I was a bit surprised here, but I think it's only because I didn't check the hotlaps!

I was very slow, hardly managed to do a 2:00.3, and I was VERY happy with that as my pb was over 2:02 before! Still it was only enough for 7th-8th (don't remember). So race1 started, got the start right, had some fights, once there was a little contact from Willi, but np, it was only a slight touch and that happens sometimes! I was fighting then with Gaynall and Tim, then spun. Saw Willi going to the pits and first I didn't know why, but as soon as I got my second cut warning in next lap I knew

Then I got black flagged in last lap, running 7th I thought I'll finish 9th after I do that but I finished 5! Didn't expect that!
Second race was a bit better, started slow, many people came by me! I saw a little chaos in t1, hardly managed to avoid spinning people there, still left the track a bit at the end. A was fighting with Warren then, in some lap Adam came, he was very agressive, tried to pass me at the back straight, but I was on the wider line there so I had a good position! Turned wide to make sure he has room, but still we touched, I almost went off the track there. Then not long after that he disappeared from my mirrors, don't know what happened to him! In the next lap I think I passed Warren after Villeneuve chicane. I was going well until Abdul arrived, he passed me at the back straight, tried to stay next to him but I overshot the braking zone and gone off. Joined back behind Willi and Warren, tried to pass Warren again in Villeneuve but this time he managed to keep it! Next lap I was very close to him there, and I think I forgot the "lower grip" effect when being very close behind someone, and before the 2nd part of the chicane I lost traction, and spun into Warren's car. Sorry for that again! Fortunately we didn't lose much time, so we stayed 5th-6th, and that was the finishing order

Finished 5th overall with 7 points. Grats for the winners Abdul and Gary!
Thx for the race Willi!

No problem. But I didn't drive into you, I saw you, and I was going straight to catch the slipstream of Warren there! Maybe that was only the thing that we were very close and had slightly different lines!

That was just as I expected, quite a challenge for me trying to drive the E46, but a lot of fun. I knew I would lose ground on the FWD cars under brakes and into turns, but I was a bit surprised at how all the FWD cars were so much faster in the straights.
Sorry to all the guys I held up at times, but I had my hands full just keeping the Beemer under control, I was trying my best to give you room.

Qualified down near the back as expected, but did manage a PB (for the BMW) of 2.02.1.

Race 1. Didn't quite get the expected BMW start, so just tried to keep clean. Gained a few spots early thanks to so many cars going off, or having "incidents". Ended up having a funny race for several laps with Vedran, who passed me twice, but kept going off track allowing me past again. I had a few "whoops" moments myself as the tail let go, but fluked a final p4 for the race, thanks to others misfortunes or S'n'G penalties. (Imola always catches a few

).

Race 2. This time I managed the lightning BMW start and could have launched into the lead, but I got boxed in behind Tim. Got baulked by the mess at the first chicane, but at least avoided the spinning cars. After that I had the "joy" of holding up about 4 cars behind me, all darting around me looking to pass, while I was praying just to stay on the track. Abdul, Peter, and Willi finally found their way around my mobile chicane, but Peter had an off later and let me through again. Great racing with Peter, who was faster but was showing patience to find a clean pass, until he got sideways into the chicane and took me off track with him. This gave me a thrill as I then headed sideways towards the wall, but somehow managed to get enough power down to narrowly miss it. No problem Peter, just bad luck for you.
Finally finished P5.

Overall P4 for the event, but only due to so many others problems.
Thanks to all who raced.

Gary Lennon · Feb 4, 2009

I never arrive at Imola confident really,so stunned on front row start and get a super launch clean past Abdul for the lead in to T1 and all smooth and well with Sandis chasing in 2nd,alls going well until a whump up my backend sending me spinning into oblivion with damage,somehow the race ended Abdul winning and me 2nd...(baffled)

.
Race2 i get another fantastic getaway up to 3rd by T1 and get ready to settle in there behind a Honda and Seat,suddenly all i see is the Seat checking up really slow but i see room to just squeeze past both struggling cars there and its a very early gift of the lead,its now just concentration to keep consistent and drive it home.
Thanks for having me so late Willi m8,some good fun,Thanks to RD :good:.
