Had a bit of fun with Jam there at the start but went off far too often and lost my splitter resulting in a trip to the pits.... I apologise to all that came upon my carcass! Happened again later on as well but decided not to bother getting another splitter that late in the race (mechanics were probably gone home at that stage ) Great fun though (got a PB for the track so I'm very happy indeed) and congrats to Leuven, first time you lapped me I though to myself "where the hell are the others?"

Great times set by the fast guys, unbelievable fellas, well done. (please send me your setups ) Qualed in an OK 9th, thought I should have gone a bit quicker but just couldn't put it together. Soon found myself up to 6th after some first lap spins. Pops then disconnects (bad luck mate) and I'm in an underserved 5th place, which is where I finished. Overall a very quiet race, managed to keep it on the track and picked up a few places. Big thanks to the backmarkers for pulling out of the way, especially Don and Edza. So 2 races to go and 3rd/4th/5th couldn't be closer, anything could happen, should make a good end to the season.

Bl¤¤dy hell, I don't know what was happening. Qualified 2nd with a decent time and my first spin was even before the esses in lap 1. Don't know why, started cautious, or so I thought. Well, then it just went worse. Spins, contacts with fence, contacts with other players, mistakes at every corner, pushing too hard. SOOOORY to all whom I spoiled their race, please contact moderator, I plea guilty. I think M@arko went to grass, so not to hit me, I punted Gerald off (you were a bit too cautious ), Tyf and Jam were going out of their way for me, thanks, and also all backmarkers were more than fair. How I came 6th in the end I really don't know. Funny thing is, the car was waaaay slower than in the training and I checked the setup before the race - it was the right one. My fastest lap in the race was almost 2 sec slower than in training, so I don't know what was it. Anyway, this will be the race to forget!

Congrats to Leuven on the win - looked like a lonely race up there Tough but rewarding race for me, after qualifying 3rd and inheriting 2nd when TT went wide, I eventually had a whole bunch of spins myself which dropped me to 8th? at one stage. Had a good scrap with Shark for the last few laps and it was hairy enough with both of us having understeer due to tyre wear. Well happy with 3rd in the Porsche which is no match for the 360s around Oschers. AAARGH!

I was behind you struggling to close the gap and then all of a sudden you were gone Gutted for you Pops and was really looking forward to some scrapping with you when/if I caught you.

Had a reasonably poor qualy, just couldnt get a clean lap and whenever i was on a flyer someone lost it in front of me forcing a back off or lost time and qualied 12th in the end. Race went well, nabbed a few places on first few laps from spinnning cars and got upto 6th i think at one point, and right behind greg and keeping a good steady pace for about 20 minutes. But then coming upto lap a backmarker through the fast 'S' bends, he lost it in front of me forcing me to lift off, which inevitably caused me to spin off at a fast rate of knots Had to sit in gravel watching a train go by but rejoined in 12th or 13th. Then fought my way back up the field until i caught Ginsters. We then had a superb tight race, lap after lap, almost right to the end with me glued to his rear wing. He finally ran wide with about 4 minutes left on the clock and i gratefully claimed a hard earned 7th place Thats a tricky circuit and a tough race, always able to catch anyone out...except Leuven in his red rocket 360 Top drive mate.

Not bad race but not so great lap times in my 911 RSR. Alot of it is on exit speed so 911 always gonner struggle here..
Nice win Leuven, well held!! I was starting to push you Shark in Morgan, specially as Mo was lingering and then I went for fast final turn and spun it. Couldn't figure out where to push harder for a pass, brain dead but I rekon final turn was only chance to get close and then go for side by side into T1 which slows us both down and then Mo jumps us both on exit taking second lol, that's life.. i'm disappointed I couldn't hold that final turn.

Did someone swap the track when I went for pi** during warm up? Felt like I was driving on ice , I had more offs than TT. Still managed a great battle with Mark, tiptoeing into every corner, holding him up and then getting on gas early. Thanks for your patience, sure I was getting slower every lap. Probably the only time in my life I will do something Senna like. Gutted for you pops, but hey enduro 2 will soon be here. Looking forward to getting it on.

Oschersleben is one circuits where the Morgan is disadvantaged the least, so was expecting to do quite well. After Mo and TT's early offs i was amazingly in 2nd after qualifying in 4th. Took it pretty easy as I knew the tyres would go at about 30 mins and Oschersleben pays to be smooth and use less of both feet. Rich A sat behind me 1.5 - 2.5 secs for the first 30 mins. After we both took it realitively easy in the first few laps I kept waiting for him to challenge me in his surely faster GT3, but it never came which was slightly perplexing, guessing he had something in the bag for a late challenge (like working tyres ). Eventually Mo came back and as Rich kindly made way off the circuit for him (what were you thinking?! u were my protection against Mo ) Mo then caught me, but made another mistake with 4 laps to go and gave me a 5 second cushion. Unfortunately I was having to take it real easy cause of the tyres and knowing that staying on was my best bet at keeping 2nd, I hit a massive load of traffic and my 2nd place lead was slashed. Mo caught me on the last lap and tried a daring move round the outside with 2 turns to go. Unfortunately we touched as he went by and he went into a half spin giving me back 2nd. Good race. Well done Leuven, untouchable again.

Yea I know can't believe I spun.. well didn't actually spin, was one of those snap oversteer on power in one direction a little and then 90 degrees in the other direction. Car was bit too eager to get on the power diff!! Can't complain with 4th though, that's twice in a row you managed to get my position Mo ..
