Qualified 9th with a new pb, the race didn't start well for me held everyone up at the start and then when i did eventually get going I had a couple of collisions with simon gyner (sorry for that mate) think i managed to settle in to 12 or something then all the cars on the track started to dissapear and reapear then shortly after all the cars disappeared and didn't come back so i pulled over and escaped out. hope I didnt course any carnage for anyone when this happened and sorry if i have.

Well the rain didn't come! Qualified 6th I think, Had a 2 car train behind me this time. I was struggling to get the car to turn in, the tire wear on the front left was about 2 higher than the rear, however the lefts were at the 20's. Perhaps I should have ran Hard fronts. Was catching 2 beamers near the end of the race however I wasn't going to catch them in time. One of them went off or something. Finished 8th. Didn't really expect much anyways. Congrats to Busi, Gazza and TT on the podium.

Quali went well, ended up 5th with a slightly slower than PB. After first couple of laps pressure from Napo, pulled about 3 secs on pack behind. Stayed like that for most of race, intil about 10 mins to go, then RoadRunner started to close in at about 3/10th's a lap as my med fronts went off. managed to hold him off for the last 2 laps with him basically attatched to my rear bumper, great close, safe driving mate . That's easily the best race I've ever driven , no spins, not overtaken, no off track adventures. Gratz to the alien podium , cant wait to come back here next season

Frustrating race really... Looking at the old records I thought 1:48.5 would be a pretty good time with the 360 GTC, though in qualy I was a few tenths above that. But all those addon cars are so much faster... it's silly. Although the F430 looks nice from the outside, the interior is so horrible I can't stand racing it Made a mistake at the first corner after a couple of laps, then the chasing begun and it was pretty fun while it lasted because after overtaking Dave a few corners further my engine blew up :'(

What an action packed race No chance to rest at all. Sorry about the taps Napo but you were horribly slow around the slow stuff holding me up but you would stretch the legs down the straight! Then dropped back and had a brilliant race with Lazlow for quite a few laps with us barely half a sec apart for most of it until we came together around Stowe dropping us back then after Legzy tripped over a slow Picnic I managed to get past eventually but couldnt quite catch Legz who had sped off, almost catching Steve. Not a good race points wise but i still enjoyed it

Disco for me also. Anyone know what causes these Lots of potential things - could simply be that your ADSL or cable connection dropped. Have you got a log on your modem/router that would tell you that? Or was it not just a disco but the game crashing? Oh and apologies to Dave.....I lost it through Abbey and collected you on the way out. No problem - I could see you were about to go off but hoped I could squeeze by on the left but as often happens at Abbey you ended up coming back across. That bent the front a bit but even after 57gt disco'd, with Jimmie still behind - and then in front - I had something to race for. But then his engine went and I was 30+ seconds back from the next car and losing time to it, so I decided to turn it into practice for Sunday and do a pit stop. Threw a fresh set of mediums on and had the splitter fixed and came back out just ahead of Shark; let him by whilst my tyres were cold but was then able to follow him quite easily with my fresh tyres and a car that worked again. Spoiled the end of the race by dipping a wheel off on the exit of Priory and had to wait for the whole field to go by to rejoin. Then spun again coming out of Luffield on the last lap. Not exactly a vintage performance but at least it's given me a working knowledge of the car for Sunday.
