We just sit there in the pits when qually starts and wait for you to weave your magic? When you have finished, then you kick it over to "RACE" and we can join the grid? |

absolutely gutted :'( my favourite race track and a glorious 70's racing car and im out the race on lap flipping 2.  Could kick myself, just hadnt done any full fuel laps due to lack of time  , and braked what i thought was early enough for tetre rouge but the car skidded on to the catch fencing, span and killed the engine :'( Couldnt believe it as normally the car would soldier on from that sort of hit. Bummer. It was so atmospheric too, with several of us slipstreaming, pulling out and in again down the mulsanne and 3 abreast into arnage, would have been a corker. Sobs into tea cup.... |

Really annoyed with myself.
I reached 3rd but couldn't quite catch Fulvio.
Then Daniele caught me and squeezed by at the last chicane on lap 8.
In response, I lost count of which corner I was at on the run to Indianapolis and put the damn thing on its roof.
4th to last in one easy move.
Bugger!
Grats to Giuseppe, Fulvio and Daniele

Great race.  Nice fight with Lagzy and Clive and a few others. I was fighting Clive for about 2 laps before I started to crack under the pressure. I did not feel confident enough to go through the kink at the end of the straight side by side with Clive.  Awesome stuff mate. I lost control several times and eventually acquired 95 second suspension damage which I decided to fix straight away. :'( Well done podiums and all finishers. |

Really funny that, how a track/car combo can be so dull to practice with, but then light up on race night.  Had an absolute corker, ah the joy of toe on long straights  Great fighting Ade & H@L mostly, but a couple of others too. absolutely gutted :'( my favourite race track
Sorry to hear that MJ, but console yourself knowing that we'll be back here in UKGTR2 in September  |

Mad rush to get over to France with my new car, then found it had no racing licence... Had to have the old one flown over, no time for practice, fluffed the start , tapped Alex into 2nd turn sorry for that, I had someone hovering around my tail. Fell off and took some damage watching Colin scrabbling around in the dirt... no worries Sandor, no damage just "what the!!!" Always a fun race here, even if it does get lonely sometimes. Like Legzy said. Got new car (PC) working now on line. need to sort steering and clutch, but seems smoother. |

A slow start, I was behind JPV who had a very slow start and all the quicker guys behind me zoomed past I gained a few places with people crashing out, but on lap 4, Sandor passed me on the kink so stayed wide, too wide and ended up on the grass and span into the barrier. I made a right hash of the rejoin, and Alex clipped me sorry...  . I waited to let him take the position but he seemed to be waiting for me and we both lost a place to JPV  I passed Sandor & JPV when they both had offs to leave me on my own, so just tried to do consistent fast laps but kept losing the back end in the Porsche curves and decided to bring her home in one piece. Hmmmm, these cars are tough to drive, they don't like the twisty sections...  |

I did not feel confident enough to go through the kink at the end of the straight side by side with Clive. Awesome stuff mate. The high spot of my race. It was great fun. Still kicking myself over my exit from the race and it took me all night to get to sleep after being such a plonker. I found these cars easier than the Mk2 GT40 that I had for the 3hr do. These had steering and brakes for a start. |

Sorry for the cofushion on the race announcement guys. When testing and assembling the race, I tried both the '77 and '79 versions. The wires got crossed in my brain when writing the announcement.
I was working in the city yesterday so I couldn't make the race. Many thanks to Legzy for stepping in and mangling the field.
Great to hear there was a lot of drafting action and close racing.
