| FFS! 3rd place, penultimate lap... power cuts. Was an interesting race though. I didn't know if I could make it on fuel, so had to change driving style halfway through. That worked, so that 3rd place seemed secure. | |

| well... had a amazing first race taking the in the Total Cup, but in the second race my game for some odd reason started freezing randomly for 1 or 2 seconds and the game lost track of what position i was in and put me in last. So i went to the pits and just disconnected so i wouldn't take someone out with me when my game would decide to freeze again | |

| No power cut in race 2! Woohoo!
Too bad about Richard's absense, but I had a fair battle with Jan all race long. Got a bit sick of his liberal use of the track limits, so went on the attack and got him on the outside into the second chicane. Had to play defense the rest of the way, but held on to that 2nd place!
I got the hang of the Vauxhall now, but it really lacks aero. At least it is quite predictable when you got a rhythm going. | |

| Two top 10 finishes, and first Mondeo home in both races again, couldn't ask for more with that tank. In race 1 I had my by now usual battle with Dave Simmons, who I managed to keep behind me. The last lap accidents saw me move up a few places to 6th. Race 2 was a bit of a lonely affair, until the last lap when I got under Miroslav's bumper, but couldn't find a way through. Next up is Snetterton, which could suit my big bus better than twisty Oulton Park. | |

| Race 2 sucked. I got damage in warmup lap from Honza. Had a decent start, but then somene pulled an impossible three wide move and i got punted off the track. Sadly, i did the same to Honza just two corners later (sorry ) and another lap later i made a mistake, broke off the rear wing and parked the car. BUT... The first race was awesome. I can't thank Ray enough for that swap. There was some very intense racing, i was sweating like crazy even before halway point. But it was so much fun! P5 is just a nice bonus. BMW is not really suitable for this door-banging kind of racing, but it feels so much better than FWD. If feel way more in control. So that's a huge plus. RWD made BTCC great again, at least for me And Ray seems to enjoy the Laguna, so it's a win-win. | |

| Congratz to Greg for the race wins! First race went pretty well for me but Greg was a bit too fast to follow close. Second race I managed to take pole. Fors the first couple of laps it was excitingly close behind Jan who had another rocket start in his 4WD. After 2 or 3 laps Jan made a mistake in the hairpin and I braked very late to pass him, Greg did as well and gave me a little nudge from behind which was just enough to put me on the grass. After that I had a chaotic lap with my Honda teammate. I am wondering if you care to look in your mirrors Richard W? You did not gave me enough room when my front was next to you in the fast right hander while you had sufficient room on the left, so we both went off and lost even more time. Mr. Honda will punish us again..2nd Honda collision in 2 races Anyway it was good fun overall, on to the next one. | |

| Well no practice, was really hard to get into the groove. Then i threw away my 4th place in the last lap of the first race... second was a total write off. Just cruised to the finish at the back @P. Blom It was my line, it was downhill, and no, i didnt have enough room on the left, unless i wanted to go out of the track and crash on my own. Just because your nose is alongside the rear bumper of someone doesnt mean that someone must back off and let you pass, specially when you are on the outside line for the next corner... anyways, its a racing incident in my book. | |
