Congrats Iestyn and Axel! Very fun race!
That was a close one. Iestyn's too fast for me to be making errors in my setup. I noticed around lap 8 or 9 that I had way too much fuel. I did my fuel calculations on a piece of paper in practice and didn't read the number correctly. I saw a 2 as a 3 when I was multipying. What a dummy! 45 gallons of fuel to start, allowed Iestyn to cut .5-1.0 seconds from my lead while I was giving it close to 100%. Iestyn still gave me a chance when he got the tail too far out in the Ostkurve. I tried to get the front to turn in more so I could slip by on the inside but I couldn't quite make it. I recovered quickly but Iestyn recovered as well as I did. It didn't take him long to get by me again. I went a little wide in the Ostkurve on the final lap and that was the end of any chance to eek out a lucky win. So Iestyn was a lucky winner today. Good job! You kept the pressure on me the entire race. I made one lap at a good consistent pace but with Iestyn behind me, I drove every other lap about as fast as I could.
Last week I struggled with the Ostkurve. This week turn one gave me difficulties for the first several laps. I'm a little disappointed I didn't break 1:41.5 without a tow today. The Lola will do it.
Lots of fun doing my Jackie Stewart impersonation. It's been a while. I've been thinking I'm Graham Hill when I drive the 65 BRM so Jackie's been getting neglected since I haven't been driving the T260 or MS80 in a long time.
So who do I get to be next week? Jackie Ickx, Hubert Hahne, or Jochen Rindt? I'm kind of leaning towards Hahne. Keep the theme going of driving a white car. I might have to try that. A German track, with a German engine, in a car in one of Germany's racing colors, impersonated a German driver. That seems like a good way to finish this series at Hockenheim.
Thanks guys. I appreciate the fun.
Thank you Greg,now i want to understannd if with the new camera is possible to view a replay.
It should. I tested it with most of the mods and I couldn't get GPL to crash.
