Anyone who thinks they lost a lap because of the finish line bug (even with the fix installed), file an incident report as normal - preferably with an indication of which lap you lost, which hopefully we can identify from the lap chart - and we'll look into it and give any missing laps back.

Wow. I don't know where to begin. We decided for the Saleen only a couple of days ago,and that was probably not a good idea. I like the way it drives and sounds,but didn't know all the quirks it had until today. I'm very sorry for driving like an a** I can't even begin to count how many NGTs I passed only to out-brake myself . Almost hitting some of them. At the end I got what I deserved after yet again out-braking myself I got bumped in the rear and spun 'round. Lost my 6th place there. Found out in the end that it was my brakes overheating . Didn't have time to study my gtr pd before the end. Wish I'd known before. Ossie: sorry for smashing into you, I thought you were going to stay still until we had passed, I kinda panicked and hit you in the back But I must say this: The Saleen with the V8 sound pack installed . w00000t I found the car I wanna drive now. My god, it's so damn addictive to hear that V8 rumble and scream. Bass on the subwoofer set to max and crank the volume up..YEAH My heart is still pumping from all the adrenaline

Pretty good race for me; Picnic effectively let me by at the start after trying to start in the wrong gear; after that it was a matter of trying to stay in touch with the 911s ahead and out of the way of the GT boys of whom there seemed to be an awful lot! Managed to peg the gap back to Picnic at about 2-3 seconds until we started getting lapped; my softs were holding up well and I pitted at half distance for more, passing a few in the process but not gaining enough time to make any real impression on Luke Mustoo ahead, who I could almost match on pace but never stood any real chance of catching. Darren gave me a real hard time for a few laps, getting alongside at one point but I wasn't having any of that. Ossie made a nuisance of himself in the Lambo, passing me then going off and then repeating until eventually I think he gave up in disgust. Second in class (again!) is a really good result for my championship aspirations although I can't help but wonder if I'd have been so lucky without Adam's problems...

This was a funny old race for me, filled the tank to the brim hoping to pass a few in the pit stops. But was knocked off the track by a few GT's trying to pass through the corner's, trouble was my 911 was in the way! please pass on the straight you guys GT's have a lot more power than us NGT's Had a little tangle with Picnic toward the end of the race, which ended up in a big crash and my car going up in flames No worries though I was just about to run out of the old jungle juice anyway. Cheers for hosting and congrats to Luke & Locutos for the win

had to take avoiding action due to an ngt giving me room to pass then closing me down and ended up in in to a barrier, car needed work and an unscheduled stop took me to the back end of the grid. Worked hard to get back to seventh and lost it on a bend, looked behind let a few cars pass got on to the track and fishtailed for a bit and saw the car in eighth approaching at speed and eased off to let him passed but he hit me square on in the rear. Pushed hard to gain time as I needed to pit again for fuel. Due to me needing to pit again and the gt in eighth was approaching me rapidly flashed and let him by. Pitted again for fuel, damn car took an age to start. Lost loads of places again and ended up in the middle of ngt's. Some gave me plenty of room others none, went wide on a corner and ended in the gravel and for some strange reason no damage but my wheel was 90 degrees out which caused me a few problems and started losing places to ngt's again. Count down timer got to zero and finished my lap chequered flag appeared and i pulled off the track and hit escape. s**t DNF? What was that all about?
