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.

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:

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) .

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...
