Congrats to SteveB for the win. He was really flying tonight.

Despite edging before him in qualification and improving my PB during the race, I couldn't even start closing the gap to SteveB so it's really a well-deserved win.

My race was relatively boring after I overshot T1 at the start, except for passing Steve in lap 1 and later catching Juan after he made a mistake near the hotel. Other than that, it was mostly fighting brain fade (thank God for the 50% race!). I spun in the last turn on the last lap and made most of the start/finish straight by going backwards. That's a nice finish for this season!

Thanks to everyone for participating in this race and for this season. Now it's time to RoC! 8)

Thank you Bilbo. :)

Comming into this race I didn't feel prepared at all, I only did 3 nights of testing (ty to Bilbo for the setup).

My qualy session started out slow I was so bloody nervous. I managed to calm down....LOL
I had pole for a few laps till Bilbo edged me out by 0.015 of a second WELL DONE!!

Race start was great, Bilbo and I had a drag race to T1, I saw he braked too late and I backed off and started to move
to my left and didn't see Carrera comming and we touched, but he got by with no damage (sorry Carrera).

I was able to stay with Carrera and tried to keep the pressure on hoping he would make a mistake and he did on lap 1 exiting the left corner just past
the hotel.Carrera spun and hit the wall :(

Now the pressure was on me with Juan behind me and I couldn't shake him off, I was only able to open up a 2 second gap until Juan made a mistake
at the same place Carrera did (I think). I felt a great release from the pressure and stayed focused and started to open up the gap.
I knew that Bilbo and Juan pit at the same time and I was on my in lap so I tried to make the best of it so I would come out ahead of them.
I exited the pits keeping my position now just had to bring it home.

A few corners before I started the last lap I only had 4L left in the car and I was deciding to pit or continue and had slight brain freeze and touched the wall
exiting the last turn and had to really short shift to make sure I didn't run out of fuel.

Not the best way to win (50%race) but I will take it. :) it was a nice way to finish off what was a very frustrating season for me.

Congrats to Bilbo for 2nd.

I want to thank all who participated tonight and throughout the 2009 season it was a BLAST!!! :) :)

CU at the ROC!!
FORZA FERRARI !!

Congrats steve B.
Thanx to all for keeping the grids big all season.
It was indeed a blast having that much competition all year.
My race this time was brand new as in I hadn't even turned a lap on abu dhabi before the race.
A rather quick learning curve and went from 2:01 to 1:40 by qualifying.whew.
Race start was good .Saw Steve B check up a bit because of Bilbo and slipped in past Steve B.
1st place but short lived as I got greedy (yet again) and power slid myself into the wall.hard to drive with no front wheels.
Was just settling into a rhythm too but thats show biz...LOL....
Congrats sto steveb for the win and congrats to the Mclaren boys for doing so good this year.
Now here we go roc in and rollin.
carrera 8) 8) 8)
