only did a few laps try get more done next weke but sorry to my team mate i wont be able to make it i have to go out

soz matt

Damn that was fustrating

Qualifying was good didnt expect to get anywhere near dave but got quicker and quicker each session and was behind him by only 0.090. Gutted as i could of had pole but i lost over a tenth on my previous best in the last sector taking it easy.

Race: Starts wer awul sumin wrong with my default lights. got in to p2 ahead of dan and arjan and come on guys i was ahead and u both shot 1 up the inside of the chicane way faster u should of been to make that corner was never going to stop in a month of sundays. your both experienced now those moves are so risky if i had turned in would of been end of my race. Even tho i was in front i still didnt turn in cuz i new it was u2 behind me sorry but wen ur both behind me i shit myself lol.

Anyway in p2 and making silly tiny mistakes every few laps my consistency wernt quite up to scratch on my comeback but still miles ahead of p3.

Dave was very fast first 20 laps but after that i pretty much matched him every lap was getting in to a groove.

Before race i asked like 10 people wats ur radiator size everyone told me 3 so i went for 3 lol. BANG. dno what i did wrong next race ill try 4.

Sorry to cunnie on for some good points. Even tho my engine went i hope ive showed you i have good pace and hopefully i can keep the seat long term.

Thanks

Well that was poop again ........
Qauly went verry well Got an good solid p4 Veryy happy whit that result.



Race: well i had some good starts and i feel pretty sorry for my behavior at the start im sorry for that corry .
well ended up p5 after first corner this was the start of an dramatic race.
First i spun out after my first pit stop and pushed like and idiot to get back to the p3 group.
finaly got them in sight.Than daniel and andrew Morgie have pitted that time and me and nikolkas tried to make an gap to those 2 but that didn made any sense cus daniel was gaining on my like he was flying over the track.
at the Big straight Daniel overtoke me but i slippstreamed Back but he hitted the brakes just on the same moment in wannted to go the right and collided whit his right rear tyre.
i did an mark webber ala valencia 2010 hitted the barrier verry hard and came to an hold at the wall of champions. Well i feel sorry for daniel i hope his car is alright and i hope he will get some solid points .
well On to valencia maby that can gimme some luck after 4 dissapointing races but my main compettender Alistair brown has also crashed out the canadia gp So im still on his heels

LMFAO what a fucked up race lol

Quali - pole 0.3 off my best

Race - good start got lead stayed there, pulled out a 25 sec lead, once i pitted i put to boost 1, and took my time not to take risks,

very l8 nto race sc come out,, normaly when this happens the breaks go strange,

and yep, my breaks and about 7 other drivers breks went,, and was just a fight to stay on road, i was close to alonso and all break went almost took alonso out sry m8,

was bloody funny watching ppl spin by me every lap,,

anyway wd morgan,, good win, p9 with no break at all, and only 2 wheels, meh lol,, onto valencia a must win,,

from 1 lap ahead of the whole field, to 9th grr,, also cheers nick 4 subbing, solid job.

well wot a crazy race got my wheel taken off by loukas, then a LAP DOWN RECOAUGHT loukus
he then blocked me for 4 laps

way in to rac e got my self up to 7th brakes failed crawled round
even passed dave yes dave even though he was paked up lol
dan got 6th it was formation finnish lol
only 2nd time brakes have failed and all the top runners did also

Powercut = fail

OK first off all before i went on i remembered i had quali ban and i thaugt shit with that many people on bye bye chance to win.

So after 2 screwed start 3rd on was fine but i played so safe that i even lost places at start and i started last lol.

Now behind cunnie and dan who spun somewhere lap 10 or so.

Next pitting and had a strategy fight with andrew,dan,cunnie,arjan etc.

After corry came out of his pitstop i had huge graphic problems with my game as the screen stopped for split second and then continued but was undriveable.

Wonder how i kept it on track.

Then sc at end i got lap back on dave and his brakes felt omg i thaught i have 2 in a row in montreal but bout 4 laps later my fail aswell.

the moment with dave was scary as fck.

So just tried to bring it home and hot P3 yay.

At end sorry for matthew he could have scored some good points today but unlucky m8. Nxt time we have more luck.

Also big congrats to andrew for win and payback on me for last season montreal and rib for haning on after he lost a wheel if im right.

So onto Valencia a track i quite like

Fantastic result 2nd, best result before this was 4th so well pleased. Qual 5th. Got fantastic starts on all 3 attemts. Proper one got me into 2nd behind Dave. I was imagining Daves face as he looks in the mirror and sees a bloody Virgin behind him.

Held 2nd for about 6 laps untill Corry caught me. I gave him plenty of room but for some reason he drove into the side of me causing damage. Im guessing he thought he was passed me and could move over. 2nd attempt he hit my rear tyre at the chicane and spun me, in fairness he waited for me.

The damage suffered unsettled the car and i lost it into a wall and lost a wheel, limped to pits and waited for repairs. Came out 11th pfft.

Last SC was very knid to me, i pitted. I was on a long strategy so this was my last pit and with everyone in front needing to stop again and a bunch of mech failures I got my first podium 12 seconds behind Mr. Morgan. Sooo happy. Well done everyone who finished and especially Mr. Morgan on his 3rd win.

quali - 6th i think

race - start was pretty good but had no room to move into at turns one and two. Fell back to 8th but got ahead of a lotus around outside of turn 8, just before safety car came out.

Got past matt before battling with arjan which is always an experience . Got ahead of him into the hairpin. Pitted early, as I was on for a 4-5 stop strategy, using the options throughout the race.

Hard but fair battles later on with matthew, dan, and alonso.

Remembering the last montrael, I went conservative on brake cooling and it paid off. A late scare passing ribster but after that it was just a matter of coasting past the guys with failed brakes, and managing the lead to rib.

Congrats to rib; he said earlier in the week he had no pace but tonight he was on fire. Good strategy and very good pace, as q2 and q3 showed. Glad to win on first outing with cosie, but I know i was lucky.

Driver of the day: between dan and rib.
