I will say I'm quite upset about the end of yesterday's race with Ayrton retiring the car. Today will just be a Sunday drive for the most part but I will still do the best I can.

It's safe to say this season has kind of gone bust for me. :guilty:
 
^ To satisfy the curiosity of the commentator, what did actually happen? The car came into view backwards into the pitwall but we didn't see how it arrived there?
 
He had unlapped me and pulled away and then during S1 he lost a few seconds and seemed to be going slower during that lap (I was right behind him again) and then he pitted and carried a bit too much speed and hit the pit wall.
 
Incident Report sent. :D
I've analysed my two first stints (you disconnected just as I got out of my second stop ). And seems you didn't close in anything in the second stint. Gap up before my first stop was 11s and gap just before second was round 13. So you would have had to step it up pretty good to close that time :) especially since my last two stints were the fastest. But anything could've happened, still sad to miss out on that fight.

Yeah I made up 5 seconds but lost it all in the chicane early in my 2nd stint. And it was downhill from there.

In those first stints I was down in the 54s at the end of the stint. In the last one I only dropped to high 51s when trying to lap adam. But you could have closed up and no one knows if my nerves would have kept up :P

Well that wasn't the best of races, noticed that I ran with 27bhp less than I should have :P

I wish matheus the best of luck in the upcoming races and with finding a new teammate.
 
Felt so sorry for RS, 2 corners to go! Was tempted to stop and push him across the line, as I wasn't racing for overall victory and he had led pretty much start to finish, but thought better of it.. didn't wanna get in trouble with the boss! :lol:

Good and bad race for me, amazing 1st lap -- 12th to 4th!! Then outbraked myself into the chicane on lap 3, picked up damage and forced to pit after having to sit there and pretty much let the entire field past. I then had to extend my stints from 25, to 30 minutes to try and stay in contention as I knew a 5 stopper would have been curtains, so drove at about 90% for the next hour and a half, leaving one final push at the end on low fuel to at least try and grab fastest lap point, try and salvage something from the weekend.

I had one little scare about 35 minutes in, my ps3 + pc share a screen, and when my pc fires up, my screen goes black for a few seconds and then goes back to ps3 input... well my missus started up her laptop, which then connected to my home network, and brought my pc out of sleep mode... I quickly hit start, and unfortunately, Zovo hit the back of me as I was coasting, sorry about that mate! I don't think it gave you damage luckily, but still, my apologies.

I knew I was about 25 seconds down, with 1 pitstop still to make, whereas RS was going to the end, so that would put me about 50 seconds behind with 20 minutes to go. But I also knew I could go absolutely hell for leather for those 20 minutes, whereas RS would be coaxing the car home on worn tyres, I said in my head, I can gain 3 seconds a lap, 12 laps left, that's 35 seconds, so a decent size mistake from RS and I could still win.

A couple laps to go, I spotted RS coming out of the hairpin as I was entering, so I knew I was close, I then saw the gap come down considerably by the time I reached the chicane, and as I came around the final corner to start the last lap, there he was. I could see he was struggling for grip, so I bided my time, he put up a good defence, but I managed to get a decent run down the back straight, just pulled out in time before he ran out of fuel, and that was that really.

Really enjoyed the race, just a shame the win means nothing!

Also, what the hell happened to all the LMP field (except Glen) on the opening lap??

Glen lag punted all of us. You had yourself a good race mate thanks for being aware of us arrogant prototypes. 👍
 
Well I still haven given up on the GTE drivers championship but I'm 46 points down. It's still possible, but unlikely.
Well according to my maths with predicted points from Nurb added on, if TMBO finish 1st or 2nd at Madrid or 3rd with a bonus point, the title is mine, even if your teams wins every race and gets all 3 bonus points in each.

Might just sit out the Asian leg now Bathurst has been replaced for scum drink ring! :lol:
