Tricky track this, there isnt a flat section anywhere. Struggling a bit braking and turning in with the cambers pitching me all over the place.

HIgh 22's with race fuel so far. Tried the M4 which I thought would be good here, but I'm quicker in the Viper Shame about these naff chicanes. Oulton in it's original layout was a classic track to me, even if it was dangerous

I'm down to mid 21s in the 997 now. Very difficult to hook up an optimum lap here as there are so many areas to gain/lose time, which could produce a few surprises come quali. Cascades is always slightly scarey and it's so easy to lock up into the hairpin or run too hot into Lodge. Should be a cracker

What a great race. Amazed to quali P2 Had a comfortable race setup so I was confident of not making too many mistakes. Then on lap 2 I put a wheel on the grass at Avenue and was pulled into the barrier. That'll be confidence then This allowed H@L and TT to pass, but I was able to gain back third when TT made a slight mistake. There followed a few laps of battling with TT until we were both caught by Greg who'd made his way through the field at a remarkable rate. He passed TT and I was expecting a similar swift fate, but amazingly I was able to hold him off probably thanks to my skillful awkward driving style Don't think I've ever felt that much pressure in a race before and full marks to Greg for being so patient with me. My countdown was still showing time for a couple more laps when Greg shaped up for a move into Lodge, which was enough to scare me off Had I realised it was the final lap, I might have toughed it out and took my first GTR2 pody, but I had to make do with 4th :'( which is still by far my best finish Congrats to API, H@L and Greg and thanks all for a terrific race Oh and don't forget, we're back here soon in the cats in Race 07 land....should be a corker..... https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=8346#event2422

Nothing exciting.... Well I had plenty of fun. Got a bit previous onthe throttle in Old Hall, and went grasstracking so lost a few places, but had great fun catching and passing Laz, Spanner, and Legzy, then hunted down TT at a couple of tenths a lap, then would drop back for one reason or another, and slowly catch again. Last lap in Lodge GT went off and Apex and TT went tippy toeing round, might have made up another place if I hadn't stuck it in 1st and spun myself Great chase TT, was surprised that big clumsy viper was competitive round here, but I had a hoot.

The race was interesting for me even though I did not really have any cars near me for most of the race. GTs mistake on lap1 gave me 2nd, unlucky mate, we could have had a good fight then. After that I was just watching the gaps constantly until the end. API just drove off into the distance. The gap behind me was my main concern. The worrie of it not being any bigger than 7 seconds kept me on my toes and I feel quite worn out for a 40min race. Well done podiums. See you all at the next race.

Nothing exciting.... Well I had plenty of fun. Sorry buddy, just how I felt. I got overtaken three times, each because I made a size-able mistake when not under any real pressure(putting at least two wheels off track) & overtook just two people... who had also gone off track again not under pressure. The drive was fine, it was just lacking as a 'race' for me tonight. Very pleased that others enjoyed
