Bravo Carlo, tu es un beau double champion

Thank you m8s , very pleased to have won both 2 championships with 1 race to go.
TC: had a good qualy time, but i missed a gear change in the final sector when i was 0.6 up on the pole, qualified 2nd.
Had a really good start and took 1st, then i tried to push as hard as i could to open a good gap to the Alfas, only Gui in the Cortina could follow me for the whole race, giving me some bumps on the straight to gain speed and we managed to open a 10 second-gap on the Alfas with many laps under the pole position time (under 2.24 on race trim).
With 3 laps to go he passed me on the long straight and i followed him until the last lap,repassed him on the straight, but i went wide and he took 1st place back, but on the following right-hander he went wide too and i retook 1st place and kept it until the checkered flag.

GT:
Took the pole with a very good lap , on this track the superior power of the Porsche made a huge difference.
Anyway, had an awful start and at T2 i was 7th.
I took 1 lap to climb up through the field and regain 1st place, then my race was quite easy, pushed for 2 laps and the gap was more than 5 seconds, then i slowed down a bit and took another win with a faultless race.

See you for the season-ending in Albi!

Grats Carlo for the excellent TC/GT double !

Thanks to Tiago I had a great TC race Wednesday ! We spend the race together, passing each other up to two times a lap. Really the kinda racing I'm looking for with these cars, so thanks mate for that classic, clean and exciting race !

See yall in Albi

The piston salad had some kind of metallic taste, don't know why
