Race report
Donington 170k on Jun 07, 2008
Car: BMW M3 GTR. Class: G2. Start: 7. Finish: 7. Laps: 37.

A decent result for me, qualified at the back of the G2 field, wondered if I would stay in front of the G3 front runners and was able to. Early on came up on a G3 Porsche that may have been lapped, and after overtaking I spun in front of him, hope that didn't cause any damage.

Just tried to be consistent throughout the run, made my stop, and thankfully restarted the car after service to resume! (I had a mapping problem for the G2 race this week and had to retire). Leaving the pits a G3 BMW flew right by me close, luckily we missed but I should have been more careful, sorry.

Found myself 10th after the stop and caught and passed two G3 cars to regain 8th position and then caught Aaron for 7th place on the last lap. Seemed like he was having problems and we approached the chicane with Matjaz behind. Aaron the overshot the chicane and I just held my line as normal and got by. Felt a bit like I should have been letting Matjaz go by instead, but I guess that's a tough call on the last lap, and it sounds like it didn't hamper the outcome, so we'll take it.
