looking forward to this one especially as we are back in GT1's
When we had the GT500 championship race here earlier in the year i didnt get to race as i hadnt installed all the mods and when i logged on to the server on race night it let me get on track but no one could see me and none of my lap times where appearing, was well frustrated!

By the looks of laptimes in previous events I'll be propping up the back of the grid in the Ford GT  ::)

Tried a couple of cars but was in the 1.50's. Do struggle jumping in and out of cars. Cant get any of these working for me, fronts just wash when turning the wheel more than a 1/4 of a turn.

Other than:
1) It was a great race, particularly the early part where H@L was being annoyingly fast/persistent, I just couldn't shake him off 8)
2) TT was lucky, I'd have had him if we had just one more lap ;)
3) Thanks all

I have nothing else :)

Nice race for me, lots of fun. :)

I was chasing Legzy early on and trying to keep the pressure on but, eventually I fell back a bit. I caught up with Lazlow towards the end and finished the race just behind him.

Managed to dig out an Imola setup which wasnt too bad if a bit too understeerey. Never got the hang of softs so stuck with mediums all round but took a lap or two to get the pressures up. Not used to so much close racing, good to see some new and old faces back with some good racing. Managed to finally make a move on Cobo and managed to get a bit of a gap but seemed to struggle with braking and into the RH corner after the back straight lost the back and half spun facing the inside. Had to reverse it onto the racing line to try and turn it round and just managed before the following guys came through. Sorry for causing you guys a heart attack coming round the corner!

Tyre wear wasnt high, only 5-7 but ws locking up more and more, not the fronts tho!

This meant i was in rather close company for the last few laps, and sadly managed to lose it to nsfast.

Good fun, thanks all!
