Euro nGT: Estoril

What a great race! Kinda short but great.

LoL Johan i was LOL when i saw u leave in LAP1 :)...

To my race... well was 3rd in qual with RS... And also ended in 3rd at the end of race. Was having some nice action with Enis in 2nd part, but just could not get him... damnit! :P Marko was way too fast and had a race of his own.. :) Grats both of u. Till next time :)

I shot off the line at the start,but Adam had gone to sleep and didn't move,so he got a couple of wakeup thumps.This lost me a few places but eventually made them up.The one set of tyres went the distance easily.

Quali:
Menaged to clock 1:38.4, wasn't bad. Marko was too quick.

Race:
Race was terrible. I was driving bad and car wasn't set up very good either. No practice wasn't a good idea and not to mention lower FPS didn't help either.

Lost second place to Janko couple of corners into the race. By the pit stop it went up to about 7 seconds. I was slow.

Exited pit some 11 seconds ahead of Janko, but lost it all in a space of 2 and a half laps behind Barry K, it was a legitimate fight for the position though.

From then on I had to make sure to keep Janko behind and did just that. Although 2nd place is nice, I don't take any pleasure in beating Janko who drove RS.

Congrats Marko, excellent pace. Congrats Janko too, brilliant driving.

Another good race for me.
Made a mistake before the race putting too much fuel to pour in pit, after what I had to subtract 15L in box.
Incredible pace Janko with that RS (but I dont know why you chosed that car ;) )

Good race all.

oops

Barry, you had the good part of the pileup at the start, lol. I didn't get around so, so I punted you, then right behind me Chris G punted me too--I lost my spliiter, rear bumper, and tail, so I was really out of the race right then. I managed to get around and repair those on the first lap--then I somehow sped right at the end of pit lane and got a black flag! 2 laps behind the entire race, but I just kept coming and ended up 14th. Managed to get a lap back from Chris right at the end there, too.

Fun race and great cars to race with.

I hate this circuit :-(

This circuit hates me :-(

I didn't touch the Finn :-(

I'm going to Silverstone this weekend :-)

First: sorry I overslept the start. I think Alexandros lost most places 'cause of that. Sorry again.
As I lost some places at the start as well I hade to go up through the grid. Which was fun. Mostly. Except for one driver who was (almost as) stubborn as me. Had to wait for his mistake to safely pass. I think we were all there at the begining.
Had notable close racing with Gerge Pol and then Martin Mraz. Great driving in GTCs, guys! It was clearly visible the Ferrari is underpowered otherwise I wouldn't be able to pass. This was especialy notable when I saw Martin set his car to be fast on the s/f straight but was then easily caught through the corners. Easily caught, but hard to overtake. Great driving, Martin.
Was then a lonesome hotlapping until the last quarter of the race. Too bad I put in too much fuel and was lugging 40 kg ballast with me. Was funny when Mark McClean was chasing me while I was chasing Laki Sultan. All three of us were on the limit, tyres smoking, cars going this way and that, overstearing, understearing and whatnot. Three laps to go I was able to finaly pass Laki through T1 and I thought he was gonna hold Mark to the end. But he wanted to have my place back and he made a mistake and let Mark through. Damn. I'm still sweating, Mark, you gave me the chase of my life, even worse than in UKGTR Oschersleben some races back. I was carefull not to block and hold one line, leave enough space but not let you pass without a fight. I admire your driving, Mark, you're constantly faster, but always fair. Please, if you feel I was too agressively defensive, make a report and I'll sign it without question. When I get the red dots in the eyes I sometimes don't know when to back off.
Anyway, one of the better races here, even as the trend goes up. Grats to first four winners, hehe.

Stvarno vidim pola Juge vozi R2P.

TT

I joined in just 5 minutes before the qualifyings end and got on the 7th. Could be better, alot better if I had time...

Race started off great, I used the clutch pedal and I went from 7th stright up to 4th behind Enis. We were racing very close, but all went to hell in the pit stop... Stupid enough, I took all 4 tires and had a 23 second slower pit than Enis(seen from the Laps time list). I won't let this happen again, because I finished 20 seconds behind him.

Might not be able to overtake him but still, 23s slower pit is a dissapointment!

Other than that a very clean race and backmarkers were great too. This hour of racing seemed to me like it was only 20 minutes though.

Grats to podium!

PS: I see that Mark and I got same points right now :P
