Mexico was my first ever on-line race in GPL and I have to say that I have a bit of a soft spot for it.
Great result for SBRC with a fantastic win for John, a second for me (+28sec) and a great 5th for Syd, keeping Legzy at bay.
Geoffers had me under pressure the whole race and I was more than a little pleased to see the chequered flag.
I had a good start and was past Manteos off the line but the power of the Shelby saw him back in front by T1.
Tequilas all round in the SBRC motorhome tonight!

You'll no doubt be pleased to learn that in the team championship (only), I'll be awarded points as if I finished 4th This is because only the 1st two drivers of each team are valid point scorers. p.s. If Geoffers was not a member of any team, I'd have been pushed up to 3rd (in team point scoring only). p.p.s. I knew you'd be pleased. p.p.p.s. But yes, it was a good night for the Saggy Bottoms.

Yeh, I chased the whole race & never did get close enough to attempt a pass. For the first 3/4 of the race I seemed to be consistently 2s behind with Ade around 4-5s behind me. In the last 1/4 Ade made a mistake & dropped to about 9s back & tenth by tenth I started to gain on Clive until I got on the grass exiting T4 & lost a couple of seconds, pulled it back over the last 3 laps but was still about 1s adrift at the flag. Great driving Clive, never made a mistake I could capitalise on! Congrats to John & Clive

I had a slow start so a couple of cars passed me before T1, then I had a great battle with Matt after my half spin at hairpin L1 that cost me 3 spots more. The Mustang ATCC was faster on the straight and my GT350 was faster in the twisty bits so it was hard work to pass Matt till he faulted a gear, I think, out of the hairpin. We did side by side from T1 to the hairpin Later when I was catching Ade I had two big slides out of Peralta, the first put me on the pit rail without too much time lost, the second put me over the rail in the pitlane The following lap with a quite damaged car I got a BF for cutting and limped to the pit for S&G unaware that there was a pit speed limit so I got another S&G on the final lap and lost a lot of positions. :'( Anyway good fun. Ciao

First Stop & Go for cutting the track, than another Stop& Go for exceeding pit lane max speed... 40 km/h limit.............. Seems that I'm unable to finish a race in this period... it's better if I take a small break for some days. Cu at the end of next week I guess

Similar story for me, and I should know better Had seen cut track warnings in prac, so stayed safer in race and still got a stop/go, and then speeding in pits up to then had been good, dicing with Fulvio with some very grown up side by side stuff as he said, and with no contact I was aware of, good driving.

Great driving Clive, never made a mistake I could capitalise on! Congrats to John & Clive I was sweating cobs at the end of that race. I was really hoping that Ade would start to give you some agro and let me sneak off but it never happened. My tyres were just about shot at the end and I was being very careful at T1 so that I stayed clear of the Armco. Interestingly, Ade and I were the only two drivers not to have cut the track at some point. I guess that Matteo racked up three cuts on lap one but then he did have John all over him at the time and that can be a tad distracting.

Sorry to hear that Manteos, it was shaping up to be a good race until you had to pit Tricky track, this one. Clipped the polos a couple of times just as I was pulling out a lead. Clive must have wondered what I was playing at, keeping seeing me at T1

Sorry to hear that Manteos, it was shaping up to be a good race until you had to pit I was really under pressure when you was behind me, and in the mixed part of the track, the forced choice for the final gear of the GT350, was really penalizing at the exit of the hairpin, cause it takes a long time to accelerate under torque. That caused some mistakes at the exit of the subsequent left corner, that I approached on the inside line with the result of going wide every time, jumping the "sidewalk" at the exit a couple of times if I remember well. The second time I received the s&g. However I was exploiting all the track too badly, to say the least I should have some training session before the race for the next... and maybe I could have the chance to see the checkered flag Cu
