Tough race in the rain, but was great to see the different tracks conditions as rain eased and returned. Was going well until I went a little wide getting onto the banking and clipped the wall which removed my rear wing. Pitting 10 minutes early to repair had me returning to the pits with 5 minutes to go to get more fuel. Well done to Josh & Whitmore on the wins, also to all that finished our first wet race of the series (I'm sure most will hope the last)

Yeh was tough night at the office. Plenty of mistakes had me loosing time eveywhere.went onto inters for middle stint really was probably not the best choice in hindsight. Kept fairly clean laps after that and benefited from others dropping out of the race. Not a total bradbury and happy to take good points for the team. Congrats to all like you say cambo would not be too disappointed if this ended up being the only wet race although from a specticle point of view some great rf2 factors on show.
Every one is to be applauded for getting through turn 1 lap 1 great stuff guys much respect.

Was a good start for me stayed on wets the whole race...created a nice gap in the lead and things were going smoothly...next minute overtook sneaky...pushed through the chicane on the back straight...did what i normally did...wheels spun and the car got sideways bounced off the wall and slid infront of sneaky...sorry about that screwed both of our races...well done whitmore stayed out of trouble.cant complain with 2nd in class...well done to all...the start was epic and everyone showed respect...especially on that 1st lap.

Damn that was a challenge. Was particularly stressful trying to go offline on worn wet tyres to lap gt cars. It was alright when they were new, but I just couldn't get traction offline.
Went with the low down force set I had practiced in the dry, but ran one ratio to long on sixth gear and cost myself about 7kph in top line speed and atleast half a second per lap.
In the end I don't think it would have mattered as I couldn't have lived with Josh's pace even with the right gearing.
Well done to everyone who finished and apologies to any gt cars I met on old tyres.
