I actually managed to get a 1:24:7 on my 2nd lap with the Zonda LM (with original specs: 609bhp - 1300kg - 600pp) in an open lobby at Indianopolis. I'm kind of surprised of my result because there are guys like Mini Stiggy, Caine, Nin-Chin as well as some other people that are unbelievably fast and have very good setups.

Just to let you guys know, my wife was admitted to hospital today. She has been ill all week and took a turn for the worse today. It's nothing major, so no real drama, but hence why I've been a little distant the last few days. Hopefully its only a 1 night stay for her. Either way, I don't have the energy to post results and drivers brief for Indy tonight. It WILL be posted by tomorrow night. In the mean time, the current registered drivers can confirm their attendance on the form: here.

Ooooooo I can't wait to put myself on the top step of the podium just to show the brits that A comes before B.

 

[MatheusBond]

Forget the Star Spangled Banner, time for this song to blast on the speakers at the Brickyard.

 

[Mini Stiggy]

Murcia boooyy.

 

[gtpcaine]

You forget an important word in our nations title. Great Britain! Oh and remember the first corner isnt a left turn...followed by another left, then another, then another!

 

[MatheusBond]

It is actually followed by a left though... Couldn't resist.

 

[Spirit]

Guys, stop arguing about who's going to own MY home track. I live there, it's mine.

 

[MatheusBond]

Forgot to say this earlier. I got two people on my blacklist.

@redbullrider20, for death threats to my car.
@adam46, for snarky remarks about my accent and hosting.

 

[rcb929]

Ohh yeah, well I forgot an important word in our nations title. North America. This is wear I should say Oh C*** . And with that, back to the studio.

But I said enjoyed your accent, and that I appreciated your hosting style

 

[MatheusBond]

I guess I reversed it then. I'll take you off if I remember to do it.

 

[rcb929]

Well it's only 7 hours away, home race for this season. Watkins Glen is MY home track.

Well it turns out your Corvette was already taken care of by Race Control. It's off of my destroy list, but please be cautious of who you toy with on the racetrack.

Try being faster next time.

 

[Spirit]

Try being faster next time.

Been getting faster every race. I think I've improved a ton in WEC this year, all of this GT racing is just supplementary.
