GTX: Monza

Nice race too bad it ended 2 laps before the flag. Nice fight with Claus :) both times :D

Well qual went very bad. I was blocked by an 575, which was much slower. I could shave at least half a second off if I was free...

Got a decent start, was pretty tight on T1. Again, an 575 in front was slower and I was losing at least half a second per lap. Couldn't get him as he was as fast on the straight. Soon CJ was behind and closing up in his 550. Was alot faster on straights, I didn't have a chance in my Saleen. Well as if all this wasn't enough, I spinned in 2nd chicane, falling on 12th or so. Pitted the same lap, no tires, back on track and overtook Rue soon after. Was running low on tires and drove slow and conservatively to the finish.

Grats to CJ, brilliant performance.

Thanks for the punts Aubrey Windle and Martin Mraz ... Bit dumb and lazy on the brakes both of you ... (both of you have good ratings but rape me like your new to the game ?? whats up with that.. f$%§)

having to be at the back of the field from a good start up to 5th after T1 . .spun the car trying to hard to pull a rabbit out the hat and got damage ..

To John Passmore ! please, next race don't sleep again on the grid lane , thank you !

This will never go correct for me... I had a very nice setup, very nice strategy and 7th best laptime (and 2 of the faster cars didn't finish the race). I got a very good start from 15th to 7th and to avoid the cars crashing in front of me on the first turn i went slowly over the chicane and back to track but while i was on my way back to the asphalt the game gave me a stop and go. From there on i could only make back from 21st to 14th.

I don't know who it was from the front guys, when he came behind me to lap me i let him pass by staying all the way to the left and braking early when he was next to me, but he didn't, instead he just punted me in the last corner. Very dumb move, whoever it was.

Got a good lap in quali to take pole and then I flew away at the start, maybe going a bit too fast on cold tyres so I calmed it down a bit. Got a gap to about 7 seconds and didn't know who was behind me. I hadn't decided whether or not I'd need tyres before the race and was just going to see where I stood and how the tyres behaved. Well they started to feel dodgy around lap 24 so I took my scheduled stop on 25 and got 4 new tyres. I saw Claus pass just as I neared my pit and knew straight away he had me, even if I hadn't changed tyres, it would have been closer but I still would have been 2nd. So I think I did the right thing by getting the tyres, it would have been too risky not to. I think Claus pitted a couple of laps later, didn't get tyres and came out 23 seconds in front, so he probably had time to change his if he wanted! Hell, he probably could have had a cup of tea.
Very good standard of driving from every car I saw out there, no problems atall.
Now what am I going to drive next time?

Sorry Heinz. Just a brain fade. Can't remember the last time I punted someone. :(

Started from the back of the grid, unfortunately not as good driver as CJ :), fought slowly may way up ... though, I am happy with 11th place, made a steady race, with few mistakes, got used to LFB and in some corners tried Trail Braking a bit ... Got it wrong ( again ) in pits, finished with 50 L fuel

I made contact with someone in t1,however,it seemed like the car in front lagged back into me.I was just going to continue on and argue my case after the race,but then decided to do the drive thru in case the stewards can't pick that sort of thing up.

Sonofabitch, I thought this race was at night my time :(
