Thanks Apex & Prof, very chuffed. Only my second ever UKGTR2 series title & my first since 2009 :laugh:

Race went perfect, it actually suited me to be behind TT from the start. Knowing Apex was the single driver I had to beat, I made no attempt to do anything but follow TT, as I'm also all to aware that left to my own devices I would no doubt lose focus & spin! :clown:
So followed TT with just a small gap & actually grew with concern when he had a minor minute & went off, meaning I was through on my own, though at the rate H@L was gaining, it felt like he'd soon be on my bumper. But while TT & H@L fought, I just eeked out the lead, only a couple of minor wobbles on my part as I stayed calm & mentally ticked off the remaining laps.

Dead chuffed, it's been an absolute blast. Great to see a small resurgence of numbers this season, double figers in nearly every race I think? Thanks all for racing, H@L for organising & I look forward to seeing you all next season.

p.s. Season highlight: The GT1 race @Suzuka, where Prof drove excellently, fending off the constant attention of Spanner, myself, MJ, Pete & TT for numerous numerous laps! Awesome/fair close quarters stuff & exactly why I keep racing here. :tt1:

Grats on the win Legzy, well deserved. 8)
Race was so - so. After the best quali lap I was quite confident as it felt I finally found a good setup (had a bit trouble setting this car :-\ ). Still don't know what caused that first mistake, didn't brake any later than usual, the car just went on. Happened again, same corner. ??? Legzy got through and H@l was just behind. Like Legzy said, we had some close laps with H@l, our pace was more or less the same and we also had the same car, so... More mistakes than skill from both of us :P caused some position changing and in the end I was lucky to be able to hold a second position. Tyres were problematic, after the best rubber was off I wasn't able to keep up with Legzy even after H@l fell a bit behind.
Anyhow, thanks all for getting together the decent numbers and skill to have some high quality racing. Can't wait to have more of you. ;)
