I'm very sorry for what just happened, I couldn't practice so I was terrible, sorry in the second race I was in the middle of the track and I cause problems, usually I'm not that bad I promise for the next one to practice more or not running at all. I have to say that I felt very comfortable with you guys, you are really kind and your behavior in the race is excellent, although I speak some English I'm not familiarized with the racing terms and if I don'tspeak Mmuch I will be more participative. Thank you all and you are great, sorry again I'm really angry about myself.

Race 1 was EPIC!
After 35mins and a Pitstop, Hugh and I finish with .400 between us. Welldone for the win Hugh _b

Race 2 wasn't so good.
Really sorry TmL, that was a stupid optimistic pass at T1 on the second lap. Again, really sorry :(

After my mention on TS to everyone about being carefull, I go and do that >_< >_<

Gamuz - that race 2 incident was a 50/50 call on which way to go on my part .... and I got it wrong - not your fault at all as you were trying to move out of the way.

Yeah, was a good start start to the new league from my point of view ;p
Quite liked sections of that track and as expected, some good close racing was had so enjoyed the Flat 6 mod too.

Good times chasing down Gamuz for a few laps in race 1, and then struggling to keep it together when I did cos Gordon was right on my tail then too!
Gamuz, I don't know what happened in the incident you were talking about but you were driving well (and clean!) when I was racing you.

Welcome to the other new drivers too, good to have a few more numbers. Bugger aye Zimmie, a whole lot of buildup for just 1/2 a lap each race.

And was good to have you back again in race 2 RGV. I thought you were faster than me last night so when I came out of pits just in front I knew the pressure was on to try and stay in front on cold tires and then if I managed that, stay there for another 10 laps. Those next few laps were the most exciting I remember since trying to stay in front of Rifty in the BMWs at Queensland!

Great fun guys, thank you.

Well done to Hugh and Rifty. Such PACE!!! WOW and Hugh pulled a 1.37 unreal!!

Thanks Vlad, I just couldn't find a clean way past you and then started to lose concentration towards the end. Really well done to handle the pressure, was great driving :)

Don't want to jinx us but hopefully we have broken our curse!! :look:
