| From hell to heaven in one go! After going around practicing with the BMW to better gauge it's performance, it was really strange to get back to the Honda. It took me some time to get used to it, and i think my supreme cock up in the first lap of the first race had something to do with it. After that i was last in the race, and i climbed all the way to a top then finish when i ended up in the barrier after an encounter with Juha at bridge. Second race, more used to the car again, i managed to get a honda lockdown of the front row! This time my start was better, and coming the first corner i was in the lead, by just a bit over Yves. It was a lucky break for me, because Yves slowed the rest of the guys down just enough for me to get a small advantage that i had a really hard time managing the whole race against a very quick Coxon behind me. Was hard to keep consistency trying to be quick and safe at the same time, but i managed to do it, and in the end i redeemed myself from the first race with a win in the second! | |

| So another frustrating race. My PC problems was solved but i had no time to practice. Nobody gave me tip with car setup at the warmup, so i must hurry made by myself, but there was not much time. Result was very slow time...my bad only my.
Race1 20th place at the start was not motivating. But i had good start and race rhytm with luck. After 20 laps it was 2nd place at the independent after Dave. I calmed down and was ready to fight at the second race.
Race2 21th place ..... Good start, but again guys at the front of field made crash and i again lost my rear wing...i think it is some tradition or something like this, because it was 3rd race which i must drive without rear wing...i dont like it and hope that was last time....so i agian circled like a vulture and was again trying to keep the car on track and reach finish. 4th place at independent....
Some champ points was made and i hope next race will be much better.
Thank you HSO for racing, thanks guys for broadcasting, grats to podium and good luck at the Oulton. | |

| I shouldn't have started. With fever, headache and dizziness, it was a bad idea. Easily my worst race(s) in years. Crashes, rollovers (three per race, seriously???), miserable driving overall.
Anyway, my affair with FWD has been a disaster right from the start. I just don't get the physics, don't understand why the car does one thing and then something completely different one lap later. There must be something about weight shifting or function of front diff that i simply can't work with.
I feel kind of guilty for occupying one of the best cars in the field. I was thinking... Would some of the BMW guys swap their ride with me? I might do better with RWD. If anyone is interested, pls let me know. | |

| On the standings chart at the start of broadcast, there's a mistake with name's Greg, it's GoissEn not GoissAn. And second thing, I think it would be better xithout the wheelgun sound. | |

| My sincerest appologies for my misstake with your name Gregoire and for any other misstake that crept in. And yes, I agree on the wheelgun sounds, never noticed them before when driving myself but when looking back at the broadcast they are very clear to hear... Will have all of this sorted for the next round. And again, my sincerest appologies | |

| I've linked the broadcast on my FB Simracing account, so I am torn between first and last name as there might be outsiders watching(and judging by the likes, there were some). As there are two Richards, there's no going around using last names | |
