I'm going to be driving the Elise. With race fuel I'm managing steady 1:00.3-5s.

Well that was always going to be a tough race for me, but in the rain I made it worse by going with hard wets as they never got anywhere near temp. Happy to finish last

Just as I was starting to get to grips with the car in the dry... Couldn't make head nor tail of the brakes for the first few laps and had to through it off at Lycee on the first flying lap to avoid running into the back of 57goldtop. Really struggled for the first 10 minutes but then started to get into a better rhythm and finally got some temperature into the tyres... right up until I spun coming out of the final chicane and had to sit still for so long before rejoining that my tyres went stone cold. Despite the small turnout I reckon that would've been fun if I'd been properly prepared. Next time...

Excellent race tonight...really enjoyed it...my best drive in the wet I was very lucky to start this one after a lost connection with a few seconds of qual remaining. Although, I think starting at the back was a help as it allowed me a couple of clear laps getting used to the conditions. Had great fun working up from 11th to 4th. Congrats to the podium guys.

Interesting race, some close laps with Jose at first. Guess dry race will sort the car classes out. Mugello next - comming, Psuedo?

I think 2nd is a very good result considering all the mistakes I made. I was running round with race fuel for most of qualifying The rear of the car seemed to be very unpredictable and I kept out breaking myself at the penultimate corner. Was brilliant to be side by side with spanner over the line

Didnt get much time to practise, only had about 30mins before the race. Tried out the exige but it behaves nothing like an elise / exige as i would be horrified if the real car handled as badly as this one. Switching to the elise and it felt amazing and i could actually get it round the track. Just had a steady race really managing to keep it on the track. Err interesting last corner Jose, admitedly i hit the kurbs too much and couldnt accelerate away well when you came past like a rocketship It was a bit obvious having see the replay, hardly legit!

The first part of the chicane does look a bit dubious but I don’t know if it gave me any advantage. Having said that the benefit of the doubt should probably go the driver who didn’t levee the track so if you want to submit an incident report I would be more than happy to concede the place.
