Hello Guys, any benchmark timing for the Track ?
Hmm depends which car you take on a long fast track like this one. And it's endurance not sprint so lap times seem less important. |

I managed to join for this one although I thought I would have to miss it. I messed up my two qualifying laps so decided to start near the back. I was surprised to qualify eight but even my best practice lap in the 3:56’s would not have improved my grid position. I decided to be cautious and hopefully benefit from any carnage that might occur. I was trying to get into a rhythm and put in some steady laps but on lap two got a tap from Clive on a right-hand bend that sent me flying off the track. After about half a minute of tumbling though the air I realised that I must have left the earth’s atmosphere and was now in space, so I quit. Ah well, the best laid plans…. Thought I had a good pit stop strategy, now I will never know. Grats to winner and podiums.  |

Sorry Misnomis  You really caught me out at Masta, but entirely my fault as I was the car behind..  Still screwed up the pitstop...had been planning to just do fuel as the tyres looked like they might just last the race...but that's what Vettel thought!!  |

Also managed to screw up Pitstop, despite two practice stops in the morning. Second enduro here that I've run out of fuel. Good bit, new PBs! |

Smooth but sole endurance race at the back of the pack for me - love this track (one of my all time favs) and the cars too. Tried the small Maser but found that the DB2 is easier to handle on this track. Couldn't match my personal best (3:57) but that doesn't matter. Made my pit stop after lap 8 with 3 l left in the tank , so I tried to save fuel during the second half of the race as it was clear in a very early stage that I would fnish in last or penultimate place - but 5th after all. Great fun - thanks for organizing to all involved. |

Very disappointing to go out without completing at least one lap. This circuit always catches me out so huge respect to all those who managed to see the chequered flag. Strange to see so many regulars missing from this one. Hopefully they will all return for the next round. BTW it was a real treat to watch the race and see those great cars being so well driven  |
