Had connection problems, and only got in with 5 minutes of qual left. Didn't have time to (re)learn the track, so decided to give this one a miss.

[Dave 'Gizmo' Gymer]

I'd shredded my tyres after half distance so it was just a matter of keeping it on the track. I'm sure I was 7th at one point so how I finished 8th when I don't remember anyone passing me for position I'm not sure?!

Towards the end I was focused on trying to catch and lap Oilseal but ran out of time and talent. Did some fantabulous doughnuts at the end there though until my right rear went pop.

First time id played GTL for a few months and god it felt slow at first after all the hours ive been spending on GTR2 lately.  Good race although it felt a bit short,  Just about stayed with Barracus for the first 5 or 6 laps before i made that school boy error of letting the car drift too wide out Clearways and ploughinhg through gravel for a hundred yards .   That let Assisano through but he then made a mistake and i got back past.  After that just drove round and round.
Love Brands you can always get a nice rythem round there.
Great driving by everyone and grats to Barracus.

Had a terrible start,   took turn wide and Gizmo capitailised. He then pulled away and there was no way I could catch him(well done). Madd appeared from somewhere think he may have had a coming together with someone.(Glad it wasn't me for a change).   He pitted then came back out and the last I saw of him was on the grass. I had a good little battle with Will for a good few laps. Will slightly nudged me wide and took the place then I returned the compliment(not intentionally honest) and took the place back and didn't see him again.  The rest of the race was me going around lap after lap with the odd car apperaing to lap me(think it was up to sixth).  Excellent pace p1 baracus for passing me twice (was delighted not). Think I need to keep practising. Thanks for the clean race lads cheers.

What a fantastic race that was !    Loved every minute of it. The track and car combination just oozed nostalgia.

How cool did that grid line up look on the formation lap through this great track?! Mind you, it was dying for a standing start on that nice big open straight and paddock bend. I've spent many a day on that bank watching the grid come hurtling down through there.
Clarey seemed to like that sand trap !

Had a superb long battle with Mag07 for lap after lap, swapping places a couple of times until unfortunately whilst glued together up in druids we brushed really slightly, but enough to spin him round   I came to a complete stop hoping he could spin back around quickly but then moved on. I slowed to let you catch a bit and was going to let you back past for another fight but could then see Tom Cooper catching you. Think you then binned it at paddock?

Was really confused to then find myself chasing Pribero as his car had been shown 7th last i saw it, behind me and Mag, his car was 'disco'd at cleaways for many laps, then wierdly came to life in front of me at the same spot ! So i didnt know if i was chasing a ghost car or an out of position one as his place number kept flicking between 4th and 7th 
Ghost or not he was moving fast so i chased him down and got a great over take move down the inside at Paddock and forged ahead...was very chuffed with that move
Then started to close down Assassino steadily, but not enough time left at end and brought it home a well deserved 4th  Might have been a podium with some more laps as had got a great rhythm going. 

Really enjoyed that, i hope we continue to keep a good GTL championship going. Maybe do some polls ? and see what everyones preference is for a future champ format so that we keep good numbers and attract others.
Top stuff

Graet race by all,congrats to podium,had a long,long battle with Mark J,but I think I was maybe holding you up abit :)you were faster through the bends which proberbly lead to the slight tap at the hairpin,if I'd only known you were wanting to pass me ,but no problem I'm only having fun and making the numbers up!

Still kicking myself for the off at Paddock,might have keeped the battle going all race

All in all great race,great racing and very happy with 6th,roll on next week

I don't know what it is, but i seem to appreciate GT Legends even more so than before GTR2 was released.
Had some really good close racing tonight, with Ossie, for the first 10 laps or so, then i decided to give him some of my paint, then he gave me some of his, and that was it then - lost control after two wheels went off the tarmac and onto the grass -  just catching up and had him in my sights on lap 41, but race over - good stuff Ossie 

Had a good battle with Coop also (can't remember which one as there were two), in the Team oldie Cortina - kept trying to find a place to pass, but he wasn't making it easy

I had PRiberio's car stationary on the track for a good few laps  - did anyone else see this, or was it just me?

Hope GTL keeps going at SROU
