I never used to look forward to driving Brno in GTR but the increased grip in GTR2 has really made it come alive for me.
Here's to another good race tonight. Good luck all.

Didn't enjoy any minute of it . What a (%$&*&%^$%&#^) track, unbelievable. I don't care what others say about it, this is the dumbest track ever, only 90 degree corners. To make matters worst I was a sec slower in qually than my PB, whatever I tried. The race was just as piss, so I decided to ram that snot GTC into the tyres and leave before I would explode of anger of this complete stupidity. Next race I'm gonna take something else than the GTC, even of they take all my point, I don't care. Don't quote me as I'm just too pissed off right now.

Despite a pretty good showing in qualifying, the poor ole' Vertigo wasn't quite up to it here, one tiny mistake and those dastardly GT3's were straight past Had a good first 15 mins, managed to just about keep on the back of Shark for a while then steadily dropped back having good scraps with Greg & BigG for the last 20 mins or so. Good racing chaps

That was another very tough race. Thought I was going to be about 18th on the grid, but at end of qually I whacked the rear wing down to 5 to get some much needed extra speed. Sort of did the trick. Put me up to 14th with a 2:01.3, very lairy but faster. Decided to stick with the same setup for the race, just with mediums instead of softs and more fuel and one more vent on the radiator and sort of pleased and displeased...the corner speed wasn't great with such low wing but it meant I could keep the RSR of TT behind me when he dragged himself up to me about two thirds of the way through. Was not quite enough to keep up with Aagramn's M3 down the straights but in his slipstream I could almost but not quite hold on.
With Pedro disco'ing and Jeff quitting, nicely gave me another 2 places and when Aagramns soft tyres went right off at the end I was able to overtake him and take my 2nd 10th in a row.
Well done to CJ on win and other podiums, especially Jon (cause he's my teamy). I don't know how on earth you managed to get the TVR to drive at that pace. You were something like 2.5 seconds faster than I could go in the TVR, brilliant stuff.
Again, good fun controlling the TVR and with so many real aliens in this division, 10th is another good result.

Can't practice and develop set-ups like I used to and, boy, is it showing! I'm not sure the prospect of tootling around in the late teens/early twenties is going to keep my boat afloat throughout the season but I'll keep trying and see how we go. Spent a lonely 35 mins at the back after a tap into the sand a couple of laps in and then finally caught someone and had a great time trying to overtake. At least I ran consistent laps all race. I broadly agree with Ruskus though (rant aside ) the track is horrible and the designer should be hung from a gallows constructed out of all the 90 degree set squares he must have used to come up with boring corner after boring corner

Congrats to the podium.
Gambled on soft tyres, but it backfired on me in the end. Was OK until about 5 minutes to go, running a pretty good 10th, then I started losing buckets of time. Lost places to Shark & TT, then another in a photo finish to BigG on the line. Got a "tyres worn" message with about 4 corners left to go, never had that before.

Didnt enjoy that at all, car was a complete pile of understeering cack I just dont understand whats going on, used the same setup last night that i spent bloody ages getting right and was setting regular 2:02's with full race fuel on the online server with the +50 ggrrr kg and yet tonight it just felt total rubbish. I had chronic understeer all race. The only saving grace was i had some great battles with Mc M, Trede? etc. for lap after lap To cap off my crap night i rear ended Locotus with about 2 laps to go, pulled over on last lap to let him back past and lost two more places as he was being followed closely by Paul who i hadnt seen No fun at all when you spend the whole 40 minutes just trying to wrestle the car around the turns rather than having fun racing. :'(

Not a very good result for me (9th) but I gave it all I had with that TVR. I felt a bit like a sitting duck on the straights but through the corners it was up there with the rest. Of course that was not enough and I was overtaken twice by a Porsche. I could have block but didn't want to spoil a great race. From then on it was all keeping up with the guys in front and I somehow managed to do that and what a reward I got for that... watching some very nice "fighting" between Radius and Leuven. I sort of hoped they will ram eachother of the track but at the same time I was happy that they fought fair and square till the end. It was so nice to see both Porsche's sliding in the last laps as the tyres were begining to go away but I couldn't take advantage of that as my front grip was gone as well so in the end we all finished very close together and I can say that was a fantastic race for me to drive despite my 9th position.

Great race Didn't overtake anyone and didn't get overtaken but still enjoyed every minute of it. It was very exciting being chased by Martin(thanks for your gentlemanly driving). I thought he had me on a couple of occasions and was expecting him to go past as I'd left some extra room on one of them. I think it must've been hard to try and pass the TVR 'cus I was sliding everywhere and was a little unpredictable at times. I had the tyres worn warning with about 4-5 laps to go and was lucky enough for the time to run out. One more lap and I would've been had. Very close finish with Martin and Paul and needless to say that I'm very happy to have got 2nd, no doubt the best I could've done. Grats to CJ on his Victory Great driving as usual
