Brands Hatch WTC

Such failures, I have not seen ((((On the grid, suddenly, in itself involved a rear view, which does not back cut off, to go it was only possible with cameras through the button "home" (((so decided to go but when you press the brake rear view switched back. idiocy. first time I see that on one button two functions worked))) then checked offline everything is working as before. What was it did not understand?? it's a shame to spend money to get to this race, and in the end and 500 meters is not passed, all because of stupid problems.

A top-five finish was more than I was expecting considering I only remembered I had entered this race 75 minutes before quali began. I know this track very well from racing it in a 2007 Alfa many times on the public servers, but even so it was a gamble to switch from the Alfa in practice to the practically untested Honda with 10 minutes to go. Turned out to be the right call, as the Honda (even with the exact Alfa setup) was more stable and predictable, even if it looked to wear the tyres a bit more.

Qualified ok, moving a little up the order once the ones on 'red light' status had been dumped out (ordinarily I wouldn't care, but it did look like they were keeping out two drivers who couldn't otherwise get in). In the race, everything went smoothly and I got up to P8, which became P6 after I made the most of little errors by others.

John Passmore was a big challenge though. I stuck to his bumper but the times we were doing were good. After about 12 laps I had a lap filled with little errors and I couldn't get back within 1.5s. After a few more laps, John went into the pits, presumably to change tyres. I stayed out as I didn't feel the tyres were wearing *that* badly (although by the end I was 4s off my earlier times), and salvaged a great P5, a long way behind the top four as I didn't handle the worn tyres too well.

Ran out of fuel in qually, so 15th on the grid, moved into 9th place by clearways by keeping out of trouble, was on the back of the 3rd place group for abit until tobias, dan and mikka broke away, but all the while had kenny gaining on me, when i was caught there was contact with kenny running into me, as i corrected i got into a tank slapper and hit him back, he pits but i had some damage, elected to stop to fix it after a couple visits to the barriers, came out infront of kenny again, defended as well as i could until he took a huge crash into the wall at dingledell, was catching the guys ahead so much and had the lead group not far behind, began making mistaked and got lapped, was hanging on to matt until contact between the top 2, got passed and followed matt to the end.

11th, would of been better had i not hit the wall or ran out of fuel in qually but oh well. :)
