1st win of the season - Yippee ki-yay motherfucker!
Qualified 3rd .25 behind pole. Unfortunately couldn't get a
perfect lap - seems to be my weakness, can't get in the zone.
Turkey is probably one of my favorite tracks & fastest so I was
quietly confident for the race.
1st lap I took it pretty easy, was all over beno's gearbox & was
tempted to put a move on early but resisted temptation.
Beno went wide on the corner before the straight so I
capitalized with all my kers & then got in gun's slipstream.
He went defensive & I had half my car on the grass as I passed
on the inside - aaahh!
Nailed my braking point with a heavy car & dirty tires - phew!
Spent the rest of the race in the zone, extending the gap &
raced my most perfect race yet, mistake free.
After the heartbreak of China the Sauber boys are back in the
game with a solid 7th from Josh :D

Qualy 1st ...Race 3rd
i have had the worst week with getting a set up for turkey,every
set up i made was reall good in TT but was useless in a real
race....so thanks to livo for a set up and a few tweeks here
and there and i got pole.my race was really un-inventful livo
passed me on lap2 and i really couldnt do much but hold a 6 sec
gap.i didnt see another car till lap 25 when nash passed me on
his options.at that stage i noticed macca and gaz having a
battle which worked out good for me i was able to just cruze
home in 3rd.

Did not come out of this one a happy camper at all...(as prob
witnessed by my abrupt departure)
Like Melbourne, this is a track that I need to be racing on
regularly in order to perform well since I also dislike it
greatly, and the fact that I haven't been online since last
week's sprint championship really hurt me.
For some reason, I had the same glitch that Macca had at
Melbourne (and someone else had at China), and I started my race
with completely ripped up option tires after putting in 2 hot
laps in quali. After lap 2, the graining on my tires was so bad
that I had to pit...so I had to do three stints on primes, and
that was just not going to help me do well at all. I felt like I
was running consistent times, and then I just started losing my
focus and I got myself 2 drive-thru penalties as well as a time
penalty.
Again, sorry for the quick leave everyone I don't typically do
that stuff, but my mind and heart was just not in it last night,
have had a very rough week.

Didnt have a good qually, buggered it up by cutting a corner at
a crucial part of the track, qualified 5th behind macca.
Another good clean start to the race by everyone, was side by
side with macca untill turn 5 when i tried to give him room and
just touched macca on the turn and recieved a drive through for
my troubles, done the penalty on the first lap and then had to
crank it up to rich mixture to try and recover some ground and
positions from last place.
Got myself back to 4th then supanash went wizzing by and macca
caught me and from then on macca and i traded punches for the
rest of the race, we both did our last pit and it was on, every
lap we would take turns in the drs zone to overtake one an
other, there was nothing in it until the last lap and i was in
front of macca , we came up to the drs zone so i kept to the
inside, cranked the fuel up to rich and curs all the way down
the back straight, we were wheel to wheel but i outbraked him on
the inside and kept him at bay to take 4th position.
That would have to be the most intense race i have done and the
most enjoyable, well done macca that was a great race and good
sportsmanship, good on ya mate.
Driver of the day would have to be Livolay for the win, to much
pace on the day, well done mate.

Well my race wasn't too bad. Fifth is better than nothing I
guess... (sorry Castrol :P ). Qualified fourth and had a good
start and was battling cars all around me. I was pretty nervous
I was going to get punted off but full creadit to all of you it
was another nice clean first lap.
The first battle I had was with Beno with Nashy in behind
watching all the action, Beno and I went through a few turns
side by side which was great. But... my battle a little later on
with Gazza was increadible. Like Gaz says above we were
literally passing each other on every lap... talk about intense.
I thought I had it made being in second and with the DRS zone on
the final lap coming up I was quite relaxed and thought I could
pull it off. But Gazz was smarter than me and saved up all his
kers. We were side by side coming into the final few turns on
the last lap but Gazza nailed his breaking point on the inside
and took a well earnt fourth place. PHEW... boy did I enjoy
that!!!! Great racing Gazz, full respect to you buddy.
Oh Gazz also you tallied up my points wrong. I finished 5th so
should get 10 points and I was already on 27. So should I not be
on 37?

Q - 7th (I think!)
Thought I'd try qualifying on primes for a change and was hoping
I'd end up 4th or 5th. I put in a decent lap but it was only
good for 7th. I did think about going out on options to get up
the front of the grid but stuck with my original strategy in the
end.
R - 2nd
Despite being in 7th on the grid, I thought I had a good chance
for a win if I could stay in touch with the leaders until they
made their first pit stop. Spent most of the first 6 laps
watching Macca having a battle with Beno. Instead of getting
involved, I turned my fuel down and waited for them to pit.
Unfortunately, their battle must have been slowing them down a
lot, because by the time they pitted Livo was miles ahead! After
that I was pretty much on my own, and put in some good times
while trying not to kill my tyres. When I came out of my final
pitstop I was in 3rd, about 5 seconds behind gun. With the fresh
option tyres I was able to get up into 2nd but I had no hope of
catching Livo.
Well done to Livo on the win. Amazingly consistent pace
throughout the race.
Well done to everyone else as well for some very close but fair
racing. Went into the final chicane side-by-side with two other
cars at one point and we all came out the other side safely.
So, another 2nd for me. I wonder if I can win the league without
winning any races!

could happen, haha.
