Didnt expect to get pole considering the 19's we saw in practice. (Mine wasnt a true 19, missed the final part of the chicane in a late braking manouvre)
Got a clean start and managed to keep Phil behind for about half the race then just concentrated on not making any mistakes.
Good job to Barney for the drivers title, wish I could have made it to the first 3 races so it might have been slightly but oh well. Glad to be be part of the Pinnacle team title.

One of my best races in this series. Qualified 4th which over the last few races seems to have been my finishing position. Dropped back a few places in the first few laps down to about 6th or 7th and ran there for a while. Trying to be really steady with my driving to conserve the tyres so wasnt fighting anyone too hard.
Think Barney and Sam came past then I spun when I accidentally switched down to first gear but spun across the inside of the corner so no damage but lost 2 positions down to 11th. Slowly climbed back up the order once people started going off or tyres went. Barney and Sam had gone off so passed them, Caught up with Rogier until I think he got a flat tyre. Passed Jeffrey while he was limping back to the pits and caught up with Bas on the last lap but couldnt pass him for 4th.

Decided that since I'd won the ZR championship that I'd have a go with the H6 for the last race of the season. Got a god setup and in practice was practicing saving my tyres as I had a few issues with them. Got pole with a bonzai lap and then at the start Silvino got past in a Felipe Massa 'round the outside' move.
Had to push alot to keep up with Silvino which pushed my tyre saving right out the window. Eventually got past at the hairpin when Silvino ran wide and then tried to back off slighlty to conserve tyres.
Pulled out a decent gap but at the end my front tyres were red and it was getting rather difficult to steer. Good job with the Championship in this class Anthony.

An interesting race for me. Grabbed pole but only just then kind of lost it going into turn 1 but Sam went wide and I got backthrough into the lead. Held on to the lead until about lap 3 when I went wide in turn 1 and both Sam and Barney came past.
Doing well until lap 10 when I got driven into the front of losing the wind and the suspension so into the pits for a 137 second pit stop. Came back out in a determined mood and got back into the top 10 from about 14th and then was involved in an accident in Pinball alley where the suspension took a serious knock and heavily steered right. Didnt want to lose my top 10 finishing record for Pinnacle by pitting so drove last 5-6 laps very cautiously to finish 9th

Got a bad start. Went from 6th to 10th after 'pushing' Nick to get him up to speed. Eventually got going and tried not to push too much in the opening laps because I thought the tyres would play a role in this. Turned out not to be and Nick on the same setup ran quite high up and I struggled to catch up.
Held off Phil a few times during the race and then caught a few of the guys in front when they had off moments at the end but wasnt able to capitalise on it.

Unfortunately Barney I hadnt practiced pitting so when I got to the white line doing about 70 I was up shit creek.
Qual.
Went well, got some clean laps in but didnt managed to get down as low as I wanted and Phil pipped me to pole on the last lap.
1st Half of the race.
Good clean start, settled in behind Phil and tried to keep pace while my tyres warmed in. Looked down the order on lap 2 or 3 and Barney was 7th and thought eh?!?! Other than that I stayed on the track and closed right up to Phil around some backmarkers. Think Phil spun off on that lpa as well so got by into the lead and then held a good lead. Knew that fuel was going to be tight so when I came down pit road ( bit too fast) it was spluttering with 0/0 on the petrol counter.
2nd Half
Came out, looked at the timing screen, YESS 11 seconds back to Barney, looked at top left, NOOOOO, stop go. Back in the next lap and Barney was past for his next win.
Also Nick, hope I didnt help cause your accident in the esses. Had to slow down because the guy in front of me must have braked for the esses and you closed right up to the back of me. Couldnt really tell but once we came out of the esses and I looked in the mirror you werent there anymore.
