Not referring to you Stig, but it is a joke how people are tagged all week and then decide not to bother 👎

I didn't even get an alert that I was tagged. I would have said something if I would've known.
 
I'm so sorry about our tussle @Andil, I honestly thought I had knocked you into that wall and decided to penalise myself by taking an unnecessary pitstop.
 
Yeah terrible middle race stint for me, couldn't break the 2minute lap mark no matter how hard I tried, so that was at least half a second off the pace per lap already. Had a couple of spins which cost me about 40 secs, without that maybe could have got 3rd.

Again well done to Snow for coming back from an early crash all the way to second.

I doubt the car will be competitive for the next few races, so with constantly running near the back I guess this is the end of my championship challenge.

S'ok mate, you were pretty quick down the straight so I was having trouble getting past. It didn't change any result so it's ok!

I very nearly threw that win away though by binning it into the chicane with 6-7 laps to go, and good thing Filo finished when he did, wouldn't have made it round another lap with my empty fuel tank! Should have been such a comfortable win but I was made to work for it by the end. Shame smuffy left too as we were nose to tail into first set of pit stops.

Car specs (cobra v vette) felt ok to me, was difficult to pull away from smuffy and by the end of my stint he'd caught me back up again - so can't get much better than that. Ferrari seemed rapid in a straight line but both of them seemed sideways in all the corners (setup needed?) so difficult to judge true pace of that car. Snow will have done a good job on BoP so "meh".
 
Need to use the Cobras torque more. Running a gear higher through 80% of the corners got me 2 seconds a lap faster

Well, looking at the power/torque graph should be one of the first things you do before driving a car, or setting up its gears. I'm actually a bit surprised how high you and Smuffy rev the Cobra, because there is no benefit of doing so except that you can use it as a sort of inverse traction control.

Regarding BoP I was leaning towards a slight change, but now after Daytona I'm thinking we should be leaving everything as it is. I think the Vette was a little faster on fresh tyres which was evened out by the higher tyre wear later in the stint as @Andil suggested.
