Weather and briefing updated

Another fun race. First 26 laps were awesome fun with Josh and I swapping positions a couple of times, but always being within a few seconds of each other. Unfortunately I spun on the last corner and was forced to pit a few laps early for blacks due to flat spots. It was lucky that Josh was able to squeeze past my rotating DW12 because there would have been smoke everywhere. I should have put a couple more pounds into the harder compound tyres I think, they were just a bit too loose for my liking in the last stint and I couldn't get a comfortable setting with the rollbars.

Well done to Josh, Johnny and everyone that finished. Special congrats to Quandore, you made it to lap 40 this week mate on a pretty tough technical track. Hopefully you can see the chequer at Road America next week =)

hehe thanks mate, I think i actually managed to run 20 laps or so, before quitting out of frustration. I stayed connect as you two guys were battling like pros. Too bad for the spin mate. I will take a different approach for the next race, trying to focus on a decent balance and consistency - I can't drive these things for more than a couple of laps.
Well done Josh.
