Gonna switch to this from my original plan of GT1 sprint as I might actually make Monza for this champ. Taking the Lister after a bit of tweaking and happy to use it instead of the S7. Anyone else racing? V quiet here!

I'll try the "proper" Pirelli Saleen. Not that'll do me any good here.

Oh no! My computer crashed with 13 mins to go. I really hope my car didn't cause any accidents. Never crashed before.

Good Fun. That turned into a simple battle to keep the engine alive from about lap 8 :'( The reliabilty on the 360 was dropping like a fruit machine. Some how made it to the end.

Bah, finished 8th after starting 3rd on the grid by getting my qualifying in before it started to be a bit damp. First/second lap coming through Abbey right behind Pseudo, but his Saleen didn't accelerate as I had expected and I spun taking a lift off to avoid hitting his rear end. Ended up on the tarmac runoff, but couldn't see anything down the road even with 90 degree right glance angle so I simply waited for my position to be last and then set off. Got past the GT2s pretty quickly and then past the two yellow and black tail-end GT1s. Then took me quite a while to reach anymore GT1s, eventually getting Nsfast. A couple of laps after that I lost the rear end taking T1 too fast and somehow avoided any major contact with the barrier and that really was the end of getting any higher. Had to repass Nsfast and that was it for the rest of the race. Took my pit stop and Madd-Rip took his late to come out 4 seconds ahead, but with traffic and his greater pace I was never going to get another place. Maybe I should have gambled and taken the cheating MC12 after all, as I did a 1:41.1 in that in practice with no proper setup or track-time, but it's so unfamiliar to me that I didn't want to just drop into it at the last minute and hope I could do 80 minutes on it without a proper setup. Anyway, well done to Joss for the race win in GT1 despite losing his force feedback half way through the race. Also to Purdie who I think won GT2, good job! My computer crashed with 13 mins to go. I really hope my car didn't cause any accidents. Never crashed before.
Unlucky. Don't think so, your car was frozen just half on grass half on tarmac coming into Abbey, but you could see a long way off and it was easy to avoid.

Really good race, grats to Freq for his stunning pace. I started 6th, gained 3 places after a spin and an overtake on Pseudo. Kept chasing Reign Man but couldn't really catch him. Very entertaining to lap drivers, thanks all for being so clean. Gotta say sorry to somebody in a Lambo that I tapped in the Abbey chicane while lapping him, waited for him but I was about to be caught by my rivals on track and accelerated as early as he rejoined the track behind me. Sorry I kept 3rd till the end, probably 2 laps more and I could have challenged for 2nd, but another podium makes me happy EDIT: What a spectacular start of the MotoGP race, Stoner vs Rossi they look crazy lol

Awsome race...started 5th behind Jps and managed to sneak up the inside at club on the first lap and then was battling with SBG, Purdie and Dave , managed to get passed Dave let mark go by as the rears were going off which they did 10 mins before the end of each stint, at this point i let Mark through as he was quicker. Made my pitstop and didnt have a clue whre i was ...caught the scrapping Dave and Purdie and managed to get passed Dave when he made a mistake at stowe ( i think) but my rear tyres were on the way out and Dave got back passed sorry if i blocked you a few time mate was just trying to keep the car undercontrol! Let my teamie Mark through a few laps towards the end as he was quicker and got a 5th. Grats to Purdie and SBG.. great drive mate you were in 21st at one point!! i take it you didnt take any fuel??, and all the other podiums. Cheers

Fun race Nice battle with MAD RIP at the start. Sorry to Mcfids for a lame passing move by me. I should have waited Also sorry to Mark Mclean for slowing you down at T1 and messing up your race with Dave and Dan Minton at the end. Good fun attempting to hold off TT as well. I overshot my pit in the stop and had to drive round again, other than that nice race. H@L9000
