Hi Ben, In Rf Config Try changing your DX settings to Auto, also make sure your install is not in program files in your 'C' drive. Hope this helps

Great race, just missed my first GT win by 3 secs... So behind Chris E and Dan third, all fine. Just lost 30 secs because Mr Lewis was blocking my Pit Box
Re: Blancpain WEC Round 4 - Donington GP (18th July)
It was a really good race! I managed to get a great start and into the lead by the first corner and managed to pull away. I pushing as hard as I could for the whole race. As soon as it got dark my tyre temperatures dropped, it became very difficult to keep the car on track at times, My final pit stop was 2 laps too short on fuel to the end so came in 2 laps later to splash and dash. Unfortunately 2 pit stops in 3 laps massively cooled my tyres and I had no grip and spun twice. That put Dan right behind me for the last 10 minutes of the race. Luckily the Mclaren has great traction out of corners which just kept me in front of Dan's Nissan which had 2-3mph more in a straight line.
Fortunately the fighting with Dan meant I was working my tyres harder and they came up to temperature for the last lap so I was able to hold on for my first endurance win!
I think the top 3 had 3 completely different pit strategies, Mike could get 1 more lap of fuel out of his car on every stint (I think he managed 1 less pit stop at the end), Dan made a really early stop and was out of sequence until the last stint to the end and I went flat out, no fuel saving and 5 pit stops.

Yup, had only 4 pitstops, well calculated, 6.4 remain on the finish line If Mr Lewis hadnt blocked my Pitstop I think I had won this one. But thats how it gonna be sometimes

And of course if Mr Pitschmann hadn't blocked my first stop I may have stayed on the lead lap! I even pitted one lap early to avoid further pit holdups but that ruined my strategy costing me an extra stop and fourth place
