An unexpected bonus to do this biased to guarantee a Porka wins race tonight, I've always liked Lime Rock in every car/sim I've tried, so I'll do my best to shine in the poor little Fezza

Rookie mistake. Lost it in the chicane, puncture. Pitted and instead of "no fuel" picked "no tyre change". Couldn't believe what I did and exited pits still with full head of self disgust. Apologize to API who hit me while chasing Jon. My mistake, sorry.

Please pick this track without chicane next time.

Something happened on lap 20something, ran wide on last corner, got onto opposite side of road on the grass and at 120 computer decided i was pitting in and cut to cockpit view and crashed me into a wall.

Great race everyone, Z4 was a lovely drive round here, but just totally lacked the straight line speed. I was also stick shifting this race, which was really enjoyable, but clearly the combo of Z4 and stick shift shifting here wasn't working for me and meant I was about 4-5 secs a lap off the pace

I was pretty happy with qually but struggled to get to grips with the car when It was light, when I threw the softs on I just span out everywhere. They would've prolly worn out before I could get them up to to temp anyway
 A bit of a scruffy first half of the race for me. I think I was trying to go faster than my qually lap and took too many risks. After my pit stop I just went at 95% and was more consistent. The 997 was certainly the class of the field, I think I may take something else for the next one.

Well done finishing the race stick shifting Jams Nice effort

Was nice to have a race back here and I'll look forward to more races this season

Nice race all

race started ok for me and was picking up spots as people ran wide, then i made a few mistakes and started slipping down the order again, then i ran wide a couple of corners before the run up to the hill before the chicane and suddenly seemed to be a lap down from everyone else (i ran very wide and seemed to be on the grass for ages before i regained the track, so may have got penalty for cutting corner but i thought you get a drive through penalty for that sort of thing?)

just kept going after that slipping further behind everyone else

NP, TT. I didn't even get any significant damage.   Bad luck that your race ended there.

Well, that kind of race this time, lol. After the incident with TT, I just continuously ran corners wide and had a few spins here and there. Sorry if any of those silly mistakes had an influence on someone's race. Anyway, I had fun and hope that everyone else had too. Congratulations for Jon and nsfast.

bit of a disaster for me. Had spent a few hours getting a race setup that i was reasonably happy with, but hadnt done any low fuel runs nor noticed the 2x fuel statement. So qualied about 3rd from back which is a hindrance on such a tight track.

But race start was fine, had good battles with several cars around me and when i finally cleared the rear pack i soon pulled out a 5+ sec lead working upto 7th and a good 10+ sec lead at the pitstops. As usual, thats where it all went wrong for me. I got a stop & go for pitlane speeding and didnt take enough fuel onboard for the 2nd stint. Sadly, at that point, as it meant dropping to dead last and no chance of catching the leaders...we need safety car periods to close the field back up !  , combined with an ongoing neck nerve problem, i thought it best to retire. 

Good turnout though and the racing was tough, close and competitive.    Congrats to the maestro Jon on his win

Tricky race, frustrating as i never got comfortable with the car, the times just didnt seem to come like when i was practising on friday. Api kept falling off behind me as he was clearly faster then me but gained on me then fell off again! Sorry if i put you off. But i just couldnt keep pace with those ahead, even H@L got through during the stops and sailed away from me. Even getting lapped twice by Jon! Oh the shame

Haha, no worries mate. That was just me making stupid mistakes by my own.

... even H@L got through ... Oh the shame
