WHOOHOOO! Great performance again by the boss. 2 wins after 2 races, that's incredible! And it looked so easy. Charrel and I will definitely have to fight harder in the main series, but Dan's performance shows that the car is competitive! That is definitely a good sign. Now Charrel and I will both be in the need to bring home points, but this track is so incredibly small at some places, you've seen it. One little mistake and you're in the wall, especially when you're fighting with someone. That'll be a hard fight.

Due to brain fade on my part, I didn't get a screenshot of the race result. Fortunately, I have gpxpatch running text logging and was able to extrapolate the results from the log file. (Stu)

Race was going great, until Jake hit me. Points down the drain. Oh well, onto Suzuka.

First things first, well done to gary on a points finish in his debut grand prix, well done!
On my own performance... im glad i managed to keep out of trouble, gain a few places in pitstops and accidents, but still have the speed to get myself up into 10th place after a poor qualifying. I must now have scored my record season total for points, in only 2 races so far!

Good luck to the races guys for pushing the car to even further heights on this track

Delighted with a points finish in my first outing! I knew it would be important to keep out of trouble and bring the car home, and I'm very happy that I managed it. The car was great to drive, and I'm looking forward to the next race!

no points for me and also the consciousness that I brought Juliano out of the race.What a bad race for us...

My GPGSL Career

Poor Jake is the unluckiest driver so far this season. Two outstanding performances ended up in tears. Don't worry mate, Suzuka will treat you well.

As for Mr. Stefan, he was brilliant with that 4th. Valuable points for him.

Judging from their pace, Rodrigo and I should have better races here.



Stats: 139 Starts / 7 Wins / 9 Poles / 5 Fastest laps

Strange how I fell from 7th to 11th. I don't want to blame our mechanics, but it is second race in a row that I lost some positions. Next time I'll have a penalty, so I'm not very optimistic about it, too...
