#45 John Cook
#60 Petr Hlavac
#77 Jonatan Acerclinth

Then I'll confirm my presence

Regrettably absent.

Present!

Altough with a bruised finger so I'll just stay at the back.

My brother came home after half a year and the family dinner was rescheduled from Monday to today. Sorry for this last minute change, but this clearly has the priority. Enjoy the race!

I'll drive the #60 if possible tonight

OK

Dont make it tonight, i will be back for Indy time trials

Un des ressorts de mon volant a casser pendant les qualifs, impossible de réparer en moins d'une heure, voire une heure et demie...

Décidément cette course d'Hockenhime je ne devais pas y participer... La précédente course, j'avais récupérer une voiture au tout dernier moment pour finalement que la course soit annulée... Quand çà veut pas...

Bonne course à tous

Well that was more like a demolition derby,got hit 3 times before the 2nd chicane

coming out of the long sweeper, car ahead went wide on the grass and was slow. i had a big run and was closing fast, it looked like they were going to stay on the left. just as i was pulling out to the right, they started to move to the right and shifted gears. i swerved and lifted and think i cleared the rear bumper but somehow made side contact that pulled us both off the track on the straight. i really dont get the logic behind changing lines at that point, our speed difference was large and this track is narrow, the gear shift and check up at the same time; where did you expect me to go?

race setup was good , had a pretty good start but got pushed out the first corner then the big carnage and ofcourse a disco,

im on the brink of retirement i swear!

Well, you also left me no space to survive heading towards the first chicane...

And when whatever happened ahead of us, I could only try to avoid left, but that's where you went aswell.

I avoided the first lap carnage but engine failure again. Grille tape 30%.

First lap carnage in Procar at Hockenheim, where have I seen that before? Ha yes 

Thanks for the battle Juha and sorry if I hit you once. In turn 1 lap 21 your car disappeared and I don't know if I hit you. It seemed GS round 1, only thing is that I didn't crash.

Good job Thiago thoroughly deserved! Well done

Grats Thiago!

I had a great race with John Thim and Ray Riddall. Thanks to the organizers for making it happen against all odds!

Quite interesting to hear people were suffering engine damage with 30% tape, because that is what I was running too. My oil temperature went up to a maximum of around 110 °C.

It was my best race in the series PROCAR.
I won several positions while the others beat and suddenly Steve Parker hit me moving from far right to the far left where I was on the line after the second ginkana. Honestly, I did not get it. My car spinning at almost 200km / h and I was hit by several other cars.
I dropped to 18th place and started to recover some positions, always with Mick Chapman on my trail. This battle lasted the whole race and I just have to thank Mick for the help during training and for the clean battle. Many thanks Mick!
In the end, the 12th place was a good prize for those who thought they would have to leave on the first lap.
