Holy 🤬 . Wow. Treated as a punchbag and barely a few seconds ahead of GT's at end.

Sorry to anyone I made contact in, it was quite a hard track to learn to pass GT's.
I'm going to stick with PT for the rest of the season, had much more fun than I've ever had in GT/ST 👍
4th in my first PT race, not bad

Same here, anyone that I hit, ran into, wrecked, got in the way... sorry. 
That was a crazy race, but despite finishing dead last, I had fun.

Back end over the place tonight, couldn't keep the thing in a straight line and didn't even manage a lap below a 1:15 while others were in the 1:13's constantly. Made around 5 or 6 stops and was in 7th in class for around 95% of the race

Was that before or after you hit me?
Yes at that time I was carrying damage and it was a glance not a hit AND it was a bit of a daft move too coming into that corner.

Made a mistake after about 20 minutes after having opened up a gap early on, which apparently wasn't as big as I had originally thought, because Sakery immediately took the opportunity and rushed past. There was some traffic coming up behind me in the switchbacks almost immediately after, which made me lose concentration for a moment. I spun and hit the barrier (and blocked a Ford, I think - sorry!). Sustained a lot of damage and limped back to the pits - dropped to 7th in GT. My original plan was to stop once after about 40 minutes, so that was thwarted. I actually came out just behind Sakery, who was second at the time. I managed to unlap myself, and Akmuq apparently made a pitstop, so I was at least on the same lap again. Made up a lot of time and places afterwards and found myself in the lead again at about 55 minutes after Sakery's stop. I wanted to see, if I could go through to the end, but it became apparent that it didn't make sense, when Akmuq came up behind me, obviously being faster. I then pitted for the second time and thought I would bring in 3rd.
Not far from the end though I caught up with Sakery and suddenly Akmuq wasn't in front anymore (he might have had damage or also tyre problems?). Had a close fight with Sakery for a number of laps, including passing him the first time and running wide in the last corner to have him slip through again, passing him over the bridge and being distracted by Ranhammer in braking into the switchbacks (Sakery got by again), and finally passing again into the last corner to finally make it stick.
Eventful race with heart-stopping moments (tunnel full of smoke not knowing wtf happened or where everyone was and just blasting through), and quite a bit of luck in the end!

Odd thing though. I glanced the wall going into the tunnel at nearly 100mph on a couple of occasions and got no damage. Hit a fence in one of the hairpins doing only 10mph and got suspension damage, go figure?
This was definitely a two stop race for the GT class as tyres where always going to be an issue and having got damage an about lap 8, I didn't want to pit early on so carried that all the way to lap 22 when I pitted first time round. In the second stint I again got damage, this time more serious but again carried it for over 20 laps. Third stint, you guessed it, damage again, so realising my 4th place was safe, pitted for a third time and on this stint got no damage.
I'd be surprised if anyone got away doing the whole race without damage.
Great race with a lot of laughing going on but driving that track was definitely "The best of times, the worst of times".

Well that was a surprise. I was so close to taking pole but couldn't get the car hooked up through turn 2 in quali which cost me the lap as I couldn't make up the 3 tenths I was losing through there. However the start was... interesting, Yera going off at turn 3 was scary and then Joe having an excursion gave me the lead. That track is so hard to overtake on that I could hold him off. Then everyone started to fall off and I gained a massive lead so that even when I pitted for damage I had a 40 second lead going into the last 6 laps.
However, then I came up on Randy at the entrance to the tunnel on the final lap after setting my fastest first sector. I got turned into Jaguar Jam by Randy's Camaro, turning into me and the wall. Luckily I could hold onto the car until the end... But it was rather close, too close...
Well done everyone for getting through it and Snow on the GT win!
