GTX Valencia

ARGH!!! Got up to 8th, made a slight bobble and dropped to 10th as 2 cars went by. I was able to pick the pace right back up and followed them up to the chicane when George Pol's car warped for a split second, and I was driving up the backside of his ghosted car. The pits called and said I had a broken splitter, carry on if I think I can, so I tried. I was way off the pace and pitted, and really saw how much damage that 1 stupid warp had caused. I went back out after falling to last place, and wasn't anywhere near the pace to even keep out of the way, so I bailed. Thanks anyway all, not your fault George, this shit happens!

Took pole and had a good fight with tolga and Janko for the first 30 laps or so. Then I pulled my steering wheel off my desk and in doing so bumped tolga (really sorry). I waited for him to get right but Janko got past both of us at that point. I then has 2 very poor laps of bad concentration and i left the track twice, almost losing third place in doing so. I then carried on and was told to take a drive through for 'white lines'. I was actually being careful not going wide aroudn the track, so was kind of suprised, but it seems I was cutting the chicane on the inside. I left at this point because I saw no point in carrying on.

...

It was a fine race for almost two laps. Then Janko went off the track on the exit of the chicane, made a hasty re-entry and as I turned right to take the outside line, he came over to the right to hit me. I went off the track and flipped over and dropped to second last, basically race over. What baffles me is that the replay shows him steering his car right, towards me... so I really don't know what to think. A safe re-entry it wasn't, that's for sure.

I tried to recover, and in the process I hit Bob under braking for the last corner, sorry about that. At first I thought you braked way early but the replay shows it wasn't so.

The only good thing in the race was the disco after 25 laps.

Actually, I had no business even being on the track at that point Ari. My apologies.

Well that was freakin weird. Bad qually at the back somewhere, made my way up to 4th, then pit stop. I'd pre-set it to 100Litres, but for some reason the crew only gave me 85!!! (they're so fired!)
Short shifted like crazy, now in 3rd spot, but with 4 laps to go I only had enough for 2. Made stop, hit key to reduce fuel, then crew take over & fill me up.......Huh? Finally, stop over - but I can't get back on track, nothing works. Then the game escapes me and I see I'm not shown in the race at all. I can only figure this was some sort of disco (usually happens around this time of day), but I still appeared to be connected. Like I said, weird!!!!!!!!!

The race was ok but heated up towards the end as i was 13 secs behind 3rd place Peter Bunce but i clawed him in till 4 laps from the end and got third.

I take no pleasure in 3rd place as others dropped out ahead of me although some weren't as race savy as i am :)

Not sure what happened to you Pete or to Sam, Until lap 40 we were all with 3 secs all the time so that was mega.

Thanks for clean and fair driving, i had no problems whatsoever and im gratefully for that.

@ Mr Dixon, yes its frustrating but your pole lap was a huge cut and you should not have completed it out of fairness.

..oh and the Saleen of david Pol i think it was, at the start i guess he got too much wheelpsin and went 90 degree right into me putting me into the wall :D np there, happens to the best of us!

So from 12th at T1 to 3rd at race end im actually quite happy, thank you!

..and ofc Grats to "Janka the wanka" LMAO :) Good drive mate!

Great race to everyone who was in front of me...that means great race to EVERYONE..lol Man, 1 sec or off pace in a enduro like that is brutal. Being a back marker feels awful. I was as careful as possible to let all of you go by, it didn't appear to cause anyone trouble.
George Pol, I don't know what happen when you slammed into my rear, if it was an error on my part, so sorry, if it was your fault, MAN that was some hit you gave me. :P
Congrats to the podium and great race pace all.
That knock the piss out of me!

Thank you Greg you were very very kind when being lapped! That's like a victory for you in itself if you ask me :D

First of all i have to say im very sorry for mess i coused there Ari. I messed up that corner exit, but was still on track with 2 wheels and tried to save it. I saw you were getting passed and at that point i was ok with that and didnt want to chalange you any more. But when i got back to asphalt with all 4 tires my car went into oversteer and i corrected it with that turn to the right, but thats where you were. :( Realy sorry again to mess up your race.

After that i was a spectator in 3rd and watching a good fight between John and Tolga. I realy didnt want to get involved since i was having some problems with the car, it just did not feel right (probably because all the V8 and slowcars im driving, and got into this 550 just few laps before start).

It was a good fair fight but then into T2 John hit Tolga sending them both into gravel. At that point i drove off and got me a nice advantage of 15sec before Tolga pitted. I stayed a bit longer and when i came out Tolga was 5sec behind me. I was expecting fight till the end but it seems that in 2nd part of race, i was able to drive a lot quicker and gained quite a lot on Tolga, and won the race.

Blue flag guys were great and very fair, had absolutely no problem with any of them, specialy Roman; Some very good and predictable moving out of racing line there. Thanks. Nice lightshow there Worship :):):)

Thanks for some realy nice racing and sorry again Ari.
