I'll be relieved if it turns out that my C1s aren't totally exhausted, and the guide still turns from side to side like it oughta ...

Here's hoping Wet's car found some lost speed.

At Mini Grid I had this as 1 of the top 2 cars in practice, but it seems to have gotten slower and slower since. Perhaps a hair caught somewhere? His car should be much faster, and I found it does like to be pushed.

Thanks for the good run. The heat in you garage probably helped the F30s.
Congratulations to all.

Thanks for the run! My best finish in the Shootout so far.
It seems though, that I did follow the path Alonso did in Silverstone last weekend...

Edit: No, forgot I had the same result in the previous race, 6th overall, 2nd GrC.

G'Day Neil,

Wonderful coverage, as always - thanks for running the round so well, under slightly 'testing' conditions...

Congrats to the various podiumites!

Wow - pretty close mid-pack.... 5' between 10th & 14th....

And I'm sorry Moniquspot, but that photo and caption gave me quite a chuckle....

Hmmm - another GrpC win to the Tasmanian - he'll be getting used to this soon..... (well done...)

Cheers, Tony.

Wow, Autorama's performances are wild... 4 near the back of the pack and now two near the front including this win. Congrats!

Any chance of letting us know which cars ran on which nights and what the ambient conditions were like for each session?

Thanks for running the round.

Thanks for the great run. Like others, this was my best finish to date and where I had hoped to be in this series honestly.
