Having had some laps here tonight it seems the Vertigo is very far off the pace Some cars i tried were 1.5 - 2 secs a lap quicker than it. Going to be a tough event i think!

By "tough race" do you mean you might have to slum it with a mere podium finish... rather then lapping 3rd place?

i did 0 laps actual in zhuhai, but i think i will change car now, spyker is a very good car, but i am not big fan of this car and i will drive other cars too, hope i have understand this correct with 20% points loose if change 2xtimes car, if i do make 3rd place = 10points, then i only get 8 points, BUT next race if i drive same car, then i get all points again. so only 1 race it do hurt me, sorry for question again, but i am not very good in english and i always must do thinking what information of a letter is. i like zhuhai . servus

That is correct, you will only be penalised for the first race with the new car, the next race with that car you will score full points

Well I've managed to get down to a 37 with race fuel. Not too bad but a whole second short of the last time we raced the GTC's here, when I somehow got the fastest GTC lap of the night

m'eh, that was fun for a short while but soon i was again reminded that i dont like Zhuhai and it doesnt like me.Never had a good result there and never felt like ive had a good setup for it, tonight included! Had some good battles with Nsfast early on whilst chasing Prof hard, and Legzy for a bit. But once my tyres were worn i kept slithering off under hard braking and losing several seconds at a time. Eventually i got the dreaded fps stutters that not had for a while and had to pull off the track as undriveable, with 29mins left I've had this before at zhuhai, dont know why this track.

Good battle with Berger that he won but my engine blowing 2 corners from home was a little cruel. Ruddy Porsche :'( Better turnout which gives me a little hope for the future. Congrats to all and heres to a slightly bigger grid, again, next week. Legzy, build it and they will come

Sorry about the start people, I was up in 5th & hitting the 'pit speed limiter release button'... only I wasn't , I was pressing the wrong darn one . That naffed up TT's start & think I recall he caught my rear while I was panicking... I was embarrassed & so had to wait as he'd lost a bunch of places till he was past me, but then I do wonder if I put Pete off who then lost it & span, hitting TT. At this point do you laugh or cry Anyway, went on to have a quite decent race, came out the pits again right next to TT. It's a shame, I think we were dead equal on pace tonight, but never really got to do much racing together. Was a good last 20 mins though, trying to keep him honest while I was over-driving myself. Had some good laps with some others too. Did make me laugh a couple of times, trying to out drag GT3 cars with my Fezza. Still, I'm certain it was even harder for the Vertislow & Z4 Hard luck Ginsters, congrats podiums. Big well done to Jayblue for not swapping cars to suit the track, from what I saw on the map, that meant you enjoyed a very busy race!

Great race. Legzy botched the start giving me some breathing space while I try to make a move on JB. It was not to be lol. I tried everything I could think of but, he got the power down so early that the best I could do was get along side on a straight before I was out braked. I did out brake my self and almost took JB out at one point in to T1. Sorry mate. Lucky you saw it coming. Spanner caught up and all three of us were very close for quite a while. It was excellent. I eventually made a mistake after starting a discussion on TS about where best to pass JB. Spanner passed me and seemed to have a much easier time than I did of passing JB. After that I fell back a bit and TT caught me. I had a little tussle with TT before pitting. Thanks for giving me room to pit there mate. TT and Spanner seemed to have slow stops and I was able to pass them in the pit. JB made a late stop and came out quite a bit ahead of me and I thought I would end the race with the position I had then. JB unexpectedly pitted (fuel I guess) and then I ran out of fuel on the last lap. I just made it to the finish line. Not sure how close JB was by that time but it must have been less than 5 seconds. Well done podiums.

Was on the cards to be a brilliant result but ruined it be getting a stop-go Thanks to Legzy for taking out TT and himself meant i ended up behind Prof and was shocked to just drive by on the staight Then slowly pulled up on the back of H@L and Jayblue who seemed to be tripping each other up and slowing me down while i could see Prof starting to gain. H@L tried is umpteenth attempt to get by but only sucedded in letting me past but then worried that i wasn't going to bring the gap back down to Jayblue but after a few laps i saw JB run a bit wide in the last corner and i managed to get past at the first attempt and then managed to eek out a few seconds gap so i could relax a bit and calm down! Having not practised the pit entry i made sure i slowed down early but didnt look as i pressed the limiter button and i must have pressed a different one as the rev display didnt flash and i wasnt slowing down at all After two laps i came in a served the stop-go and came out behind prof by about 12 secs, dont know if he had problems? So i got my head down and tried concentrating to bring the gap down putting a string of fastest laps in. I think it helped though with lapped traffic going past as with a bout 5mins to go i ended up on the back of Prof but my suposed straightline speed advantage from earlier wasnt quite so apparent as we ran bumper to bumper and i couldnt even get close to making a move. Brilliant race though, came away shattered lol. Seems that the fields are getting closer and closer which is definately making the racing better up( or down) my end!
