    This may be a replay thing but even the flag was waving with still one lap to go. Only my crew chief knew we still had another lap.

    My race was a lot of fun. Close racing beginning and end. Although the end may have been a lot duller if i hadn't turned the pit limiter off at the non-endurance version's pit exit. Slowed way down, but it didn't matter.

    But because i stretched the 1st stint to the max, i had low fuel and fresh tires to put on a charge. Stretched the gap i had as much as possible before taking the "Stop/Go" as late as allowed. Lost a couple positions doing that, which left me quite a bit of ground to recover before i could challenge to get them back, but made for a very intense and enjoyable final stint.

    [i should note that i benefited in that charge from an unfortunate incident at Raidillon which left me with one less car to pass.]

    I should also apologize to Stephen, I was involved in that crash too. Really sorry about that contact that sent you into the wall, Stephan. I was trying to be as far left as possible, but it was not enough :/

    Really nice race for me, except the micro freeze problem during qualy. I was running 10sec slower than I should. I think it is linked to the skin problem ... yes Nick, you stole my skin :D
    So I disconnected and went back with a standard skin, and ererything was fine, then. I was able to race properly (especialy the pit stop that I finally did without messing it, a premiere for me) and get back to third place at the very end of the race, with a splash and dash pit stop that allowed me to get back on track just in front of Kostas :cool:;)

    Freddy Hell.

    I can only apologise for this I caught the Audi at the top of Radillion and had a split second to go left into another car or right down the grass. I didn’t even realise I’d made contact with the other car until I saw the investigation and watched the replay back.
    Hindsight is 20/20 and I should’ve lifted off.

    Hi Peter,
    It's under investigation by an admin panel and you will be informed about the outcome by mail.

    Warning:

    Peter Williamson has been issued a warning as a first offender for punting another driver in the Spa event.
    Peter has also been placed on the Drivers watch list for several incidents that proved to be dangerous to other drivers in Imola and Spa.

    (Thomas Holzl got a penalty without warning because he punted 2 people in 1 event without doing a drive-through.
    He will take the penalty in his next event.)

    Will the points for LMH class be updated? or is there protests still pending?

    Mark Hightree was out of town for a few days, but now he's back and will take care of it :)
    The protest is handled in the Spa forum.
