I'm going to be very open in this race, I don't need to keep people happy any more, so I'll just be myself.

Anyway, I haven't told Hayley what she's about to go through, but I haven't changed my tune, so this race is going to hurt, a lot...

'I haven't told Hayley what she's about to go through' then ' is going to hurt, a lot...'

anywayyy, just remembered this place has an annoying full pitlane so im guessing we dont have to follow all the way around turn 1 as it looks like tarmac but drives likes dirt.

Ricky's done this a couple of times, saying he may not race due to various things, but then he always shows up, nothing stops him.

Sorry Alex for the side contact in turn 1....You left plenty of space but with that nose view I don't feel the car the same way as cockpit view and it understeered badly even if I wasn't that fast into the corner ! I'll never ever run a car other than cockpit view again....Just for fun I took a stock (958pi) Lola-Mazda and did a few laps at Laguna : no sun glare problems at all, and I was turning 1:15's like in the Aston, all this while having an excellent cockpit view.....Fuck you Turn 10 !!! ^o)

There was some big massive lag spike and I was the victim of it :( I rear ended James, who on my screen stopped moving and I ended up with all the damage. I did manage to plant the power back down to make sure I spun off the track and out of the way of Relit and yourself Mike. :(

I've got quite a few options in mind for next season, one of them possibly sticking with my Pescarolo :)

Managed to one stop the race, had the pace to catch Relit at the end, but he had enough of a gap to stay a good bit ahead to the finish, but sixth isn't too shabby anyways. Fun race, decent finish, and third place in the P1 standings, it's been a good year. Also, I managed to start and finish every race this season, something I'm even more proud of.

It's been a great season for myself and Aston Martin Racing, and we've done a good job to send off the Lola B09/60, as it officially retired from FLMS competition as the checkered flag flew at Laguna, and will be dearly missed.

Thanks also to Michel for coming out and running the #009 car for the team, and despite his DNF due to rear end damage, his effort was much appreciated it.

All I can say now is bring on 2013!

Hayley has been beautiful this year. Today we wrapped up the Team's title, to go with our Driver's and Ferrari's Manufacturer's titles. Victory today was very special, in a very strange race! I'm smiling, and now a few weeks of holiday :)

No worries about that, I don't think I got damage from it. The only time I got damage was in the corkscrew when Venom and Ricky were behind me - everyone was talking so I couldn't hear what they were saying, so we came together there :(

Other than that, I'm annoyed I was so slow. After the first 10 minutes, when I was still close to James, my speed just disappeared and didn't return until the last 15 minutes or so... Still had some great close racing with Sting regardless, was fun :)

Also means I have finished every race I have done with Ferrari in 2nd...
