Great racing. I really do love these cars.
Was thrilled to take pole, wasn't surprised to see Wilks Panzer shoot into the lead. (Great start!)
Race was going okay, made a couple of small mistakes, I then got into a miscommunication with Bruno and we collided which bent my car.
Soldiered on, had a fun battle with Rob (Great first race, I hope you stick around for more!) Sorry for the tap under braking, I just locked a wheel and it was enough. Sorry again.
Pitted on lap 40, came out just behind Gabriel, managed to close the gap and overtake him, what ensued then was a incredible battle, you really kept me on my toes. Really enjoyed it. Shame it ended that way, but that's touring car racing. Soper would have been proud! Lol
Well done to all finishers, that was a tough one.
Congrats to Anders on the win, Wilks second and Juha third.
Thanks to all that showed up.
See you at the next one!

First of all, I want to thank Jonatan for the excellent setup (You were right to make me start the car with a full tank).
I couldn't go fast all week, but I had a consistent car as long as I could spare the tyres.
Excellent start, I passed 3 cars but I decided not to fight with Francisco and gave up the position.
Everything was going well, a steady pace between 1:15 and 1:16, tires ok, Angel ahead and suddenly, Angel's car lost control, crossing my line, I couldn't avoid a strong hit. It was just going back to the track, running away from the fast line that Coxon hit me at high speed (Sorry Coxon).
I took the car slowly all crooked to the garage and it took 73 seconds of repair and the car is still crooked, with the steering wheel tilted.
From there, it was just a matter of following the booklet and running away from the fast cars so as not to be run over.
At least I was the only BMW to finish the race.

A bit disappointment in myself today. Due to the recent heatwave in Sweden, my apartment was very hot (27+ degress) and since I'm still getting used to my Fanatec wheel, I just didn't have to physical stamina to do well enough today. The FFB in Automobilista works very differently from mod to mod. For the DRM race last time out I had to max the FFB for that RWD BMW 320, but those exact same settings was waaay over the top for this FWD Volvo. Worked well for one hotlap, but I was not in shape enough to survive 80 laps. Good workout though. Pace was good, but the heat here made me loose concentration. Shame, since this kind of racing is my favorite (even though I've never been very good in super tourers).

Sorry Juha for the small bump, and sorry Anders for the big bump!And congratulations to Anders for a well managed win. I had to change 4 tires to keep the Audi on the sweet spot. It almost worked out, but almost dont pay off in racing  Was fun. Thank you to everybody that took part on this one, it made for a fun event, and a different race. A very tiring one too! |

No worries Wilks u behaved like a true Gentleman and didnt take advantage off me  Wow so much fun last nite !! Did not have the raw speed off the top 3 guys but i think my consistency helped me . And a shorter pitstop 2 tyres and 48 liters . Never thought id had a change in a FWD but these cars drive so good ! . Got really close in the end Wilks drove like a man on a mission.  . I think last nite can be summed up to one word ...... INTENSE !! Thanks all for joining  |

I had a right foot torsion last week, so I was not sure I could make the Race. I've tried but it was aking more and more each lap so I decided to stop not to get it worst.
