After a long tiring race, I actually find myself laughing..
Started off Paddi had a bad qually and we started P19 iirc.. Marek had a great double stint and we were lying 6th afaik. I then took over and towards the end of my stint I had two laps left on my set/fuel and I seen FXR on it's roof in sector 1, so I took the risk and pitted on that lap. Paddi took over and it didnt pay off as he was at the back of the field and was getting hit up the **** by people under SC.
To top it off Paddi then times out and I join in a huge hurry. I taught to myself 30 mins left and we had 85% fuel per hour so I put approx 40% fuel in and joined as qucikly as possible. Almost immediatley I noticed I had taken our qually set (R2/R2) and I found myself with tyres on the verge of blowing up. Joe Holmes was my spotter in teamspeak and he was letting me know gaps when I said to him I really need a SC.
After extremley bad luck with the time out, I found my luck turning and got a SC period which lastest about 2 laps of slow driving for me and as you would imagine I was doing everything to cool down the R2's including driving on the grass!
After timing out from 10th place, joining again on a quallifying setup and lasting 23 laps of R2 / R2 I find myself somewhat proud of my team for taking a provisional 11th place.

*Added Marek Nasuciñski into lineup. Sorry exspeed is currently away from lfs so cant update his op atm.
With the IGTC test race commencing tomorrow, Ministry of Speed have again strengthened their roster. Marek Nasuciñski the highly talented Polish driver has joined Ministry of Speed. Marek is 15 years old and has been in two previous teams Drivers From Hell and Advanced Drivers , two very recognisable teams in Live for Speed. Marek moved from racing into drifting approximately one year ago to boost his car controlling abilities and has since returned to racing. Marek is a highly talented driver in all cars and we are sure he will be a huge asset to our team in many ways. He wil have impact into the team immediatley with him driving alongside Patrick Schülter and Andy O'Brien in the IGTC race tomorrow. Commenting on Marek's arrival James Peace said "He is an extremley talented driver and as soon as we seen him we knew he was a talent. He jumped into the FZR at BL1 for IGTC and was immediatley on the pace which impressed us highly. He is a very nice guy and I look forward to working with him in the future".
So we would like to give our warmest welcome, to Marek Nasuciñski.
Even though the long wait at the start, it was well worth it. Had some fantastic racing especially in race one with Niall McEvoy, was great fun and delighted with my win in race one with fastest lap and second in race two. Looking forward to next race. Well done guys!
Quite pathetic, one driver error which he later told that he went for the exit button and didn't get it quick enough and as he is a mouse driver the car lost control. I fully believe him because he isn't that kind of driver and it's an appalling decision in my opinion.
I think even though there is 6 entries there will be more as I know Keith Dempsey was very interested in the return of the league and himself and Eoin Murray were trying to get Richie Faulkner and Niki Meredith back in. So there could be more to come. But Niall is right, there is so many leagues like that, which would just be a waste. All Irish is the way to go imo, and Niall McEvoy doesn't want it multi national either afaik.
