Well that certainly made 10 weeks fly by mega quick. My debut GTP series comes to an end, sadly a little!
My goals for this season were realistic, of course everybody wants to win races and inevitably the championship but I knew I wouldn't have the strongest chance for either, especially straight out of the gates for the start of the year. I wanted to aim for the top 3/5 at least, and maybe a race win or two. Unfortunately there were a few fast guys that were consistently filling the podium all season so it was a big challenge to stay in the top 5 all the time, and didn't manage my first race win at all. But some key highlights for my season would be definitely picking up momentum towards mid-season and leading into my home race at Bathurst, of which I secured my highest qualifying and race results.
I feel I had the best chance to learn and grow in the GTR, as I don't have a lot of gt6 tuning knowledge the Nissan was most familiar for me so I was glad to have secured it as my car choice. Only having my wheel for a couple weeks before the start of GTWC I was slowing learning my G27 through the few rounds and then inevitably had to find more pace through tuning once my speed increase plateaued from DS3-G27, but I'm happy with my results considering. As I said something I'm very much still learning and at tracks like Spa, Monza and Nurburg GP I struggled a little in finding a comfortable setup and the main pace for my Nissan on unfamiliar tracks which lost my momentum to attack 3rd position in points.
Overall I had massive fun being involved in this series, both behind the scenes as an ORA Steward and a rookie driver. Some great little battles I had with a few!
Congratulations to my team mate
@Ramalhinho91 for winning AM and some great drives and results from the leading drivers,

@Mikey24 to name the obvious ones. I was a little sad to see the attendance drop a lot half way through the season but still great races and a lot of fun.
Congratulations and thank you to everyone in PRO, the winners and the rest of the field making a great watch on the broadcasts for the main game. The pace amazes me and I very much look upto everybody in that field.
A massive thank you to the ORA team for putting together a great season and for all their work, and of course involving me in the team
@Litchi @CodDemon101,
@Brutaka and to the rest of the Stewards. Finally a thank you to the broadcast team
@brntguy @TeamCZRRacing and
@OriginalCheezIt for putting on a great show, I loved your commentating and coverage guys, hope you can join back for next season!
I can't wait for GT Cup S2, I had discovered GTP and ORA through the last couple races in GTCup S1 so I'm looking forward to starting from round 0 in that. With the same car it should help my skills and tuning further develop so I'm keen to see how I can improve within the off-season series.
But hey, Bathurst was top...
