    Congratulations to Guido, Caitlin & Kostas on the top three spots in the Championship, with 5 wins, 5 poles and 12 podiums between them it was a showcase performance.

    Thank to everyone who participated and made this one of the strongest series we have run recently at SRO :)

    I've not heard of that specific message before, but maybe it's a new one introduced by S397 in the recent updates. Oussama the race had already started when you tried to join the server, which is why you got the "Pending Open Session" message. Of course you would not get in as you were not on the server when the race started, at least I don't recall seeing you in Qual or Warmup.

    Series to forget for me, I just could not for the life of me figure out how to dial out locking on downshifting.
    Made my way up to 7th but then 2 spins on my own dropped me to 13th... booooo!

    Grats to the podium runners, outstanding pace!!
    As Patrik said, we had a great battle with Oli during the whole race.
    First half i was faster, but when my tires were cooked i was under
    enormous pressure. Great fun mates, thanks a lot.

    I have really enjoyed this series and am pleased with my result , its been fun.:)
    My race went well , pace was good, but my consistency was unfortunately lacking :(which allowed @Caitlin Penny and @Guido Verhelpen to pull a gap.
    Congrats to Caitlin on the race win and Guido for P2 , I could see you two having a good race.

    Unfortunately I don't think that I will be able to join the GT4 Nissan series due to the 6.00pm gmt time as I don't finish work until 5.30pm bit of a push to get home.
    Have fun and have a good series!!!:)
    Thx as always to Ken and all for great racing.

    It would be the same for me, but I think with the clock change, the races should start as usual. Or am I wrong?

    Anyway, to my race, I always wanted to try this car at least at one race. This was the last chance and it was on short notice. I have to agree, great car although it can be a bit tricky for sure. But the biggest issue for me was, that I underestimated how much my car rolled forward before the start. A Drive-Through Penalty was the result, but it was fun to chase the pack and to pass some Cars.

    A big congrats to all podium players and top players in the serie. :cool:
    Also to all that participated in the serie it was great with big grids .
    As always to admins for all the effort and fun for us all.:)
    Congrats to Gerhard a fine race performance from you.
    My race ended before it began , with the crash in first corner, after that my focus disapperad did try to race the car
    for a couple off laps but had top pit . So that was another :mad: race.

    Apologies Michael LaBelle for the rear end, I put out too later when I tried to make the pass. Sorry about this, it ruined both our races :(

    @Philipp Pichler , yes you are right, my mistake, getting my GMT and BST mixed up, cheers:)
    Sorry your race went wrong Bjorn, frustrating again, sometimes it just always seems to go wrong.
    Onwards and upwards.:)

    Sorry @Björn Johansson I may have started the t1 crash, I had no where to go in front with you behind I think Kostas came across which caused the spin.

    @Julian Smith well done I know you were managing the gap, no way I could keep up.

    Thank you to the organisers it was a great series, one of the best I've done.
    What time exactly are the races starting for the nissan? I'm reading 18.15 gmt but 19.15 also? Shame it's so early I won't be home from work either:(

    Great series, I had a lot of fun. I was surprised how good this car was to drive as I don't usually get on with the porkers. This last race was the closest of the series for me, really good racing with Patrik and Gerhard, usually 0.5 to 1 seconds between us most of the race.

    Grats to the champ and well done to all competitors! Thanks admin too and I hope we get a repeat of this series in 2023.
    p.s. still hoping for an AMS2 mid week race with modern GTs or open wheel ;)
