Before the race I was trying several cars to find a balance for some good racing but with this tracks long long straights it was perhaps impossible to do
. I didn't feel like driving the Jag again because for me it's a twitchy thing that makes driving more work than fun. Gave the Ferrari a first try and loved it's handling traits. Wished I had tried it before as it might be my new favorite despite it's lack of top speed. Before the race I thought the race might be closer with the front guys as I was only off their time by 2-3 seconds. But in the race the others found a bit more speed while I was already at my max limit. And yes Tony!! That was a very well executed pass as it took me a bit by surprise
. I looked back before the corner(Masta) and thought "Tony will wait for the next straight for the pass". And then BINGO!! you stuck one on me like Ol' Nigel Mansell use to do so well
. It was well done as you drove in deep that didn't affect my entry at all but I thought you might have trouble on the exit because of your middle of the track corner entry, but that was not the case and on you went
. After that I saw Matt was closing down on me as well and I was a lame duck. Matt dispatched me quickly and was on my own for the rest of the race but that was OK as the Ferrari really is fun to drive and as always love this version of Spa
.
Sorry Kurt about your bad luck as I know the frustration of practicing a lot before this track and then having the rug pulled out from underneath oneself. I got over the wall on the backside of the track(Holowell) a couple of years ago and was unable to continue as I couldn't find a way back to the track
. Thanks to all the usual suspects for showing up
. Congrats to Ross for the victory and I really hope you continue in this wonderful series
