Rami Kaukola, Roaring Pipes Maniacs - 1st

I was hoping for second sighting lap because I really got some tyrewear problem. After 30 minutes my rear was under 30%. I got a second formation lap, thank you whoever you are. First lap Marcin past me but the difference between us were almost zero. After some laps I was faster and we decided to change order but I did not get away. I think I had better luck whit backmarkers this time. I tried to run smoothly and avoid problems and pit as early as possible. Last pitstop went smooth and I got a 5 seconds lead on Marcin and 7,5 to Mikko. [...] I heard Mikko got backmarkers problem and lost seconds so we decided to go side by side for a photo finish. Big thanks to my super teammate Marcin for the setup and practice help. Also big thanks to Mikko. Without you it would have been a boring race! Super drive, Mikko.

Danny Asburry, Torrent Motorsports - DNF

At the start, I was pressurized and then passed by one of the Flatout cars - same thing happened to me at Le Mans. After that, I just took it easy on the tires and trailed a pack of four cars for most of the first stint. Then Borna radioed me and told me he was really struggling on his tires and that he HAD to come in. So he did so while I stayed out, because my tires felt fine. Well, soon enough, the whole field decided to pit and I was in 1st. I was stunned at this point because I realized everyone was on a 2-stop plan besides me. Got to the 50 minute mark and decided to pit after Rami passed me. Unfortunately, that's where it ended for me, in the pits. I had made a mistake while mapping the buttons on my wheel and forgot to designate a button for 'confirm pitstop'. So I tried mashing like a billion keys while I was in the pit, but nothing worked. So with not enough fuel and with really worn tires, I had to take a DNF. Very dissappointed, but I'm looking forward to next event since I'll have a lot of time to practice. Plus it's at Daytona and I want to win one for us Americans!

Hugo Hekkenberg, Flying Dutchman Racing - 4th

I was pretty nervous. First I had to pay attention to the formation lap but that went smooth this time. After the green flag the nerves changed into adrenaline and of we went. In front of me there was Miko and in the first laps I noticed that I can't hold his pace. The three 'aliens' in front of me where going faster and faster so I had to drive my but of to keep the gap as small as possible. On my tail, lets say 2 inches, there was Marco and he was definitely aiming for my 4th position. Marco and I had a great battle 'till the nasty sharp right hand turn made an end to our fight. I lost control and that cost me three places. At that point I activated my TURBO.EXE (located in my right foot). I was driving in a group of four and we had a great fight. Ludovic and Andreas were in front of me and Kevin was hanging on my tail. Andreas forced his car out of the track so that gave us a free spot. After some corners I managed to pass Ludovic and all I had to do now was to get rid of the chasers. But hey, I had my TURBO.EXE activated and that helped me a lot. I was driving in 4th now with some free air around me. Then it was time for my first pitstop, unfortunately one lap to late, so that cost me some time. Comming out of the pit I was 10th, just in front of Ludovic. After some nice battles I was 5th with Kevin on a safe distance (6 seconds or so). That gave me the free space again to re-activate the TURBO.EXE and there we go again. From P5 to P4 was easy because there was somebody trying to make a 1-stopper (I think). But hey, you don't hear me complaining. After some nice laps on my own it was time for my second pitstop. I don't know how Kevin did the trick but he was way in front of me when I left the pit. So the new goal was set. I had to close a huge gap to get my 4th back again. After a few laps I realized that it was an impossible mission and I decided to be happy with P5 and bring the car home in one piece. But sometimes you need a little luck, and that happened to me. Kevin had a freeze or something like that and suddenly he was right in front of me. Kevin and I had a great battle and on the first corner after the long straight I managed to pass, bringing the car home in 4th.

Michael Hart-Jones, AnE Racing - DNF

I sat back and watched everything unfold on both of the warm up laps. After finally getting going I found myself dropped to the back with Eckhart having a lovely time trading places. After that I ran slightly wide out of one of the numerous tight corners and found myself disorientated, and subsequently in the wall at the next blind corner. I tried to get back up to speed but was hounded by problems, when I touched one of the leaders I retired. My car was un-drivable and I was starting to feel I could become dangerous to those around me.

Eckhart von Glan, Blur Flag Racing - 16th

Huge pileup in that slow turn before heading out on straights, glad we did a second out lap, next time round there was a Flatout Club car facing my way just as I accelerated after green flag, swerved to avoid him. From there on it was a great fight with Michael for eight laps or so for P25, he nudged me off once and after that I think pitted and disappeared from my mirror. From then on it was a lonely but very enjoyable affair, my hards lasted well. Only made one small mistake which resulted in a stop 'n go. Pitted in the middle, second stint on hards, too. Once I was safe with Theo a lap up and Andreas a lap down behind I saw to my motor, never letting the revs go in the red. Brought it home four laps down in 16th, Theo in 15th. Finally a good Blue Flagger team result again.
