I have very little experience of Paul Ricard and the few laps I have had previously have not been enjoyable. However, the Ginetta seems to go really well around the the track and I had great fun tonight learning the layout and trying to find the quickest way through the tricky corners.

Roll on Sunday.

Totally agree Johnny, I think it's really underrated - possibly 'cos of 'character', but imo it's quite technical... getting exits right to utilise the long straights, reducing radius corners etc.

My least favourite type of track for those reasons, however I seem to have got over that and found some pace. I'm actually enjoying it now.

Congratz Jhonny nice pace

even when i was in p2 i was losing so well done . Now for the bad part ,every overtake i was extremely careful with atleast 1 car lenght with just some exception against Hank and Wenston cause they were too fast , i dont know why but only on this site i have this problem, just before this race i had an f3 race on WSS no lag and ping was normal (i have to say seeing the entire grid lagging is not a pleasure and i dont want to ruin someone race with some weird netcode) Edit: checking the result right now on the emperor page and atleast a 60% has a peak of 1000 ping and higher

It was fun again today. Most of the time I drove alone. Johnny in a different league, congratulations, and Fulvio drove past me at some point, congratulations too. A year-long championship like this is great. I'm already looking forward to next year. And let's see how it goes with AC evo and the integration into the calendar. I'm really excited to see what will be served to us there.

Thanks for the great organization Brian!

Interslice · Sunday at 22:20

Great racing all season guys! Somevery enjoyable battles in the mid-pack!
Congrats to Fulvio for the outright championship win. Awesome pace!!

Hi Fulvio. Congrats again!

I'll setup a PM with the IT guys here. They should be able to sort you out.

johnny85ac · Sunday at 22:27

Thank you very much guys, I appreciate that. @eN1xes Fulvio it's a shame you had those issues today!
I really had a very clean and consistent race tonight, no issues and my quickest laps have been kind of the same as PB/quali. And much closer to Fulvios as usually. Altough it was a lone race I had to focus hard and keep my concentration up as I aimed for a good last championship round. Actually my goal was P2 but a victory with you, Fulvio, in the grid really means something to me

Douglas Aird · Sunday at 22:58

Thanks @Interslice for organising a great championship, I really enjoyed the racing and only missed a couple of rounds due to holidays.

Tonight's race was one of my best on RD, especially given the level of opposition.

P4 qualifying, P5 in the race (as Fulvio did his usual).

I got a great start and into p3, managed to keep pace with Hank until he started to stretch away (sorry about the tap in T1 on lap 2-3, I didn't quite brake early enough).

Fulvio eventually caught and passed me, the brief fight cost me a couple of seconds and Weston started to gain. He was on my bumper when I decided to pit. After that I had some quiet laps until the pitstops unwound and Ernie came out 3 seconds behind me.

Last 20 minutes the gap between us went up and down between 1 and 2.5 seconds but I held it to the end. I wish I had known that he had a 10 second penalty as it would have been far less stressful!

Thanks to everyone who took part in the championship and I am looking forward to more races.

@eN1xes Fulvio congrats for this outstanding performance in this championship! Almost every race last to first and fastest lap in each one. That’s amazing! Thanks to everyone for making this races happen!
