Great race long battling with demon braker Martin Lacina.
Also with John Thimidator! Good tough stuff as always! Unfortunately he ran wide as a result of contact when the 3 of us went into the hairpin. I feel innocent but will check the replay.

Grats Thiago!

I'll have to try running 20% for the final race.

Thanks for the broadcast guys . Congratulations to the podium.

Good job Thiago thoroughly deserved! Well done

Thanks!
It is a shame you had the first spin!! That would have been a fun draft battle!!

Great podium for Brian and Lacina!

Thanks HSO for letting me play this season with you, it's been a lot of fun.

My car #25 will be free for the last race guys. I have this day booked every year.

The results table

The feelings between me and Hockenheim remain mutual to say the least, I didn't like the track before the event and the track has been unkind to me in the past...

I took the car out and tried my best to make it drivable but couldn't stay on track for more than two laps before I would spin off and as such my Q lap was a proper banker lap, as soon as I tried to push bast the banker limit I would immediately go off...

Thankfully David and Dave sent me their setups when I asked and decided to go with Davids' setup.

Could potentially have worked but unfortunately I was caught up in the incident heading towards the stadium section, didn't even have time to see the smoke before Steves' red machine was sitting right in front of me. I was then one of the pinballs down the straight.
Sadly for me I picked up a puncture in the ensuing carnage and therefore had to retire as the pitcrew wouldn't change the tires.

Oh well, hoping for a clean race at the final race unless I find a co-driver to take the car.

Love this track so it was a shame to DNF for the first time this season.

Made a defending start against Thiago and was matched for pace. Made a stupid error on T1 that cost me dearly. Spun and 10 seconds down on Thiago. Engine gave up with 3 laps to go so that sucked.

Again though well done Thiago. You had it all under control and showed great composure

Thank you for the broadcast Jason and Alberto
