Well done Pops, Paul and Don, top work!! Ironically i had my worst race ever ! :'(........throttle loss on several occasions, numerous 'sympathy' spins when people lost it in front of me, bad (un-tested) full wet race setup, and plenty of crap spins and body damage of my own. I think my Porsche looked like a 50 pence piece by race end still got to overtake a few people and pottered around and got 11th...small consolation for 40 minutes of pain! :'( I hate wet races in the GT3, i just cant understand how Mo got a 1:27 ....has he had it modified by Hoverspeed

I do not know what happened to me the car took off on what I thought was the straight and cleared the barriers , end of race.I should never have gt off line to let a car through earlier as things went form bad to worse after that.gerald

Congratulations to Mo for his win, 1m27 was that really your quali time I didn't see it - that's very fast!! Five seconds faster than my time.. Still, qualified 5th, got a sudden load of oversteer on right curb going through Eau Rouge, but held it just.. you kept throttle on Shark nicely but my RSR powered right passed awesome. After that was a blur, bit tired for this race but was nice following you Truetom.. not much in it!! Twoing and froing we were until you went too hard in La Source and then popped it into N. I took it well and crept passed only to spin half a lap later into Pouhon.. you know the story, too much speed, too much brakes, to much steering, around she goes funny how the tyres went like that, couple of laps and that's it they're gone - is that normal?? Well it was simple mistake, done it a thousand times... finsihed 5th but I should have done better. GTR runs like a dream on my rig, got some new 2 3 3 6 2gb RAM. Cars look excellent, specially that Morgan in quali exiting pit behind me.. Hey is there a gallery here? I wouldn't mind doing some pics for some of the races.. ?

Definitely a pb for me in qual that's for sure, and managed to hold it together for the win. I had an amazing setup running on soft fronts which seemed to go the distance ok. Little bit of understeer creeping in towards the end but that was more than welcome. Only one scary moment really at Eau Rouge on first lap where I nearly binned it, and then outbraking myself at the end of the straight while looking at the looming Leuven in the rearview. great race for me , definitely my best ever. Seems like a great race all round with battles throughout the field I hate wet races in the GT3, i just cant understand how Mo got a 1:27 ....has he had it modified by Hoverspeed lol maybe I should race boats

One of the best races I have had uptil now. Thanks to all that raced. Had a good quali and managed to keep it safe for most of the race and then with something like 4 to go lost concentration and span it.

No, no gallery. I have one over at Team Shark, obviously it's a little biased towards Team Shark entrants, but here's the small section from UKGTR races... http://www.teamshark.org.uk/index.php?option=com_rsgallery&catid=4

Very well done to everyone for the superb standard of driving in the wet- really top notch considerate driving I thought during the edgey first few laps I'd like to second that. There were some off's but the standard of car to car driving was excellent from what I saw. Very polite and cautious, suitable for the wet conditions, both people racing together and the back markers and in fact during qualifying where the pit exit especially is horribly dangerous anyway.

Think that was a 2:27 Rich, otherwise I think he may have a little divine assistance. I think I had some divine intervention anyway - never got a 2.27 before, dont know how I got it, and dont expect to do one again. From looking at the hot lap replay the lap looks plain and simple. I think I somehow managed to hook up a perfect lap, every single corner , braking point and apex was spot on. I have to agree with PaulW's comment on the high standard of driving by everyone. At such a dangerous track in the wet there were very few incidents, and a good finishing field. I think the attrition rate was higher in the dry season 1 NGT race see you next time

I had a play with the Motec stuff when offline and noticed that if u add up all fastest times of the different parts of the track u get a seriously faster lap than u do in general. Maybe you managed to do one that was just as smooth as that!? T P.S. Sowwy for the braking in the first lap after Eau Rouge, but I just got confused all of a sudden when I didn't hear the 'green flag, green flag' message. Hope noone ran into trouble cause of it
