Congrats Raoni and Roberto! It's a shame Jonny had computer problems. :(

I was lucky. I don't know what happened to Keni. He could have beat me with a Cooper. :) I don't think Tristan is driving as good as he often does. I hope you're alright. And I got lucky, I didn't need to drive faster than 1:28.5. Neither I nor my car's setup was good for consistently running in the 1:27s.

I had doubts I could finish this one. I thought I might wreck the Lotus, easily destroy the DFV, and my knee is aching.

You really have to be good sliding the car into and through the turns. I do that best in the Ferrari. Two fast laps in the Lotus overheated the left rear tire every time. It takes a lot of finesse to run a fast lap here.

I never expected to win. I just hoped to survive and learn to drive the Lotus a little better.

Thanks for the fun guys.

I had an early puncture and had to retire the car.

   It was more of a frustration, until I was happy with the qualy even with fps problems. But in the race it was impossible, after lap1 I entered the pits so that all the rest of the riders could pass me. I returned after the last one at about 350 m to have a free and reasonable fps track. but after a few laps i arrived in the class and the problems came back ....... i entered the pits again, it was the only decent thing i could do.

  Congratulations to the podium, I am happy to see Greg Taber go to the last race with chances of being champion, it will be a great duel, 3 riders in the last race intending on the crown !!!!
