GTx: Birmingham

Happy with the outcome... But mannnnnn what a pass by Pete... I owe you one... :)

1st stint was uneventful but after pits it was action all the time. Had to get pass Heinz 2 times since i made a mistake... was great racing with him. Then Pete came and owned my ass on last lap.. :)

Had to get a result in this race since i ll miss last one for sure. Champ. should be mine now... i think hehe

Grats Pete!

Nice going Pete, I need to know one thing - Ari & pete, did you guys take tires or go the whole race on 1 set???? rrrrr

I was quite pleased with my results -a happy 5th.
I could have went the distance on one set of tires, I think thats where the 25 second gap between Ari and the leaders, not certain.

Good race everyone a bit boring though, after the first few laps and Pete passing me I never saw a car again!!

Well, this was a really good race.. I blasted a PB in quali on my last attempt and got on pole, was well happy with that!

the race started like i thought, Janko would have a better start, and i would be left defending second and trying to attack janko for the lead ... but i saw carnage in my mirror behind me at T1, and i only really had to keep Ari at bay.. Had some good few laps chasing Janko in the first few laps, his car was nervous, could see him making a vitall mistake at somepoint, but he didnt, and he ended up pulling away slowly but surely..

BEfore pits i realised Pete would probably be a threat later in stint 2...

I had to race a bit with janko in stint 2 because i came out infront after pits, and he made another mistake.. it was VERY tight racing, very TIGHT passing .. i was holding my breathe a couple times ... janko has some solid balls man!

Then Pete snuck through much to my irriration after i got loose fighting with janko .. But it looked like Pete had it covered till the last lap, and finally got janko last lap..
Ari was trying to make a move last couple laps, but i had it covered... Glad my lister could stant up to something :)

Well done Pete and Janko and all the finishers

A disaster race for me :(

Qual went bad, actually its because my qual setup, i could go faster with even standard setup lol but 4th wasnt the end of the world for me.

I dunno what happened with the race start but even i was taking the first turn way wide, i was pushed to the grass. Dunno what happened but it was just the beginning of the disasters lol. After i recovered from that incident i forgot that its a long race and was in a hurry. In mid section of first lap i normally use full throttle the mid straight and upcoming turns, but it seemed that Barry wasnt so. It was a bit surprise for me while i was following him closely and punt him there. Sorry for that Barry i caught off guard in that situation. I served drive thru that lap and i was now 45 secs behind leader. The race started for me again lol.

I was fast and made good times every laps and dropped the gap like 30s with the leaders till pits. Then i entered the pits at midway but i just press ok to not lose time in pits but it seems i made a mistake about calculating fuel before race. So after loaded 54 liters in pits i was "!£%^$é lol coz i had to do another pit. After that i just wanted to drive as fast as i can do and nearly made better time than qual pole time in these laps. With fast laps, gap with leaders dropped like to 12 secs and i caught Ari who was 4th i think. Then i made a mistake and went to grass, 1 lap later i went to pits. It was 15 mins to go after my 3rd pit and i had Kinlock 10 secs ahead of me and Mario 20 secs. I made some solid laps again and passed Kinlock after his mistake and caught Mario in the end but there was not enough time to try a pass on him. Even with 3 stops i finished only 45 secs behind Pete which is more annoying for me lol...

I wish i didnt have these unlucky incidents and could join the front row race. Grats to Pete,Janko,Heinz and Ari seem u all had great fun :(

Went with Saleen this time, it's been a long time since I raced it. I just got beat in qual and passing was looking to be almost impossible.

A little off-track moment dropped me to 4th and then a nudge from behind turned my car around, down to 5th. After that I caught up Gregg.

I decided to pit a little early and try to gain some places, possibly. That didn't work out, even Pete's fuel-hungry Lambo stayed in front. Now Pete and I were catching the leaders but I managed to have a scary moment when approaching the last chicane. Even so, I caught Heinz towards the end but especially with my badly worn tires, there wasn't anything I could do. I guess Saleen wasn't quite so good for this track - and the track is not among my favorites.

Anyway, congrats to Pete for the win and a fine lead pass on the last lap.

Oh yeah, I changed tires just as usual.

I think the saleen is perfect for this track... I had a blast with it in S6 Ari ... I think even Sam Krueger won the race in it!

Yeah, I guess I might see it differently had I got to the lead at some point, like Samuel. I just never had enough confidence for close fighting since Saleen isn't that good under braking.
