[Fábio Assunção]

May be too late now, but if it is possible sign me up for the Evora please.

 

[Jamie Fluke]

Can't make this unfortunately.

 

[Marko Hannula]

Thanks for a great race guys

 

[Stefan Schmitz]

Same here. And sorry to, I guess it was Reinhard, for kicking you off the track in the third to last corner on the last lap, my tires were quite finished - which is why I powerslided into you excellerating out of that turn.

Thanks for a great race guys

Marko we had a good little race, I made a mistake into T2 or 3 and think I held you up, David just kept his foot in and passed us both lol ... I tagged some one when a 312t had a moment in front of them - sorry about that but I had like nowhere to go.

Good race all . Can't remember who passed me on the last few laps but it was an awesome clean move - nice

 

[Stelios]

This was a great race but the 312 was too tiresome to drive for 20 laps. What a beast.
Some nice fights here and there, also passing 8 Evora's at launch was awesome

Gonna take a shower.

I'll have to say that imho this car combination was'nt very good. The 312t is so much slower going into corners that I'm impressed that not more Lotus crashed into my back (happend only once). On the start-finish straight I flew past some Lotus that had overtaken me, with something like 15-30 kph speed difference, just to hold them up for the couple next corners. It felt like 24h racing with different classes. Also the laptimes were quite different - after qualifying there were only Lotus on the first 7-8 places..

Yeah, we were racing each other like half of the race But I guess I was a bit slower than you

Not much in it, I made a mistake as felt the pressure...as the tyres started to wear I managed to pull clear.

 

[Akis]

Thanks for coming guys. The Evora was way easier to drive, that's true. Stelios was fighting for 2st place though and that proves the 312t has the speed in the right hands

I was very displeased by some hit and run incidents I saw +some very careless (I'm very gentle with my words) rejoins to the track that caused crashes. There is a reason I always write to the special notes to use the map application and the virtual mirror.

 

[Dion de Martines]

What an amazing race.

Start went well, then I crashed with one of the Ferrari's (their brakes are insanely powerful!), went down to 9th, had to fight back, crashed 2 more times, and got a chance to fight for second in the last few laps.. Stelios did a wonderful job keeping that beast under control and on track, but fortunately for me he lost control for half a second, went a bit wide, and handed me second place.

I felt I had great pace all race long. What tires did you use? The mediums were the way to go, I can say in happy retrospect!

Highlights video being uploaded, expect many Evora vs Evora and Evora vs Ferrari fights!
(and some curses from Henri on Skype )

I had an amazing race! A no-stop battle against @Dion de Martines who was faster than me, but I still managed to move from the 9th position after a terrible first lap to the 4th place!

Actually I was in 3rd place on the final straight, thanks to @Stelios Fevgatos 's mistake, but the amazing speed of the 312t saved him

I also passed someone on the last lap after arrabbiate corners, I don't remember who was, but I'm sorry I touched you a little exiting the corner, my car slided a bit when I went back on the throttle.

Btw, thanks to everybody

 

[Stelios]

The 312 was a nightmare for me, i was deliberately doing 3-4 secs laps slower than my qualify lap because my main target was not to spin it for the whole race, which i didn't and i am happy for it, although i came really close some times!

The curbs were a deathtrap for the 312 and that S right before the last turn was making me grit my teeth every lap.

Being 2nd for 18 laps and then losing a position on the last lap was a bummer tho

Oh, and that evora-filled mirror wasn't helping either

Nice video
Sorry for the touch at 5:05. Was trying to make your life difficult by staying on the inside. It was a brave move though

In general an OK race for me. I chose the hard tyres as I noticed my tire temps were getting too high in Practice with medium. Was just lacking some speed overall. Great drive by the top 5, incredible, good job.

 

[Stefan Sparco]

I over achieved by qualifying in third. Also I don't think hard tyres in the race were the right choice, anyone else go for hards on the Evora ?

Sure enough, was overtaken in the first few corners but there was a crash and I found my self in third again half way through the first lap and that's where I stayed for most of the race. Could see that Stelios was struggling in some parts of the lap but I couldn't overtake him.

The faster guys caught up towards the end and I finished fifth. Was hoping that Dion and Stelios would crash into each other but still fifth was my best ever finish .

Was quite disappointed after the race but some fights made me feel bit better, was about to quit from this race many times but Dion kept me going.

"Hunter", I like it .

Looks like I qualified in fourth but was lined up in third place. Game bug ?
