Also, sorry to James and Stingy for the bumps I gave them while lapping them near the end. Didn't realize my mic cord had fallen out, so essentially I was talking to myself when trying to communicate with you guys, so sorry for the confusion and nudges. |

Time to put a cap on a great season. Started off stronger than ever on the first half of the season, but fell off the second half. Regardless still enjoyed the racing and the memories they may bring. Hats off to Relit Phoenix for that battle we had today. Another hat off to my Audi Team including the 2012 P1 champ Ricky for such a successful season. Regards to James, Hayley and Risi for taking another victory and championship! Last hat goes off to everyone in the series, who make the FLMS possible and exciting. Bring on season V.

Most fun race of the season. Audi controlled preety much when candian made a boo boo lol. Drivers teams and maufactures started the season with a podium lock out. Finish it with a 1-2 with a welcomed venom taking the win by 14ft loool (that was a slow down lap either we were still racing lol ) @mike an ablo. Venom is still team priciple. I will have no say in who the 3rd driver is

Today was a complete revelation for me! I'm genuinely really happy! A lot has gone on, and I think getting back to something I have really enjoyed for the past few years was just the kind of therapy I needed! I really really enjoyed the race today, so thank you to everybody who was involved in it Somebody tell Jonny that I'm happy ![]() In summary:

I'm happy knowing I finally sealed the deal and overtook you around the outside of a corner

I went around the outside of James at one point but I couldn't make it stick... and then for some reason my pace disappeared for a few hours... |

Sounded like a great race from what I have read so far. Sucks I lagged out. (which has never happened before) Anyways I am looking at a full 2013 season and a team to maybe pick me up. |

Looks like it was, pretty bummed I napped right thru it.... Wouldn't mind an announcement about class structure for next season (more specifically GT3 replacing GT-Am), if that goes ahead I'll have the same car for 3 different series'. woop woop woop development mileage. |

Sounds like you guys had a blast. I have been thinking and I have one more article for this season that is stewing in my head. I have also been thinking about stepping onto the sidelines and trying to focus more on the Media side of the FLMS and less on the racing side of it. Anyways, great season guys. |

Just knowing there won't be any more FLMS races until next year makes me kinda sad. After the disaster that was my season and my life last year, it's been a complete joy and treat to be able to come back and redeem myself this year. I've had fun, improved on my racing ability, made some great friends, had a lot of laughs and good racing, and it's been an amazing year. Who'd have thought that the guy who spent 2011 quitting races because he thought he was too slow and fighting with everyone would end up third in P1 points in 2012? I know I never thought I'd be in this position, but a positive attitude and a supportive community of great guys can really help a guy achieve something, even if it's as small as this. So to everyone, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for an astounding 2012 FLMS season, hope to see you all again on the grid at Sebring in 2013.
