Had a great night.... as with Benny, It was good to race on a track that I knew and I will take that on-board for any future series that i may be involved running.

Race one. the first part of the race is a blur because all i remember of it was trying to keep Webber behind me for the last half. I cracked under the pressure and he got me with a few to go
Well done Benny for the win!

Race 2 - another great race. Was consistent with Benny near the end but not good enough to catch him.... Benny wins again!!! cheers

Race 3 - haven't watched the replay yet but somehow ended up in front..... Webber was catching me near the end but concentrated on being smooth with no mistakes and took the win bounce

Well done Benny on the round win.....

Great night Last night First time I think I have been truely Competive all season maybe as atleast I knew the track.

In Practice worked on tyre life and consistency which paid off for me in the first two races.
just before qual dropped the fuel load and had a crack and stuck it second on the grid missing the Webbers time by .3.

Got to Qual and couldn't quite repeat Webbers time had pace on him through first and second sectors but he well and truely had me in the last sector.

Race One
I Really struggle getting these cars off the line and but had a dive at the first corner with kiwi on the outside but he out run me to the next corner. Heading into the last turn Webber got the inside wall adn I knew I was in with chance. At the end of the main Straight my car was great and was able to work past Kiwi and make a break. Watching the gap managed to be able to look after tyres for when Webber came back through I would be in a state to battle. But Thankfully Kiwi drove brilliantly and held off Webber until a few laps to go. I was then able to crank it back up and hold a gap to the end. First Win in This Class Very Happy

Race Two
Got a pretty average start again but after a lap found my self applying a little pressure to webber for the lead. Blistering pace first few laps as we dipped in to the mid 3's. With my setup with softs on the rear had better drive throught the first two sectors and Webber come un stuck and looped it heading for the hair pin. Unfortunately had computer freezes after these so didn't get to continue battle. But Kiwi on the other hand was about 4 sec's back and with the way I had pushed the first 4 laps had really damaged my softs and really struggled to hold at his consitent pressure matching my lap time if not quicker all the way to the end. But Held on for First Again

Race Three
Average start again found my self after a few laps trying to keep up with Kiwi who was flying. I over did it trying to close the gap and spun. Popped out behind Dano and I had more fun in this race than the other two even though I won both previous races. We had a great battle side by side many times giving each other room in the end Dano was to good for me an I brought it home 4th

Looking forward to Laguna as I know this track too

One point difference Dano, that battle for 3rd last night paid off looking foward to last round

So 109 to 108 with one round to go.

Some great fun racing last night, including at least one spin per race which meant I had to do a lot of overtaking - all moves felt good and I hope the people being overtaken felt the same way. It was a good lesson that massive one-lap pace is not the only thing to tune a setup for! Well done to Benny and kwik-kiwi for well deserved wins all around.

In race 3 I had the most epic start, leaping from 4th to have the inside line into T1. I was so excited that I completely missed my braking point, and was wondering where everyone had gone when up came a rapidly decreasing radius. After that I caught Dano and he was driving well, so it took a couple of laps to get close enough on the straight to have a go. Then I was chasing Benny and kwik when I came across Benny facing the wrong direction. I was pushing 110% to catch kiwi but he managed to keep the gap constant. Although there was not much overtaking (I could see Dano and Benny were very close), the race was still exhilarating because of the pressure.

The Bimmers sound awesome, look awesome, and I'm looking well forward to the next race at Laguna Seca.

Excellent! It all comes down to the last round. I actually know Leguna Seca although not from rfactor.

Hidden Valley was brand new to me but I started to enjoy it by time the races came around.

Race 1 n 2
I have to review the replays. They werent great.

Race3 was the most fun for me too.

I did my duty at the back holding up Webber for a couple of laps but he got along side down the main straight and I was never to going to fight very hard early on.
Benny had just had an off an so turned up in my mirrors soon after.
Benny also got along side on the main straight. I follwed the same policy as with Webber and let him have the inside line into T1 but this time I managed to get back under Benny in the corner and exit ahead of him. That tactic had nearly worked on Webber as well.From there I drove as cleanly as I could owning the racing line.
