GTC-East Anderstorp

Well, I was hoping I would finish the race, but that wasn't going to happen, was asked to "Park It" on 13th or 14th lap. I went off the track one to many times trying to stay out of the way. Well, looks like I need more practice. Sorry for getting in the way guys.

You did fine Ed, just noticed you were getting yourself in trouble letting the leaders go by. Something easy to work on for the next race. :-)

Grats to the podium. A very difficult race for me as I did quite a bit of practice offline only to discover the track is a different entity online. I was a full second and a half off what I thought would be my pace and struggled along to a dismal 6th place. I had nothing for no-one and was disappointed I couldn't push anyone at all.

The whole top 5 deserve those points and its back to the drawing board for me. I still notice a huge gap in the my braking zones compared to others and it really hinders my corner speed when I try to keep up. I have had pedal issues for so long I have come to assume I will never get it sorted properly.

Congrats again to the top 5, you guys certainly owned me good and proper...

Not a satisfactory result, but a good race, as far as fun goes. I had many battles for position, close clean racing, most of the times. The guy i hit in the banked left hander, im sorry, but we were both hot headed. I was way faster than you and was stuck behind you for several laps. So i thought i would do my move there, since i got the run in the exit on the previous corner and got side by side. I guess nobody lifted, and i ended up hitting you, im very sorry. But i do have a lot complaints, too. I got hit 3 or 4 times in lap 1, losing 3 spots. in addition, i lost more, almost every time in the first 2 laps someone was behind me, i was getting bumped, luckily not losing control, but losing position and tire wear. So i decided to become more aggressive. Dont be surprised guys, if you see me pulling some crazy moves on you in the next races. I will try to keep it clean, but you will need to let me by, just as i let YOU by... Watch your mirrors, its time to overtake... If you dont know how to race clean, you might end up off track ! People assume that if they get side by side, they have to brake late and close the door to the other person. Now, if that person doesnt know how to back off too, its kaboom!If everyone else agrees to let go of the do or die in the 1st lap, i will calm my driving down.

Another win after euro race all amazing !!

Qualy went great again improved my pb with a 1.28.5 and got pole.

I have to work on my race starts, my start was bad in euro race too but luckily i didnt got passed, but this time i was passed and dropped to 3rd after 2nd turn. I regain 2nd place in 1st lap then started to chase Kent. I was faster but couldnt find any chance to pass for a while. Then in 1/4 race 1st turn i braked late and took inside then dunno what happened but i saw Kent went to grass. After i took lead again i kept it and made 5 sec gap till pits. I made double pits in 17th and 18th laps. After every1s pit over, i took the lead again with 15 secs gap and kept it till the finish.

Thx all for clean race. By the way i saw that some guys are slowing too much or going out of the track to let me pass while i was lapping. U dont have to do these guys. :))

Qualified 4th, bit of a rough start but moved up to 3rd and from there it was lonely. Quicker than 4th, slower than 2nd. After 2x pits stops just drove her home to take a happy 3rd. Congrats to Tolga who really should have been in bed!

I don't know why, but I can't seem to find any speed or consistency at this track. :(

Sorry to Larry for bumping you on the first lap and then totally losing it in front of you a few laps later. Lost the back end, hit the curb and over-corrected right into you. :(

Also, sorry to Walter, for running into the back of you and knocking you off the track. There was a lot of warping from your car, but I didn't brake soon enough anyway.

Doesn't the pit lane speed limit end at the green lights that are around the corner from the pit lane? I was about run over by someone while I was still on the speed limiter.

Doing a race at 3 AM is stupid ofcourse ... but I had to settle something. My euro-race should have been better so I needed this 5th place to have a peacefull night in a moment. :-) Knew that my med left front wouldn't make it halfway so I pitted after lap 13 and changed all 4 and did the 2nd stop in lap 25 only taking fronts. That saved me about 7 secs and in the end that was just wat I needed to secure 5th place. Nice to see my teammates doing well too. Grats to John and John for a 3rd and an 8th place. And ofcourse to Tolga who indeed should have been in bed. :-)

Well I seriously have no way to complain. Got home from work downloaded a set and did about 10 laps practice in the race room. I was about 6th in P2 session and figured that was all I could do in this race. Made a last minute gear change, lowered fuel level threw on some softs and what do ya know 2nd on the grid.

I gave Tolga another lesson on starts :P (had to say that Tolga hehe) and held him off for about 5-6 laps. He was clearly faster but I wasn't going to just hand it to him. Finally he got nice run off the last corner and I saw he was going to get me on the inside of T1 so I went a little wide in case he slid up DOH! I drove it right off the track LOL. Well we had a quite large lead over 3rd so I rejoined with about 6 second lead and lost 5 seconds to Tolga.

I knew he was on the back to back strategy and I thought about trying that then just went with standard 4 tire stops. There was no way I would have challenged him so why bother with worn tires. Set some decent laps times in stint 2 and basically cruised stint 3 bringing home a 2nd place finish :)

Grats Tolga.

OK Bobby B. I'm the guy you took out in the left hander.
" way faster " think you better watch the replay. i was running 6th with 3rd place in site. yes you did have a run on me & I was not upset with your pass, but your comments in your post race are another story.
Grats to Tolga on the win & UK-NL for 3 in the top 10.
