Whoowhoo. Nice race.

Great fight with Marco in the first half of the race.

In the second half I had built up a large lead and decided to pit to get soft front tyres to try for fastest lap of the race. I made 2 major mistakes after trying too hard and nsfast caught rite up at the end.

I had an excellent race considering the low turnout. Thanks all that took part, well done podiums. I really enjoyed the track.

Another fantastic season of racing. Thanks to all drivers and organisers. Looking forward to next season. I really hope the turn out improves.

Congrats on the win TT, and so close to the title, well done!

I decided to give the race a go just 10 minutes before the practice session. I usually don't drive ill prepared because strange results can come of it. Yesterday's event was no exception. I started with the 911 Turbo, but found I had absolutely no setup for that. When the server was restarted I realized the 997 GT3 was on offer and I drove that at Brno before so I grabbed that. After adjusting gear ratios and fuel strategy I didn't have time for anything else. I only ran a couple laps on light fuel to get a decent time. I was more concerned with race pace so I finished the session on full tanks. Unfortunately, I never ran more than 3 laps while trying to dial in the springs and shocks. Had I done so, I would have realized the rear tires were 2 lbs too low in tire pressure. My left rear was orange/red from lap 4 to end of 1st stint. Couple that with incorrect diff and toe settings and my car was crazy loose on corner entry. The trail braking needed here was the difference from Brno. I was able to gain on TT, but couldn't hold onto it. I looped the car 4 times in 1 corner; very uncharacteristic for me. Still, it was an enjoyable race. I probably should do more like this (not preparing) so I can better learn how to deal with an ill handling car in race conditions. This will better prepare me for real racing.

I'll join as many races I can next season Legzy. It is a bit of a tough time schedule for me in the summer months (3:00 PM). I'll sneak in a race when I'm not working on my house or at the track.
