This is what I did on the Easter weekend (FOSC 2009) .

Friday was a slow day. In the morning I went out on a familiarisation session, to try and remember the lines. Then at 2pm I had qualifying which was cut short from 30min to 18mins - the best I managed was 2.50 on the last lap. I think another 10 minutes I would managed my last years time.

Saturday was showers all day. The first session at 9.15am was dry till we got into pit lane, then it started to rain, I was on the hard R888s, I couldn't get any heat into them . I did Sh*t times. I even had a touch of the wall in the Esses, only because the car in front decided to brake hard in front of me which forced me to brake which made me loose traction. The whole day's schedule was stuffed as the rain came and went and as cars were slipping off and smashing into walls. These made my little scrape on the Esses look like nothing, I could still drive my car. Fortunately no one was hurt. The next session was at 4.30pm, again it was showering, but this time I had on the wets, my DO3s super soft. It was like driving a different car, I was passing people left, right and centre. I was out braking people, taking them offline, it was so much fun. I had the 4th fastest time.

Sunday was alot of sitting around, there was no rain in the morning but they had to make up races from the day before. I didn't go out till 1.30pm. Then as I am sitting in pit lane it starts to pour down (I had the wrong tyres on again), I did one lap then they Red Flagged the race, so I came back into the pits to change the tyres. At 3pm we were called up again, I was started placed in 17th position (don't know why). It was still raining. It eased off as I was on the warm up lap. As soon as the Green Flag was shown I floored it. The car just went, the tyres stuck like glue. In the first lap I gain 4 places. And I kept reeling them in, the only car I couldn't get was the Nissan Skyline (bloody 4wd). I had the 2nd fastest time and ended up 2nd in the race (I know I wasn't racing but I'll still take what I can). It was just brilliant!

There is a youtube of the last session at : CLick here for Youtube

Due to the rain the maximum speed was only 245km per hour and I averaged 148km.
