GLA and have FUN

After a good qualy one start like Hamilton.Despite this ,one eletric wire around the lag and some green ,the enterprise to finish a race has been successful.

Congrats Axel! You made enough mistakes to give me a chance to win and I made enough to lose it.


Congrats! I'm relieved you finished. I came close to ruining it for you. I apologize. I lost traction when I stepped on the throttle coming out of Druids. I got sideways and couldn't keep the car from sliding into you. :(

I got about 30 minutes of practice. Just enough practice to make a setup I could drive somewhat decent. Everybody let me through rather easily. Thanks. I struggled with Druids a lot through the first several laps. I made a few mistakes through the race. One spin and hitting Fran were the only mistakes I lost a good bit of time.

I didn't practice enough to calculate my fuel usage correctly. I thought it was 0.7 gallons per lap. I did 0.8 gallons X 30 laps for 24 gallons. I thought the car might use more fuel than I was expecting after Doni had run low at Mosport. Instead it used about 0.6 gallons per lap so I finished with almost 6 gallons (20+ liters) of fuel. Oops!

Thanks guys. See you next time.

For me is not a problem,i was convinced in a misunderstanding between you and me.I have gived you road on the left, decreasing the speed,but also you have chosen the right.I'm happy to know that was not so,in a first time i was convinced to have damaged your race. ;)

For awhile there, it kinda looked like nobody wanted to win this affair as I believe that everyone had at least one off at the sweeping South Bank corner.  And that includes me.  :)

Grats to Axel on the win!  Nice to see you back in the winner's circle.  Great drive by Greg to score a very close P2 which so easily could have been a victory without the dramas.  And starting from the back row, too.

A good if somewhat lucky P3 for me as Carlos inherited that position after I fell off...in South Bank...to hand him about a 6s advantage.  I managed to whittle that down where as has been the case so many times in S30 we ran nose-to-tail for many a lap til the South Bank jinx bit him.  Bad luck there, CC.

I don't want to sign off without giving kudos to Fran in the Lola-Chevy.  Yes, he finished a lap down and that came about through some offs including a costly tangle with Greg but he recorded a very decent qualifying time and wasn't far off it in the race.  Good show, Fran.  If you can do it over one lap, you can two, then three, then five, then 10 and so on.  Keep up the good work!  :)

Thank you Dony,in the previous race i was not able to finish half race ,mainly for engine failure, so this time is a satisfaction despite the very bad start and the final result.
