Drove like a newb again, at least i didn't crash anybody out this time, but still thats the last nail in the coffin for me. Would you please take me out of all 3 series' Dave, thanks.
Edit: scrap that, gonna give it another chance on a different track :-P
Glad to hear it. Has someone just realised it's Monza next race?

Phewee, that was a belter. Tried a new setup just before the race and it helped out greatly during the race proper, with good even temps all round, unlike my enduro setup that cooked the rears after 35-40 mins. Fought my way up from a lousy 20th to finish a fine 10th in the end after some cracking battles along the way. I never got a moments rest with either a car just in front to chase or one chasing me hard My fronts started to go off big time just as i was closing down Aagramn with about 5 minutes to go, and i ended up falling back a little into the clutches of a charging K Dixon?, but then had the brainwave to shift my brake balance to the rear and it worked a treat to help fend him off and re-open a gap until the finish line This masters sprint is so flipping tough, congrats to the podium guys.

My race didn't went that bad, but I didn't practise a lot so didn't have a real steady pace. But managed to keep up for a while, made a mistake at the chicane. Then got a bump at the hairpin and after that the race just went downhill for me At the end of the race, I got one wheel on the grass and the car launched itself to the other side, like a projectile to the wall. Lost a wheel and front bumper with that. Engine didn't start so after escape I had the retirement reason: 'accident'. Never seen that one before Sorry for the tiny tap Minton, luckily you kept it in control, felt bad for ya when I saw you crashing later

Was a fun battle at the end, I really thought I was going to get you on the last lap but I closed up to much on the chicane and had to drop back I made the mistake of not bothering to practice for this one, threw the setup together with an hour to go and just hoped for the best, I'll spend a bit more time on the next one

Was another cracking race, but I made so many mistakes! Well out of touch with the 360 so I need to practice during the week next time - and I will. I did a bit of a Webber in qualifying and got higher than I rightly deserved, so I had to fend of a train of cars behind until my first major off. Sorry for the "Trulli effect" behind me! Trying too hard to keep up - bringing my spin tally to about 5 or 6 At one point I reclaimed position (5th?) and promptly lost it at the chicane about 20 seconds later! About these awards... can we have a "most spins per race" award too please Happy I got 3rd fastest lap as I know I have no chance at the mo to get near Ruskus or CJ who have consistently amazing pace everywhere! But shame I drove like a decappitated snowman.

Bad race for me, qualified 23 couldnt match the times i was getting in practice server last night. Big sorry to Osie who ran wide due to me rejoining the track, sorry i did look but couldnt get a full view as i looked back. Also sorry to bigG who i tapped from behind causing him to spin. All this in one lap! i was well behaved after that!! bad luck pops, you must have been thrashing your car cause 1 minute i had a decent lead on you and next you had it down to almost a second. Ah well, looking forward to monza

Started 14th and had great fights throughout the race, the start with Aargram in the M3 and then a race long duel with Pedro. Very fair to i must say dont think we touched once. Martin was battling us both at one stage but was definetly faster and manged to put a good move on me down into the hairpin. fairly pleased with 7th at the end. congrats to Ruskus and CJ

Was it just me or did anyone else see Ruskus's car frozen a few laps into the race that caused a bit of mayhem for the rest of the field? That's 2 Sprint races in a row that's happened as his car was frozen on the last corner at Zhuhai for a couple of laps in the GT Sprint. I wonder if we have a technical issue somewhere? What connection setting you using Jeff? Did you have a big stutters at the start? Maybe it was when the second server went to race session?

A dreadful race for me. The TVR was about 1 second slower (in my hands) than my pace in the M3 on Sunday and this resulted in 18th on the grid instead of what would have been 3rd or 4th if I'd taken the M3 (from my Sunday pace). Stunning pace from Jeff to get under 1:30 and take pole position. After having the local panel beaters shape my car (presumably they don't like ugly ducklings (I was the only TVR )) the car let's say wasn't exactly "right on" and I was finding it hard to drive at any pace. I let Pops pass me with about 10 minutes to go to see just how bad my pace was and it was bad. I decided to spin it out the last corner and into the pits with 6 or 7 minutes to go, get the damage repaired and get some new soft tyres. Surprise surprise when I came out being lapped by about 7th/8th places I was faster than them. I didn't want to unlap myself really cause I was not fighting for anything meaningful so just followed them to the end. Grats to top 3 and Martin please don't go, you're just having a bad week at a circuit that maybe you don't get on with. Would be a shame to lose you.

I qualified 13th - well below my times from the practice session. The race was one great battle. Fair battle I must admit. I have watched the reply just to see all those late apex overtaking maneuvers. Marvelous! I just wish my F360 was quicker on straights - possibly wrong rear wing setup again. It's a pity I spun just 3 laps before race end and and lost my 10th position. I would probably loose it anyway as I miscalculated race pace and found myself with 0.6 liter of fuel on the beginning of last lap I'll never know if I would finish the race if it was not for the fuel spent on getting out of sand trap... Martin wrote he drove like a newb. Damn! You've overtaken me anyway mate! Special thx to: Truetom, Martin, Locutos, Mark MC & Baracus for all the great tight racing we had! Congratulations to the usual podium aliens
