Wow, what a race. Ran third in the early going behind the two Starworks cars, then moved up to second when Silenzze spun coming onto the banking. Battled with him for a good bit of the race, and man, passing the GTE cars here was harrowing at times.

Brought the car home 2nd, and I'm thrilled to finally get a finish worthy of my car and my team this year. Really gutted Mike couldn't connect, as we'd have been on for a double podium if he'd been able to get in, but we'll come back even better at Mugello.

Can't really argue with second, got damage off the banking and couldn't push at all, Venom then caught me and then a few laps later lagged out.

Didn't have the pace of the leaders early on and the damage then put me even further back.
Really looking forward to Mugello and I'll be pushing for that 4th podium.

Props Carlsons. The aero wash made in very difficult to get around you. I was able to use the pit cycle to resolve that but unfortunately Midget got sideways in the twisties right as I was building a run to pass him on the inside straight.

After that my car was done. But 3rd place is good for the team and keeps us in a solid first place.

Could FLMS run split-class races in the future?

Man, had to push it to the limit to stay ahead of you, thought you had me for sure when the pits cycled out. Damage was the name of the game today, I don't think a single car in Lobby 2 got out completely clean.

You raced a good race from what I saw until my untimely exit. You managed to push through the damage.

I got mystery side damage from a flattened braking board on the first corner and that meant Hamilton was always there, and then the crash :(

Twice in a week, I don't know why I bother pushing so hard if it all goes to sh!te :'( :'( :@ :'( :@

At the start i was just aiming to line up and take off. I didnt have anything for you, and until you spun out i was shocked about how i was faster than you :P I got really scared once you started spinning because you fished tailed before you spun and i had no idea where to go :P But good race to all. I loved passing the gte traffic, was alot of fun being able to drag race down the front straight.

I don't know what to say really...

I make mistakes on and off the track, of course I do, but it's not often I make a full blown wrong decision in a race.

All I can do is apologise to everyone at Ferrari. It was my fault today. I made the wrong decision. Unfortunately it's as simple as that. I'm in big trouble for that one.

Congrats Born, and condolences to the Vette boys, they looked the team to beat today before lagging out.

Yeah I was running a nice pace to be fair, just couldn't get close enough to the back of you guys to use the super speed of the Aston and over time the little bit extra you guys had took its toll.

That was probably my worst start in a while, got alongside Hamilton but he defended well and I ended up losing the position to Venom.

Much better track next week, Mugello probably won't suit the Aston but I'm sure we'll have a competitive car come qualifying.

Unluck motorhead. I had two chances to pass you in traffic an didn't capatalise on them. Then you took off. If you didn't crash I doubt I could have passed. I expected worse from gtc. All in all they drove ok. Only one scary moment when me an a ferrari went off line the same time lol(stay on your lines). Good race doe. Two in a row with audi leading drivers teams and manufacture going into a well deserved break

I have no idea what happened to my pace - I was only a couple of tenths slower than Born et al, yet in the race I was no where...

Still, managed to avoid getting any damage and just picked up the points...

Well that was a fail.

Got a brilliant start, made a few places and whilst hunting down fujimi in the first 10 minutes then hit a curb wrong and clattered a wall giving me rear aero damage. a few laps later trying to go through turn 1 without getting any lift off oversteer and started sliding and bounced of a wall and into another. Boom lots of damage. had the rest of the race to do with a very damaged car.

The only thing that kept me going was a small picture of jonny that i stuck on the dashboard :huh:

Don't think anyone there ended without wounds including an exciting last lap between Born and Fujimi! I hope for next race we can all survive and that there's no stupid places on track to get random damage!

Solid work from Fujimi, Born, Canadian, Carlsons and Doritos. I had a crap race, but Bono came through and made me day! Sorry for leaving so suddenly, my cat vomited, then collapsed and passed out. Had to rush him to the vets. He is fine now though the little moron!

Holy crap was the BMW difficult to drive with damage, even though it was only 11% rear! The damn thing was fishtailing under braking, I ended up going into/through the first proper turn backwards a couple of times!
