    what a race, thanks to all involved

    faaaaaaaaaaaaaarkn pissed off when you disappeared right in front of me Juzz, i lifted off hoping you'd teleport back butt shiiiiiiit

    well done benny slambo & spidey, not a dull moment in this race with you guys spreading out fast & there no shortage of lmp2s coming through. im sure spidey shat himself when i turned in on him into Brooklands, familia had just come thru & didnt see spidey at all. same again with t_b coming thru t2 as i slowly drift towards him & he's right there, Being There!

    Essssteedeeeeeee makes a 1-2 for Team Green in GTE! Love ya work mate. Kartdude putting pressure on us all the way home, well done mate. I finally broke a personal hoodoo at Silverstone but it sure wasn't pretty, a half spin early which allowed juzzy through into brooklands & 3 more in the second half of the race had essstee within 4 seconds with 20mins to go

    & i'd like to propose a rule change: for the remaining races, everyone switches to the Marek & the Corvette
    (in future seasons we could have a half season rule to the same effect)
    see what you guys think about that, im thinking it could take this whole being there to a new level

    That was a great race! Pretty happy with p3 with the limited time and testing i had. Only knew i was needed 4 hours before qauli started and had some much needed sleep in between.

    I can't remember who also. But sorry to the one lmp2 halfway where i nearly took you out at woodcut. I was trying to move out of the way

    was going good. till I crashed. it was damage control from then on. lucky I slowed enough to only get 18 front damaged and lost front right wheel. tire change was rushed and got the wrong pressures. didn't effect too much though just not as fast. but I'm still trying to figure out how to make these things quicker.

    Yeah those bloody LMP2s come up on you so quick! Sorry to anyone I held up.

    Good race again everyone. Happy that it was my first where I didn't sustain any damage!

    Yeah what a race alright was great fun, challenging and kept ya on ya toes the whole way!

    I didn't get much practice either only finally sunk time in on Thurs night for 2 hours then maybe another 2 on Friday, so stoked I had my pace up.

    Woulda been great if I stuck with nige and juzz looked like a great battle up front, the track rubbered in super quick and I lost a couple of reference points for braking/turn in , I had v8 keeping me busy for ages and I'm guessing the no tyre change nudged me ahead. after pits I saw kartdude making progress so thought I'd push it for a few laps and prolong that window I had, thank god I did cause you weren't too far behind in the end another lap or two and you woulda had me I was having a great deal of trouble in the closing laps.

    Lmps looked like they had a great race too, it looked epic when IIRC TB, JDM and was it bounty all battling it out, intense stuff.

    Good racing all! Disappointed you dc'd juzz I had them feels for ya dude you were flying.

    Disappointed that I got called out even without much practice I was starting to find some pace and get onto the back of the battle of 3 cars one of which was gary. At least I left to get payed unlike Juzzy getting a dsc unlucky mate. Congrats to the podium see you at the next one.

    Was bit of a road block last night. Just had no pace, and made a fee blues along the way. First time been in a slower category as well, tried to stick to my lines as best i could, didn’t make contact which was good, ended up just cruising around for the last 40mins as gaz was already a pitstop infront of me. Thanks for letting me fill in, always good fun . You top guys are too bloody quick
