Sorry Mr. T. I did my races before thise thread even appeared, but haven't been bothered to send them in, but you have them now. :)

[Peter Vuko]

Didn't really enjoy this Rd - I was very rushed & I think I was slower than last time! Hopefully I have done enough to sew up the title.

No worries, mate :up:

[Brown, Jon Brow]

Vuko says that he wasn't as quick as the last meeting here :\ I felt that i had the same pace as last time so maybe I can get a good result. The car felt good in the wet race. :up:

[Brown, Jon Brow]

[tannat]

[Peter Vuko]

YES!!!! Another title. It has been a very good season for me. I doubt if I will win as many titles again but it feels good. Well done J.B on your Rd victory. That 2nd race was as close as it gets.

[Brown, Jon Brow]

Well done Vuko on your championship win, but winning the round is a good consilation :) Maybe if I hadn't missed the round at Donington it would have gone down to the final round. Hopefully I'll get revenge in the ClioCup! and new DTM season(if it's run) .

[tannat]

Yes-congrats to both Joh and Peter :up:

I'm really displeased with my Vauxhall performances. I could've remained in the Lexus and performed as well.

I'm thinking the Alfa is a superior drive, as I did really well in the past 2 TRD1 BTCCs with it, and all my best times have been set with it.

When I have time I'll hop back in the old Alfa and see if I can improve a bit...
