To finish first, first you must have fins.

LOL, only lasted a few laps before smacking into Chicane 1. Haven't enjoyed any of the Enna races so far, but each to their own, those times at the front were utterly astounding. Hope you managed to finish the race, see you at the next race.

Hi well I was going ok, had to run through the debris of other peoples accidents several times and then (I may have brushed tyre chicane) it did the harry potter thing and took off into the sky lol. I hit the tyres on sunday and got away with a nose replacement so think it was a bug . see you all next time.

amazingly finished the race and got 9th place Had to drive through numerous exploding cars at chicane 1 somehow surviving each time without collecting anything and just chased on after TT and Mark Mc ahead of me. Think there were only 13 finishers out of 23+ ? so usual mayhem for this track. Well done to the podium guys with their alien car handling here

Race went quite well, I think having JR filling my mirrors was not helping me one bit. Jeffrey drove a great race and earned himself the win. Was a bit warm too. Well done to all finishers. PS: Sorry for overtaking at the last minute Jan, as I hadn't intended to, but you braked a bit earlier than expected and it's Jeffrey's fault for being so damn fast down that back straight.

Decided to take the GTC for the remainder of the season, as I've been driving the RSR everywhere and I wanted to do something different. I didn't even hate the car that much. I basically have a setup which I used for all the cars (Viper, C5R, GTC, Viper CC) . I was surprised about my qually time, definatly better than I hoped. I was on pole for a short time, untill Leuven took it from me. That didn't surprise me at all, as I know he is extremely quick here I could follow him around for half the race untill I had one scary moment at Schumacher. Did a wheely and the rail came very very close . The gap was 10s then and I thought it was over. But some things made the gap smaller and we were facing a cracking end. With 2 laps to go I could overtake Leuven as he made a mistake at Schumacher. I was driving like a slowcoach through the 2 chicanes after that, losing alot of time, but just trying to survive . I was surprised about the straightline speed of the GTC, it's just the acceleration that isn't as good as the RSR.

Much to my surprise, tonight made it 3 good races at Enna for me . Manage to avoid usual first few laps of carnage and began to enjoy mini battle with Bernie. Couldn't stop laughing at the way his morgan was even more twitchy than mine . Real shame you came a cropper so early. Then had some great fun with some rejoining RSR's and Fezza's. Feared that you would get caught out by my earlier braking and twitchiness but hats off to all of you for some very fair stuff. Especially to chong who had me beat but, I think, hit the tyres rather than hit me Those around me should be credited for making racing possible at a horror track by being sensible and incredibly fair.

That the most errors I have made in one single race for a while. Had a good qual setting a PB to just pip my old nemisis Purdie . Was on meds so took it very easy to start with and ended up in a scrap with purdie and baracus and PRibiero. Up to 3rd at one point after some spins. Made a mistake and Pribiero was shot past as his car was setup like a rocket ship down the straights. Then following PRibiero Baracus was attacking. I completely forgot which tyre chicane we were approaching and guessed wrong. Lined up on the wrong side of the track completely confusing Baracus and the invitable happend and we were both in the gravel. Sorry mate! Got going again and then after another incident was chasing PRibiero again. Back end got very loose and I straddle the kerbing at the first chicane and teamie Mo went by. Just following Mo when the backend was really all over the place and round it came again, TT and Mark Mc went by in their battle. Just followed them and Mark Mc spun at last corner so ended up 7th I think?? Congrats to podium. Good race all.

Race went quite well, I think having JR filling my mirrors was not helping me one bit. Jeffrey drove a great race and earned himself the win. I was thinking the opposit. When I overtook you with 2 laps to go, I felt like I was robbing you of a deserved win. Somehow it didn't feel right. PS: Sorry for overtaking at the last minute Jan, as I hadn't intended to, but you braked a bit earlier than expected and it's Jeffrey's fault for being so damn fast down that back straight. Lol. yeah, the GTC really loves a draft. Didn't expect that at all, as I had to lift off a few times as the GTC was just so much quicker when following a RSR closely
