wow, nice interesting track !, just done some practise. Certainly a challenge when never raced here before to suddenly have to setup a Ferrari 430 to race on it ! Its like a hillclimbing event and lots of blind crests ! Will make an interesting race, though hope contact can be avoided with so many 1st gear blind corners

Tricky round here for me, front doesnt want to turn in most of the time so have tried to make it a bit oversteery which makes it pretty interesting at times with most corners cambered. Best so far is a 53.5 but typically in 54's. Seeing GT doing 52's on friday is a bit disheartening!

Early bath for me Gutted as looked like i was on for a cracking race. Had struggled through qually in the 53's and then 52's but i made some late setup changes that gained me time and put in a 51 to qually 7th or 8th? Race start, spanner braked a bit early so i took an opportunist but clean, dive down the inside and nabbed a place Then chased H@L hard for several laps whilst pulling out a gap on the chasing pack behind. Alas on about lap 6 or 7 at T2, i got sucked into following H@Ls aston as it ran wide on the grass on exit but whereas he carried on, mine spat me round into the wall on the inside of the corner. I couldnt dare move as the whole grid came round and had to rejoin last and 18 secs down :'( Then drove like a loon again doing 1:52s race pace and re-caught the pack but then oddly near the top of the first hill, the car just launched me into a sudden 360 degree turn that was still spinning when TT unfortunately hit me head on and destroyed my car Race over.

I've never been so unprepared for one of these races & it showed in my performance. Ah well, lets hope I learn my lesson.

Always liked this track Great flow and rhythm to it and in the 997 it was a dream to race on tonight. Qualied P2 behind API who was as usual on another planet.....great pace Managed to pull a 2 or 3 second gap early on back to Matt in 3rd, which was enough to allow me to concentrate on my driving and not my mirrors, meanwhile Matt was kept busy battling with Jim. I thought I'd discoed with about 5 or 6 to go as they disappeared behind me. I was just about to hit esc when I saw their tabs as I rounded the hairpin, so they must have had a tangle From then on with the pressure off it was an easy drive to the line for my first pody in GTR2 Congrats to API and well done all.

Wot Goldtop said. Followed him for a few, sort of catching then not as I was cautious braking, then Laz was all over me like a bad cold, the Ferri was much faster down the straights,I was a bit quicker in a couple of tight turns had some good pass/repass action, I got bored of defensive driving so moved over down the fast hill to let him by assuming he would run away and pass Goldie, but I could easily keep up, and even made a couple of speculative half passes. Then I braked late into the 1st tight right, he less so and I tapped him,(sorry for that) into a half spin, waited and we went at it again with HAL now pressing me from behind. Was great fun having someone to race from start to finish. In hindsight I probably should have kept blocking, and not been so accomodating.

Intense race! I was fighting hard with nsfast from early on with MJ in the mirrors. MJ fell back after a while, unlucky mate, I almost came a cropper at that point too. I had an incident with nsfast soon after, sorry mate. Luckily we did not loose too much time but, he eventually made a mistake and I was able to pass, was not easy until that point. I tried hard to catch Lazlow and Matt but, they were allot faster. I was only able to catch due to them slowing each other down. Near then end I got really close and tried a very opportunist move on Matt in case I could catch him off guard. No team orders at Pseudo. It did not work and I could not get close enough to try again. Good fun, well done podiums, see you all next time.
