I thought running the Audi here was terible, and as it was a long time ago that I run the GT1, I took the Corvette instead as it really runs nice here.

Paul was clearly in command here, but ran into trouble with his computer. Didn't do a full stint tire test and gambled on medium. As it turned out they stayed too good! So I took soft for the second stint.

Halfway through the second stint, I saw I had taken not enough fuel on board and I had to start saving. I was 30 seconds in front of Nigel on the last lap and had 0,7 liters left, but I didn't want to get fuel and do another lap, so I stoped just before the finishline and waited for Jose to cross. I had looked first if Nigel was in front or behind Jose. Funny thing was, Nigel was only 3 seconds behind him, lol:

Thanks all for comming. It was a bit of a small field, but thats what you get with a 2,5 hour race on a saturdaynight :).

I switch to P2 for 1 race to help my teammate Felipe on teampoints as he's driving all alone out there :).
I had taken pole and became under intens pressure right from the start by Carl and Felipe, who wanted to have my head on a stick :P. Trying to build a gap, I pushed a bit to hard and spun on a cerb. Felipe and Carl raced by and as we were all doing the same laptimes, it was very hard to close the 7 sec. gap again before the first pitstop. Somehow I got second place in all the goings on after that, so I did what I wanted to do.

All the other races are on sundays, so we should get a bigger field. Sebring looks good already.

Grats to Felipe for his win and to all other winners (specially Jose :p) and podiums and all who was there. Good effort from Pablo who only had 1,5 hours before the race to practise.

See you all next time.

Was driving behind Jose on the first lap, when he suddenly disapeard in front of me. That was weird.

Tristan was quicker then me and I decided not to overdrive trying to keep up. Did the first stint on soft and after that double stinted the hard tires. After 1 hour I began to make mistakes. Nothing bad, just missing apexes and stuff. Then after 2 hours THE BIG ONE came :). After a bit of daydreaming, I suddenly woke up with my splitter around my neck and the car in the wall. Paulo and Pablo overtook me as I sat in the pitbox for repairs. After that Paulo dnf'd and I got third place. Lucky me :).

Grats to Tristan, Johnny, Felipe and Fahn for their win. And grats to all who finished and tried to finish. This is surtenly not a easy track. Well done all. Thanks for comming.
