Race ruined by two ridiculous stop and go penalties one minute i am running 4th/5th having a great 4 car battle with those around me, then the next i'm relegated to the back of the field from stupid penalty. The cut warnings suck. The first one was because i took to the escape road at first chicane when legz and gazza had some kind of coming together in front of me and i had nowhere to go, i slowed almost to a stop and made sure i gained no places in the lane to avoid any warnings but it gave me an instant S&G  The second one was at the same first chicane, my brakes snatched under hard braking with the extreme hot track temp of 41 degrees, pitched me rearward across first kerbs...and hey presto, another instant stop and go.  Crazy.  That put me well out of contention and a lap down to the leaders. I lost all enthusiasm and started making mistakes but wanted to see the race through in case it rained or other surprises and was loving the night driving. Then when i got spat into the wall off a kerb and smashed the front of the car up and both lights, i quit in exasperation.  Loved the night time lighting, it looked awesome and made a great new angle for an endurance event. I can only imagine it got better as the sun started to come up. The cars and track looked superb with headlights and track lighting.  Just sort the bloody cut warnings out ! |

bad luck, disco after the pits, fighting for fourth.
BUT before this, one of the most enjoyable races of my entire life, big duels with almost everybody, (and one too optimistic move on the second lesmo, sorry pal)
Nice drive from everybody, willing to repeat asap.
I love this league!

Miserable quali and race for me Didn't get a clean quali lap and found myself behind GT3 polesitter API. Didn't want to risk a move and he was too quick anyway, so sat behind him until I was eventually caught by some GT2 guys that had spun out on lap 1. Lost it into Para a couple of times and took heavy damage which I had repaired, but by that time I'd had enough. Did a few more laps but decided to esc rather than get in the way. Bad bad luck ginsters I hope you decide to persevere. Just think how much worse I'd be without your help  |

Bad luck with the discos and some such. Well, Gallardo just won't do.  Very unstable car, had so many spins and rookie mistakes... More than Season 2, I think. Have to pick something else. Was on the verge of quitting in disgust, had a stop/go as well. Then I put 1 liter too few fuel and stopped in the middle of Parabolica...  Grats to winners. Bad day for Legends. |

Well, I've never liked this track anyway....thats my excuse...and I'm sticking to it!!! Hope I don't spend anywhere near as much time in the gravel on my trackday at Donnie GP tomorrow, or I'll be most upset. Gratz to poduim, bad luck teamies SBG and GoldTop, reckon ginsters could have won tonight. See you all next week.

Unlucky with the PC SBG. I'm sure you'd have won that race I had no practice before this race but because it was Monza I thought I'd give it a whirl, all you gotta do is remember your braking markers...But I'd never raced here in the dark  All was ok in the end tho'. The F430 seems so easy to setup and drive. My setup was pretty rubbish but because the tyre wear is so small with this car it didn't really matter just put the splitter wing to 1-1 and went on my way. Unlucky to all those last lap disasters Picnic, TT, H@L and Stewprovo Take F430 TT it handles like a dream |

Race (EDIT) by two ridiculous stop and go penalties You and me both, man. Well, didn't ruin my race as both were in the final 5 minutes, so I still got a lot of fun out of the race. Spun coming into the pits too  The little Beemer was really nice on the tires, only had wear to 10 on the left front at the halfway mark, around 6 on the others. Changed them anyway as I wanted to fix my headlight. Sorry about getting in your way with my other spin, Prof or Peter. |

About the only positive from that is no stop/go penalties which I feared the most.
However I loaded the wrong setup for the race after qually which left me a badly handling, slow car which never revved anywhere near the red line.
Well done to podiums and all those faster than me (everyone I mean).

Nice race. The dark was much fun.  I was having a great chase with Simon for about 35 mins or so. He was faster in the second half of the lap and I caught up again in the first. This made for a great fight in which I found it very hard to make a pass. I almost had it once but went straight off. Very consistent Simon. I was having to concentrate very hard. I eventually missed my braking point on the last corner and lost loads of time. :'( I took an early stop for repairs and fuel and got the fuel amount short by 1L. I ran out of fuel on the S/F line of the last lap and Gazza took the place.  I was really hoping you would back off enough not to do that last lap John.  oh well. One cut warning on lap 1. LOL. No actual stop and go until about lap 39/40. Well done podiums. Unlucky disco sufferers. More night races please. |
