What a fantastic race that was, and I was glad to see Marco finally win another race. However I was gutted for Power who had the worst race possible

It was prety good, the race between Marco and TK towards the end  and well done to Marco he certinly had the car to do it.

I noticed that once Dario got into traffic the car wouldn't handle again, so i wonder if they will keep setting him up to run at the front or will they change tack?

Was a shame for Will and he made it prety clear in his statement at the Med centre that once again his pit stops had let him down.... Ryan was having a great race until bloody JR stuffed it up and nealy caused another accident...That bloke needs to carm down a bit and race with his head not his blind ambition.

Oh well back to the Road now so hopefully he can get back up there..
