Space allowing - I'll be there .... but as I've not done a great deal of races in GT cars at Magny, can somebody give me an idea of a "middle of the pack" laptime?

We'll be using the "old" server tonight, so max 24, but as Zacari says, was only 16 last week anyhow.

Really disappointing this one Qualified 8th. Last qualifying lap I was about half a second faster but I ran out of fuel At the first lap I was going into Nurburgring and hit the bollards, spun out and rejoined last. After a few laps I was running 12th again but I think my car sustained some damage from the crash in lap 1. Let's hope the next one will go better

I forgot how tyre comsuming GTs are. Was ok (except for punting Greg, sorry again) tyres were fine, then 5 min before end - snap, no more rubber. Spinned 3 times in those ending (long) minutes, only able to finish and keep 5th place for 3 seconds I think. I prefer NGT. Btw, what means U E/S 1/2 RoC ?

That was hard work .... hit something I couldn't see in lap one and somersaulted, was way back after that, span a few times so my tyres were cooked....
Managed to keep out of most people's way I think (apologies if I slowed anyone down - Jonzo in particular)....but I'd best get practicing for the next round.

FANTASTIC!
CONGRATULATIONS ZACARI ON YOUR POLE AND WIN.
Was fantastic to have a Team Shark 1 - 2. Wow! Yeee haaaw!
What a race! What a blast! Was non stop action from start to finish with top 3 or 4. Was amazing racing and such high standard of driving. Just fantastic. Shame only 15 GTs this race, they are such a hoot when it all comes together, really great stuff.
I had a hell of a job keeping No25 behind me but my cool head saw me through in the end. I had nothing like the pace of Zacari or No25 but consistancy is king and I managed to hold the lead for quite some time through sheer consistancy of driving. My best lap during the race was about 7th or 8th, but nearly every lap the same.
My tyres were shot to shit at the end of the race. With 5 - 10 minutes left even with great tyre management and no lock ups or anything it was so so difficult driving the car. Was a real challenge, but knew the F550s were struggling too so stuck it out with grit and determination that I would not let Zacari down and finish in 2nd spot for a Team Shark 1 - 2.
Was not feeling confident going in as have always been a little off the pace at Magny Cours. Played around with the setup from about 8pm right through to qualifying, till finally I had something I was relatively happy with. Pulled a 1:34.5 out of nowhere to take 2nd on the grid and with Zacari on pole was looking very good. Didn't know what No25s pace would be in the race but knew I had to drive consistently and brake late into the hairpin every lap to keep him behind.
The first few laps were hectic with Greg, Zacari, myself and No25 at the front, just amazing stuff. Then Zacari ran wide into the first lot of sweeping fast bends and I took a very suprising lead. Saw that Zacari had recovered well into 4th and tried to back the pack up a little to let him catch up to the group. Easier said than done, was difficult doing that and keeping eyes on road and keeping No25 and Greg behind.
Led for quite some time as the guys fought it out behind me and I was able to hold the lead reasonably comfortably with them losing time fighting each other. Then about two thirds through the race I was under severe pressure every lap from No25, he finally made a great move into one of the final slow speed corners and was past. Soon after Zacari was right on my tail and went passed down the straight out of my slipstream. I didn't fight him at all into the hairpin wanting him to catch up with No25 as he had more chance than I (that's what team mates do), but No25 made a mistake into the hairpin and both me and Zacari were through.
Played out exactly as I wanted, but still a job to do. Keep No25 behind me and get that fabulous Team Shark 1 - 2. Well i did it - JUST. Was a fantastic battle and my tyres were so shagged at the end was really hard work, but really rewarding to shout with joy at the end.
Great racing and thoroughly enjoyable, thanks Zacari, No25 and Greg, a privilege.
