Well what can i say, Pole by 2 seconds.... out standing.

From their it went down hill. Warm up lap coming to starting blocks, my computer froze mid burnout causing me to spin and stall. From their i rushed back to my pit lane screen to start from the pit lane, rushing to the end to try get a good start my computer froze yet again as soon as a started to brake for the start causing me to slide straight through the red light and be DQ from the event. Days of prep work ruined all because of a poxy stupid thing of a graphics card. IT IS IN THE BIN AND WILL NOT BE USED EVER AGAIN!!!!!!

I'd like to thanks Tom for his support and i just wish i was racing now to at least get my first event over and done with but my time will come.

God Speed,

James 'The Professor' Linton

Unlucky James mate, your Qual pace was quite quick!

I myself had a little battle with Thomas and after pulling a large lead with a 1 stop strategy I looked all set for the win.

...Until my brakes had a catasrophic failure going into Ascari chicane and I wrecked the car. Gutted.

I'm sure mid 24's would have got you a great grid position even in an unrestricted event. Congrats.

I really hope for my mental state that this wasn't your first race ever though! :-)
