Still have two chances to beat API, though it seems more likely the other way around. Always liked Imola, but was never really quick there.

Having some issues with my brake pedal pot making my brake lights come on even when i'm not touching the pedal at the moment so i am unlikely to be racing again until i get it fixed. Luckily for me my other league is in F1 cars, so brake lights aren't an issue. Hoping to take them apart in the week and try to fix them.

finsih this race without a cutwarning is the most difficulty thing for me. imola is not a favourite track for me. (friendly words for this track ) doing make practise for this race will be a pain, think 1.44 is possible, perhaps 1.43?? not sure because drive on limit in imola always end bad for me (stop/go penalty or chicane spins ) i only will collect so much points that i do not need to drive last race, because in 2 weeks it is already soccerworldcup. servus

Been trying allsorts and couldnt improve the grip, it seems to like locking up really easy, and gets quite unstable when braking into first corner for example. So decided to jump back in the ol' favorite 997, straight in the low 50's

Unstable under braking could be front too soft. It's easy to overdo it when trying to get more grip. But that car is even more difficult to set-up than Marcos. As long as you race I don't care which car you use. Hear that, JB?

Poor race for me. Race ruined by two stop and go's then a daft mistake wiping out the suspension. :'(
I was pushing just too hard to keep up with H@L and Berger.
I'm wondering if it may be better for the GT1 "three" to swap to GT2 for the last race.

i got 2xstop go too. in 1st stint it looks good for me, but then i did spin hit the wall and i had a totaly much aero damage, then i was always short behind h@l9000, but short before he did pitstop i did spin in chicane (anytimes i did spin here) and i was 11 sec. behind, after my pitstop i was then 2-3 sec. behind him. 2nd stint was very bad, got stop/go and was perhaps 19sec. behind, then comes little closer, but not fast, but suddently h@l9000 did mistake (i think) and i was only 5-6 sec. behind, i did push a lot and 2 laps before end i was short behind him, but then i did come out of track again (where the white track part is) and got my 2nd stop/go. very hard race this was for me, it was not good that not much drivers was. congrats h@l900 and API for win

OK race for me, held off TT for a bit early on before I made one too many mistakes. Then had the same with Spanner, he was quicker & I was able to stay ahead till I made one too many mistakes. Then got a couple of stop/goes for cut track warnings, the 2nd one was a shame because I thought I was going to have a good finish with Matt.
Congrats API & H@l.

I was not on the pace of Legzy and Spanner here, but took full fuel good for 65 mins, went in and took 20 mins worth and made a relativley short stop which kept me in front of Legzy, 17 laps to go and he had 17 secs to make up he was doing it just about til he got his stop go, it's what ya get for cutting corners too much I got one cut track when i got wobbly into final chicane, otherwise was clean. EDIT: Sorry if I was hard to lap API, I was desperately trying to give you room, I moved over on the straights, stayed wide in the corners etc, It was losing me time to the fast closing Legzy as it was, and did not want to give him any more gifts. Took me a while to realise that although you were catching me in the corners for fun with my shot fronts I was actually faster on the straights! Was wondering why you kept "hanging back"

Saw in Q I was not very quick here, so I had to rely on consistency. Took full fuel and softs, then after half went in for some more fuel and softs again. Was a bit worried about fuel, so I shortshifted and it worked. I guess Jose had a stop&go, then he made a mistake, I passed and after some close laps he went into the pits and didn't come out. Must say my race was pretty dull but I guess it worked as I got a totaly undeserved 2nd. And that won't save API from getting the Championship. Grats podys and all. P.S. A big to everyone that showed up.

Whoo who. nice race. Good fight with nsfast in the first half and good fight with Berger in the 2nd half. If it was not for Berger's bad luck then I would not have won. I was really feeling the pressure when you were closing the gap towards the end Berger. I had a couple of spins and got some aero damage near the end of the race. 2 cut warnings but no penalty. Shame about the low turn out again. Well done all. Nice work all other podium drivers.

I guess Jose had a stop&go, then he made a mistake, I passed and after some close laps he went into the pits and didn't come out. During my first stop I forgot to put fuel in, I started short shifting a lot hoping I could get to the finish as I started with a full tank. I came in again when I realised I would not make it and put way too much fuel in this time and only just came out in front of TT. Had a good battle with him for a couple of laps before I got a stop-go penalty and then crashed in to the end of the pit building when I came in to serve it.
