it was a very demanding race for me and i knew that it will be before. since i was only 1 second faster in my lmp2 car (the HPD ARX 01 isn't the fastest anyway - but i wanted to drive it in this race) than the fastest gt-drivers - among them my fellow team-mate the 'flying fin' well - at least i was faster

i had as always a very slow start and half of the gt-field passed me. so i had the pleasure to pass one by one in the next laps. i had to be very concentrated doing so, since on the straits the gt cars were faster accelerating but on breaking i could catch them and it was incredibly easy to make the pass in the curvy sections. i must repeat what brontal77 said: the gt-drivers should stay on their line otherwise hairy situations can occur.

at the end of the race i had lapped every gt-car at least two times - even the ultrafast Lister Storm with fin at the wheel. that was more than i was hoping for so i am very happy with the result and looking forward to the next race of this wonderful WEC series.
