If you lack the drivers Sunday I might try to come but without training will be very difficult. The other guys in the team do not think that will be present so I would be alone. Ciao

Got the chicane itself right every time, but spun 3 times after it, and at other places, last spin put me on my roof, and it looks like I was a roadblock for poor fede Otto REally sorry about that, it was very embarrassing.

Ciao OK Otto, hope to see you on Sunday. Hopeless in tonights race. I had crashed so many times at the Chicane practicing, I became paranoid about it & was hopelessly slow through it. So just trundled around at the back keeping out of the way & hoping to reach the finish. Eventually the Chicane got me & I went for a swim. Congrats to everyone who made it to the end, very well done.

Congratulations to Doni on a fine win and an inspired choice of car!
Congrats also to Otto and Simon for the rest of the podium spots.
Fantastic pace from Otto and Federico!
When Doni passed me it was the first time, since lap one, that I didn't have a clear track to aim at and like a complete idiot I clipped a curb an smacked a very solid lamp post.
I should have been dead but the engine still said 85% so I started her up and carried on.
Note to self: Should have done better!
PS: I was fuelled for 30 laps. Where did I get that idea from?

Well! If someone could explain to me how a 2nd-rate driver in a monster such as the 427CID Cobra can score a win at Monaco, I'd be happy to put forth their name for a Nobel Prize. No, wait! I know how! Lotsa luck. Practically all good for me and not so for some top-gun runners. I found the Cobra surprisingly accommodating round this classic circuit which, on the face of it, would be about the last choice one would make to take the start. I tried all the cars for two laps and based upon my initial impressions, made the pick. The Ferrari was a close second in the running as I was almost a fast and it was such a treat to fling about. In the end, though, I went for the big snake. For sure, I benefited from incidents involving Federico and Otto. The latter was a startling affair involving Matt's get off. Holy smokes! What a shunt! I really enjoyed dicing with Frex in the little Lotus and Clive in the Porker. I'd get creamed in the corners only to yank back the time on the straights. Surprisingly, the Cobra was able to haul down on the brakes with good authority; that was most surprising. I didn't make too many mistakes but certainly went a little too deep here and there especially in the last corner; a couple of times, all I could see of the that corner was the advertising banner staring me square in the face! As well, the fact that I managed to get through the chicane for 25 consecutive laps simply amazes me. When things are going your way... Some terrific action with Otto in the closing stages was a real thriller and if it weren't for his going a bit straight on in the Station Hairpin with only 1-1/2 laps to go, I'd have had to settle for second. Looking forward to the next round...

Baulked by Federico at the start and lost 2 places before T1 - got back past Simon at the end of the lap, but then spent many laps chasing Clive. Good fun, but a wayward moment allowed Doni through and then it was a 3-way battle. Make that 4-way after Otto's unfortunate incident. Sneaked back past Doni at Mirabeau and homing in on Clive, only to inexplicably clip the barrier before the chicane head-on. Don't know how I managed that one..! But fortunately Esc'd out of the way before collecting anyone else (Doni and Otto were close behind). Great fun though until then. Congrats Doni and podium. I managed to get through the chicane for 25 consecutive laps.. Yep, and you didn't get your feet wet once.. Respect!

hey Clive!! can you copy me in on that note about doing better?? I was more than happy with my pace in the 914 on race fuel and thought I had mastered the chicane. In hindsight I think it went wrong because I did not take the chicane flat in 5th as I had in practice and "played safe" by backing off down the hill. That changed the response of the front end and I "T" boned the barrier, followed by a cold bath. Grats to Doni on getting the monster home in 1st place. Ironically I tried that car as well off line, but found the smaller brother a much more comfortable drive and almost as quick.....maybe next time. Grats to podium and all those who finished.
