UKFormula Euro nGT: Monza

Qualifying:
Not even a decent lap, but was enough for top 5. Should have been much better.

Race:
Not much to say here. Got off to an excellent start, from 5th to 2nd very fast, then I got into a braking zone, didn't brake too late, only downshifted one gear too early. Car went sideways, and once I saw I'm gonna plow into the side of Claus I had to press ESC didn't want to ruin Claus' race.

Stupid as stupid does.

My best race!

I start good. I was accident in the parabaolica. The tyres isn't woreing. And I push very hard.

Congrats. for the podiums!!!

Go Orphans!!!

Congrats podium

Good start, but what looked like someone spinning into T1 broke my concentration and was into ''avoid crash mode'', i missed braking point slightly and was fighting car to turn in and cut chicane not intentionally and lost a few places.

Was having a real awesome race first stint with Roberto massa, George Pol, and Mark Benvenuti, all racing very hard ... Roberto ended the winner and pulled away, while George made a mistake and got behind mark... I ended up loosing roberto and pulling away from the guys behind me and then became a lonely race..

Managed to jump roberto in pit strat which put a big smile on my face, and then teammate Darren was slowing infront of me 4 laps from finish, and this helped me get 4th.. Unlucky darren

Well gone to all.. good race

Had a pretty good quali and took things easy at the start but kept 4th. The top 3 were much quicker and pulled away to 6 or 7 seconds but then the gap stopped growing. I had a good stop and jumped up to 3rd with 20 seconds of a gap behind. No way I could catch the front 2 so I just hoped to bring home the podium but it wasn't to be. I lost it on the 2nd Lesmo right-hander and hit the wall, losing the wing. With 4 laps to do I thought pitting wasn't worth it and nursed it round the final laps dropping to 6th. It would have been 7th if it wasn't for my team mate Mark behind me at the end.
Grats to the podium guys.

Nice race, even if Monza is always scary! The higher the class the higher the chance to do mistakes.
I did many, 1st of all front tyres never got in right temperature. Then i had a slow start but almost everything went fine today :) A little contact with Laslo (sorry,didnt see you inside t1).
One overtake inside Parabolica (didn't see who) then chasing a close group of drivers, all was clean, i drove with strong decision.
Fron half race, dunno why, i cannot touch kerbs or the car become very unstable..especially through Variante della Roggia where i missed many times the right apexes and 0.5sec every lap just there. Pit-in,only fuel...but as always i lost precious seconds, especially to Heinz, who had a nice 2nd part of race!!Congratulations to Mark Benvenuti too, i was saving my engine (efficency went down to 90% after 20 laps), but our gap went slimmer and slimmer every lap.
5th place, D'oh!, no "fast" car next race :)

I was having a good race enjoying the add tussle with one or two drivers. However I took longer in the pits than I should and made a silly mistake trying to go past Charles and ended up in the gravel, followed by another couple of cock ups trying to catch up.

Still I don't know if it's me that seems to be improving or your all getting slower, but I seem to able to hold my position a little better last couple of races. All I have to do now is stay on the track.

WTF is up with my head lately.In the right hand sweeper after the 1st chicane,i was actually pushed out of the way.Then got rearended going into the 2nd chicane turning me around.So what do i do,turn left into the sand trap,D'oh.Took me ages to get out of there and almost pulled the pin there.Luckily i made up a heap of places in the pitstop and salvaged what should have been a disaster.

Heh good interesting race.
Qual was not so bad ,still I ran into traffic on fastest lap, could be faster but that was ok for pole.
Race started usually with my bad start,Claus take the lead with great start easily.Few sec later I saw Enis flying into first turn(I moved to the left to avoid crash,got warning for cutting that first chicane)
After that it was a real pleasure chasing Claus.I was faster a little and started to push him.Few laps later I get close enough to use slipstream and overtake him where hi did a mistake going too deep into curve and hit some sand.

After that it was ok , until box where I made i mistake witch costed me a win(lost there 10sec minimum)then one spin and small track errors.
Great racing Claus , besides that small error I think your race was trouble free.Outcome is totally deserved!

Good race all

Was satisfied with the qualify timing, I think I should boost up a few things in the setup because I was not close to pole lap even though I made a very nice lap...

Race started off with Enis getting a superb start, but unfortunately went wide into T1. After that I was distancing from Darren and following leaders. Claus spinned into sandtrap and I overtook him. He was behind me all until the pit stop, so we were about as fast.
Made a bad mistake in pits, changing tires... After that I was 4th but Darren soon made a mistake giving me the podium.

Too bad I made that mis-step in pit box, but oh well, experiance, experiance :P

Grats to Claus and Marko!

Got a great start, then as I was to negotiate the exit of T1 got a jolt which send me thru the run-off area and handed me a cut warning! np Enis these things happen.
Car seemed to be fine too, was just deadslow with all that fuel so Marko was getting tows everywhere. I prolly tried to defend abit too hard at one point and had to take it thru the sand after some 5 laps and dropped back to 3rd, quickly caught Joco tho and he was pretty much slowing my progress by a sec per lap for some laps, but car was just not fast to make it close enuff.
Had one look inside into the 2nd chicane but he firmly slammed the door there, but then we came up on some backmarker and I dropped back abit just b4 Ascari to get a good slingshot out and then hope he would prolly not time it right and be held up by the backmarker on the way out. And yes, got an easy pass after exiting Ascari, but then he pitted... ofcoz, but still saved me some time to get by him. As I passed the pits I noticed Marko had dived into for his stop aswell, great so they prolly on a different strategy and would explain why he was a bit faster in the start with less fuel. Figured I had a shorter stop so could get out again maybe close to Marko and fight for it till the end.
I just pushed for 5 more laps on low fuel before stopping, was bit surprised to come out again and hold trackposition with 6s lead, so then it was just a matter of keeping it on the island for the last 10 and control the gap.
