My website has been having techinical difficulties over the past couple weeks but we are getting it all sorted out and it seems to be fully functional again now.

I missed writing about my last race in Potugal last week so I'll give you a quick run down of the events that happened.

Marco Holzer, my team mate qualified the car in Portugal as it was his turn to do so. He did a great job and put the car in P2. However, one of his lap times were taken away after running wide on the last turn, so he started the race from P3.

Marco drove a strong stint in the first 50 minutes of the race and was in P4 when he came into the pits. We had a phenomenal pit stop overtaking 2 cars in the process.

I drove out of the pit lane in 2nd position and soon caught the leading Brixia Porsche and overtook him taking the lead of the race.

Our lead did not last long however, as after another 10 minutes our engine failed forcing us to pull into the pits. It was a real shame as we had a genuine shot at winning the race!

I'll have to put all that behind me this weekend as I am now in Singapore for the Porsche Carrera Cup. We are a support race for the Formula 1 Singapore GP.

The track has changed a little bit but not in drastic fashion. A few corners have been tightened and some widened to change the characteristics slightly. Some parts of the circuit have also been resurfaced which will make it a bit smoother.

Last year I was able to win here, so I'll be looking to do the sam eagain this weekend. I missed out on pole position last year by 1 tenth of a second so I'm going to try and grab pole on Saturdays qualiyfing session.

Today's free practice will be at night under the lights of Singapore so that will be very interesting. Our race however will not be at night but in the late afternoon.

Come back here to see how the free practice goes tonite..more updates to come...

Ciao!
