    I survived!! I had good fun trying to catch blindman until the first stop, then just after I pitted the weather came and I had no idea whether to pit again or not. I ended up coming in for intermediates after a while and it didn't feel very fast but I just stuck with it until the track dried out. Sorry for those who I impeded during the race, I wasn't trying to get in the way, I just got caught out trying to get out the way where I should have just stuck to my line. Thanks for letting me race tonight!

    Well the positives were I had a good battle with tb all race long (I think) and I was quick in the rain was an enjoyable race apart from one thing.

    Yeah well I don't think I will be racing this again unfortunately, I love the series but when I have serious lag issues it's not enjoyable for me or anyone racing me thanks to Jason for putting the series on but as I said I can't continue with this.

    Sorry zharves. I hit the Armco coming out of Au Rouge and had so much damage I could only do 5kmph, couldn't even get off the track. I then realised i was missing a front wheel.Sorry for ruining your race mate.

    Great race tonight, timed my first stop perfectly just as the rain started but sitting stationary for about 15 seconds while I stuffed around with pit stop settings let mike jump me into the lead. Jason pitted about 2 laps before the rain started putting him back to third. I caught mike pretty quick and finally managed to get by and build a lead of about 6 seconds but after a few moments late in the rain stint Jason finally caught up.

    I was quickly running out of fuel and was glad to see the rain stop on my final lap so I pitted straight behind Jason for some sorts and about 30L of fuel. I must have had the wrong tyre pressures in when I pitted cause my three didn't go over about 73 degrees for the final 8 laps costing me about 6 seconds a lap and spun at the end of kemmel straight letting mike by.

    Thanks again Jason for all your work on this series and to everyone who stuck it out.

    Well, a very interesting race. Congrats to the podium, great effort.-, now It's all about me.
    Qualified 4th with a 2:01, could have done a little better but I was happy to stick with that.
    Finished the race in P4. The rolling start was awesome and I think everybody got away pretty well. First lap at T9 i had a massive oversteer and almost lost it completely but the fence straightened me up with no damage, lost only 1 position so was now in p5.
    But it wasn't till lap 5 or 6 (can't remember must have had a small concussion) when I got sideways airborne and spun along the fence at the famous Eau Rouge. Shook it off and carried on but had a broken RHF shocker and had no horsepower & was lucky to hit 6th gear so decided to pit - MISSED the freakin pit entry so had to do another slow lap, falling behind by about 1:20 - not happy.
    Finally pitted and car was fixed with new boots and a splash of fuel - now for the chase.
    Rain hit, pitted for wets, got into a groove and was ever slow slowly catching the front runners but not quite quickly enough. Rain stopped and hit the softs and had plenty of pace but still couldn't manage to catch the podium guys. Finished 4th. Still happy with that. Can't wait for the next race. Thanks to all who joined in - awesome fun.

    Been doing testing at Le mans this week and have found an issue with the ruf. Its gear ratios don't go high enough and it would spend to long on the limiter. I have tried detuning the other cars to match its top speed but the Aston and BMW are way quicker. I would suggest we drop the ruf this round are those who chose it OK to repick for this race?

    Stuff like this should have been worked out before the season started. Maybe force people to use different gear ratios on the other 3 cars?

    Maybe people should just stay with the car they picked and just work it out I know looking at the track list for this event that some of the cars would tap out on this track but the benefit can be they can run more down force and make it up buy braking later and better corner speed as the car will still hit top speed the only real problem I see is if they don't open the radiator enough they might blow the engine

    Nah its like 296kph at its on there for ages. I did see this pre testing it can have a work around if people would like to keep the car just a heads up though it will have a disadvantage.

    I'm fine with either but if the ruf drivers aren't fussed I can make all the cars more powerful as they won't be slowed to the ruf
