Not another great race for me I'm afraid. I liked the circuit, and just about managed a 2.05 in practice over the last couple of days which I was happy with. I wasn't anywhere near that sort of pace today. Was really struggling with the conditions in quali and of course the race. (Really sorry to Jon, (I think) for the slight contact on the formation lap ) I had a couple of spins and thought it best I quit before I did anything else stupid. Hope you all had a good race.

Tough circuit and tougher still in damp conditions Kept it together to finish 13th/14th I think, some great battles along the way, Gymer brothers and a couple of others, all clean stuff, tyres were shot towards the end, I think I was driving on fabric on the fronts. Sorry to see you go out TT, you seem to be slicing through the field

Never really driven here before today and had only managed to do an hour of practice. Had good speed but made silly errors. Sorry if I made some bad rejoins Spent the second half trying to gain experience and not get in anybodys way. Collected TT in one of my spins, I clipped the bridge and it pushed my car back on track. Sorry TT

Great race again. Sorry to Napo, who I knocked off the track. It was a shame because Busi was NOT building a massively comfortable cushion of time like he normally does. Lots of battles after that. A good one with Napo and another good one with spanner and mr_oily Love the track but, I bet mt lap record was beaten Well done podiums Shame TT

fun but frustrating race got ctd in practice and then again 5 mins before the end of quali. Managed to reset the computer in time (just to be safe) and i started near the back without a time along with a few other ctd victims. Managed to get up to 10th in the race and had some really fun battles! Had a great tussle with Truetom and I was on his backside when we came across Jose who made contact with him so I pulled a gap. Then I made a mistake and TT was on my backside and I couldn't pull a gap A few laps after...... Jose ran wide onto the grass and hit a wall bouncing across the track ... I just missed him but TT had a full on T-bone (that didn't sound right hahahaha ) crash with Jose which put him out. I then spun myself and damaged my front suspension, I tried limping back to the pits to get it repaired but was quite slow and started holding people up so I quit The Aston handled beautifully on soft/med and the track was awesome ....looking forward to the 997 RSR in the enduro

That was quite fun. I re-joined late and lost my (good for me) lap time starting at the back. I had some fun trying to keep Shark Boss behind me whilst picking off some spinners. Everytime Shark got past he seemed to make a mistake at the next corner and I regained the place. Hope I wasn't too far in the way boss. I kept a steady pace to the end before making a noobie error on the last corner and giving a place for free to Jorgen. Still ten places gained from qually is a good show for me.

Love the track but, I bet mt lap record was beaten hehe it was, I managed a high 1:59 in race didnt expect that really. I practiced yesterday cause I didn't have time today. Joined and was into the 2:00's until I managed a nice low 1:59 in quali (thank god the track was almost dry! ) Jose started very aggressive from 2nd and overtook me into the 2nd corner, but a mistake let me back at the lead to keep it till the chequered flag. Perfect race. Love the track, could've been lapping around for 3 hours

Nothing to add, really. I'm just a bit sad that instead of attacking a Champ title I got DNF.

Tonight seemed a bad night for CTDs Combination of new cars and 3rd party track? First one I've had in a very long time, then missed the start because I don't think my Start button every went green so I could join As there are no upcoming P&G races, can I suggest uninstalling it from the server for the next week? I'd be more inclined to think that it's the clients with this problem. The server has a completely separate copy of GT2 with the PnG mod installed in to that. That GTR2 and the GTL practive server are shutdown prior to starting a fresh GTR2 for the actual race event.

I needed to have spent time practising here to spot some obvious problems with the setup, not least of which was front brakes which never really warmed up. Still, 12th wasn't a bad result in the circumstances and I only had a few stupid offs. Great battle with Jorgen's DBR9 in particular.

To finish first, first you must have fins.

another GT1 round for me to forget Only myself to blame as didnt manage to put in a single lap of practise in a GT1 car here. (i ran some laps last week in a GT2) and wasnt intending to race tonight, but decided to run late on. Used my spa setup with a couple of minor tweaks to suit the damp, but the C6 understeered like a cruise liner. Spent most of the race near the back of the grid after two ctd's in qually, and then a couple of early offs in the damp at start of race. Ctds seem to reach epidemic proportions during qually Nice track, must be awesome in an ALMS car, especially the prototypes Looking forward to running the RSR here as i felt pretty quick in praccy here last week.
