Well that was fun, I always enjoy a nice run at the nords.
Qually: I don't think I ever got pole with an out lap before, but that's what happened
, first flyer I did a stupid spin at Adenauer Forst, so cruised the rest of the lap to save the tyres, then went again and was going even faster until I went totally potato at Hohe Acht and drove into the armco
Race: Almost forgot to launch at the start, then spent most of the 1st lap driving conservatively till the tyre pressures came up, only to see a charging FMG lighting up the purple sectors behind me as I neared the end of it, so then I started to push a bit harder, trying to keep it clean and not overdrive. Didn't have any moments, but sadly the lazy 1st (and a bit 2nd) laps took too long and it wasn't quite possible to get to the line before time ran out and make it 7 laps...
Still a very enjoyable evening drive which left me thinking, those old guys had BALLS, driving these beer cans around there at such speed - but to crash and almost die, and then be back in the car a month later and racing again, that's some seriously outstanding determination.
Congrats to FMG on 2nd, as ever keeping me on my toes and making it a race, 1 mistake would have meant failure to receive red cap, and that just wasn't in my plan.
Congrats to Mark, nice to see you get a podium, and congrats to everyone else who finished, its a hard combo and the green hell does not forgive, that small mistake which costs you a couple of seconds on a normal track ends your race here...

Meh to ACC, I would happily race it if they ever get VR to run well, but when it looks bad and cant even get solid fps on a 2080ti / 5ghz 8700k then they need to do some serious work first.
And then it has 1 more problem - Its only got modern GT cars and while they are Ok, I would quickly get bored of just racing those, and I can't be alone in that. There is definitely going to continue to be a space for AC races running other interesting series.
