that they were deffinatly revving higher (Tom was visibly gaining on me out of the slow corners). Camshaft is an unusual one though so it looks like it was just one of those random GPL engine failures as opposed to my driving - still annoying as I felt I could hold onto 4th or at least put up a bloody good fight till someone else blew up trying to stay ahead of me

Hard luck Tim. But you were entitled to a Shift R and could have S n G'd to continue the race

Really annoying as I could hear from my fellow Lola drivers that they were deffinatly revving higher (Tom was visibly gaining on me out of the slow corners).
So sorry for your misfortune Tim . I couldn t resist check my own rpm at 200 mph. it was beneath 6200 and I rolled through the slow parts with less than 3000 rpm anyways the slow part was where I blew it "forgetting" the low rev torque as I wanted a good slip. span with no warning and brought al with me. sorry for whoever else behind me that got slowed. Hazardous to reenter since I could only use my ears, but I went on fine. somewhere after midrace I caught up Fulvio and we swapped positions several times. I had a feeling we both actually gained, but I didn t check laptimes. I tended to get too close too early before the long straight and didn t get a good slip. We ended up in the last turn almost together. I thought it was clean and exciting anyways and I think the others were to far up front to catch. sloppy performance and sloppy result. Brought the Lola in to an 8 th position. Gz to Juha for win, Baresi for second and Evil who got a third even though he was celebrating heavily

sorry I couldn't take part in this one. For the first time ever, my Virgin went down on me Connection that is, usually 100% reliable must take them to task about it, but after punching 15 options then being told calls were presently waiting half an hour, what could a a man do. Doubly annoying because I'd been working hard in offline practice to increase the draft top speed of the porker and felt I could stay in touch (or within a country mile anyway). Service was resumed at 21:45 :'( hope you all enjoyed it.

Replays and analysis are in the usual place. Sad to miss the race and I can't make round 10 either. Practised quite hard for this and was hoping for about 2:07 but I only had time for one lap to test the server.
Should be fun in the 65's in the final Specs race...

I think I can be proud of my performance last night. I knew the Porsche would be a outclassed and that I would be last by a long way so I just concentrated on running a nice steady pace and not making mistakes.... and apart from a few missed apexes and the odd locked wheel under braking that was exactly what I achieved. I worked hard at making myself as easy as possible for the others to pass and basically enjoyed a pleasant ride in some lovely french countryside. I think that being only 2 laps down is a good result for the car
