    It was so nice to be a part off the action again:)
    And happy I didn´t quit , when it was as thoughest but all you´r nice comments
    and Gerhard offering to practise, turned me around. So what a great community!

    Did a awful start, so nervous to have a good one and not to jump it I got 2 gear way to fast:oops:
    could see Ken and Brian pass but was able to fight back and got second after Ken.
    Then I try to follow Ken as best I could , a small misstake from Ken made me a opportunity
    to pass. (I think he hit the curb :( this car dont like them at all ) .
    So after that it was all up to me , to not make any misstake . And this time I made it :eek:

    See you all at the Ginetta race!

    Very good race from Börn, he had a good pace and consistancy, he absolutely derserved the victory!

    I was happy to gain the pole, but standing next to me, teammate Stefan was my favourite, he is really fast.
    After that, curious things happend:
    Stefan pushed the wrong button and checked out, he could not rejoin in time.

    At the start, Ken went off like a rocket, he came from row 2 and overtook everybody :)
    I thought, maybe it was a jumpstart, next thought was, i must iuse KERS immediately and i pushed the wrong button:eek:
    it was the camera button, so i had to take a sidestep and push the button 5 times to get the correct view.
    This costed me a few seconds. I managed to pass Brian and followed Ken and Björn, without a chance to catch them, i was to slow.

    After Ken was spinning, it was easy for Björn, he just did what was necessary and administrated his 10 sec. advantage.
    But for me hell started, Ken was pushing really hard and nearly got me, only 4x Kerspower saved me at the end.

    Grats Björn for a big win.
    And grats to Brian for winning the championship, good job mate!

    Cu all at Ginetta GT5, hopefully with our US friends Rob and Scott, always a pleasure to battle with them.
    My wish for 2021 would be, to have a larger grid at PC2, 10 drivers minimum!!!!!!!!!

    Exactly that happened, even though I was travelling in a straight line at the time and after trying in practice to get the fast damper settings adjusted a bit to reduce that "kerb" effect.
    Using Fanatec Clubsport pedals, I always like to use the clutch for a manual start were possible and this time it was pretty much perfect, allowing me to slot into the car sized gap between the front row. :) Speaking of manual clutch, that's what always catches me out with AC starts, which don't allow you to do that as the auto-clutch overrides it (what a DUMB idea from Kunos! :confused:)
    After my kerb incident it was fun chasing down Gerhard in the 2nd half of the race. I did manage to close onto his tail at one point but when he made a little mistake at one corner, I did the same, which negated probably my only chance to pass him after I'd accidentally used up my KERS/PTP allocation earlier.

    Congratulations on a well driven and deserved win for Bjorn in this final race and to Brian who started the series strongly and took the Championship win. If only I hadn't unintentionally disconnected myself in the 1st race, things may have worked out differently, but we all get our share of good/bad luck along the way, so no issues from me on that score.
    I couldn't ask for more myself. :) Despite a few issues with PC2 which will never get fixed now, I still think it's a great sim and more guys should give it a try sometime.
