No. You cannot switch to another car once you have made a choice.  This is in the rules section.

I'm absent tonight. Good luck for the ATS sub's!

Don't think I'll be able to drive tonight, so my Teapot is free.

I will take Keke's car but no testing and half qually gone its going to be tough.

ok

Is there no Livestream today?

Yes there is, stay tuned on our channel

Very scary start with a lot of people missing the flag. I am not sure why Didier was so slow when I caught him. Looked like he was rear ended at very start and perhaps damaged. I tried to miss but hit him then we hit again as neither of us were exactly handling well at that point then I was in the wall with a missing LF tire. Oh well, I was in the bottom 25% anyway so cleaner track for the leaders.

Was really impressed with Dana's qual time. Go Dana go!

Sorry Jason if my spin put you out.
Great scraps at the rear of the field.  
And to pass my team-mate on the last lap. It must have been tyre wear.

No David, I'm so slow that tires do not wear out ... I could have done almost 2 times the distance ...

I'm just not fast enough and I have trouble with traffic. Also, I was not sure my overtaking on you was clean ... I'll check on the replay ... I wanted to let you pass on the line but it was not necessary. You do it alone ...

I'm massively disappointed. First, Didier totally failed to start. Unfortunately, i was the one behind. I was just praying not to get rear-ended and started my race from P19. Due to expected low "crashrate" i knew i had to push like crazy for the whole freaking race. Last 20 laps were kind of frustrating, as Jan's and Ray's fight moved them one second ahead on the straight, i chased that second back in the twisty part and then they disappeared in slipstreaming battle again. Over and over. When Jan crashed out, i knew i can chase Ray and get that 5th place. 2 points with non-ground effect car at Paul Ricard, pretty cool, huh...  Well, with some 5 laps to go, Ray spun, i couldn't avoid the collision and hit him. I knew about the broken front wing and was hoping to make it to the finish without it. Sadly, i soon found out that my RF tyre is flat, too. Game over. After 50 laps of trying as hard as i could and eventually being in points, it's quite hard to swallow...

Emmanuel I think that towards the end of the race we were running about the same pace and I pushing as much as I could to catch you. The pass was ok I locked up the rear tyres and my car slid into yours, it was my fault . The rears also locked when I spun in front of Jason after we had a good battle. It was a hard race for 19th and 20th.
