To clarify to what happened in my race (well...my pace was pretty far off everyone elses, literally had 1 afternoon plus a bit before the actual race to practice the combo since I got back from holiday) But I think the first thing that happened, is because I have to use the DFGT not my usual G27 (it's faulty had to be sent back) it isn't hard mounted, and I must have pushed the brake a bit too hard, and the whole pedal set slid off the mounting board, so until I pitted after first stint, my pedals were at about a 45 degree angle and it was not easy at all to drive the car.
I did manage to make a few positions, JTV made a mistake or 2 and I think I worked up to 7th behind pekka, closed the gap up after I started to break away from Speedy, then JTV moved in a bit closer to me and on the big right hander on the speedway heading towards the start/finish, I got a couple of seconds lag out, which projected all the cars in the same direction they were going when the lag occured, which meant instead of turning the corner, Jon went in a straight line and T-boned me straight into the wall, when the lag finished, he was half way down the straight, and I got some damage to the car. Jon obviously didn't realise what had happened and so stopped and waited (was really hoping you would carry on Jon, as you said after, you didn't hear or see any collision, so you should have just gone on, I kinda mucked it up for you).
Just as Silver said, got me frustrated that I was at the back from things like that so didn't have a great race. Hoping NA race later on I can put in a better run. Thanks for the first stint though, those of you who I raced with, had some great battles with Speedy, Al and JTV at various times.

Compared my times to the race, it could have been a nice race and the combo was awesome ! 
). Enjoyed the combo alot though, great car.
