Race 1-Punted after couple of laps giving me puncture and suspension damage, after pit stop was just about a lap down so quit.
Race 2-Got a stop-go penalty sat on grid for illegal overtake! Then distracted started when another car jumped the start and got a drive-thru penalty, went straight in to serve it and pulled up behind Oyvind at pit exit, when he left I left (no lights for me?) and both of us got disqualified.
Another night wasted.

I thought it was very bad of you and did not restart the race I thought you wanted to bring the most possible drivers to start I'm very disappointed with this, but I understand why you did not

Not much preparation for this one. One hour of practice wasn't enough to find a good rhythm, but I got there near the end of an eventful but mistake free race 1. 4th was more than I expected!
I found something to make the car more predictable, especially at Stowe, for race 2. That I meant I was at least able to keep in touch with those battling ahead. It was one fun lap where everybody just moved aside for me, that was very courteous of you guys! 6th to 3rd in one lap.
But then I was taken out in a completely avoidable accident that easily could have taken out 3 more cars. That is just too much.

Too cold into the first race as usual, i had to get my pace up slowly. Still good battles all around, even overtaking Petr on top of the line!
Race 2 was a disaster. Qualy was good, but then i jumped the start because i got a bit confused with the lack of lights and sounds, and when i went to serve the drive thru, i got a penalty for speeding in the pits...so i had to serve one again!
Was sad to see that i had the pace for a podium here, and it was a total washout... wednesdays are really hard for me lately...

It was not bad of me Oyvind, you made a mistake on the formation lap and crashed. That is bad on you, and then you chose to ESC back to the pits, again that was your choice.
It is completely your own fault and i will not restart the race for mistakes like this.

First race Yves made a great start! I could not pass him for like 6 laps because he was not making any major mistakes. After I passed him I noticed I was losing power...looks like my gaspedal was not working properly..that problem endured until the end of the race..only came home 6th
Second race I made sure I did not had any pedalproblems. I made a good start and stayed in the lead until the end of the race. Behind me I saw massive fights for 2nd place which made it easier for me to run away...that's how I like it
Thx for broadcasting Jonathan and thx to the HSO admins for the organisation

It seems I really have to spend less time practising to get points in this series. I hadn't done any testing and didn't go online before qualifying having done zero laps on this track, and still managed to finish 9th in both races after a nice fight with Miroslav each time. I can live with that.

For the 1st race I just managed to pip Mick Chapman to pole for the Independents. I still can't get these cars moving off the grid very well and that with not seeing any start lights left me just about last going into Copse Corner. After some decent overtakes I moved into the lead of the Independents and then built up about a 10 second lead. With 3 laps to go I noticed that I was low on fuel and would need to make a pitstop. After the pitstop I chased Honza but there was no way past so a lowly 16th place overall and 4th Independant. It should have been much better, but all my own fault. Race 2. Again pole position for the Independents. Another poor start saw me drop down the field a bit. Managed to battle my way back past the other Independents and onto the tail of some works cars and with Juha making a mistake on the final lap I was able to finish 8th overall and 1st Independent. Congrats all (I only saw clean racing) and thanks for the broadcast.

I'm sorry for my frustration from Silverstone, it's not fun that this happens, I'm an old man and have to train much more a kid for you and could keep the same speed as you do. I was forced to and ESC, when my front bumper fell off and the car was impossible and run. I would then start from pitlane, waiting for all cars passed, but when I started driving, I got DQ, I could not see any lights out of the pitlane. The same thing happened to Alan, so I thought it should have been a restart.
