I was a completely idiot last night, yesssssssssssssssssss!
Nice first laps trading positions with Navin. When the heavy tire wear began to work on the CSL, Navin pulled away maybe 0.1 - 0.2 seconds per lap. Never mind, I thought, all I need is a consistent driving and a fast pit stop (usually is in GTL) and I might finish in the podium, that was the goal anyway...
320 turns better, CSL has better intermediate and top speed.
My tire wear at lap 30 was FL-6, FR-42, RL-39, RR-41...yikes...
(I decided to change also the spare tire, because CSL has a mighty tire wear, or maybe my setups, or both?!)
So, I planned to went to my pit stop at lap 33, since lap 31, I was struggling with braking issues with rear tires blocking constantly. That's why I am so pissed, instead of braking 10 meters earlier than usual,
I continued to brake late, and on the very last hairpin I spun hitting the wall with the front bumper that fell down. Great! Just great you noob!
Well then, pit stop with full fuel and all tire change (even the spare one) with also the bumper replacement selected and wait...and wait....and wait.... and the lads passing on the S/F again and again and 130 seconds lost in pits and back on track in last position with 3 laps down for Goldtop lead.
I have tried to drive like mad to recover as much as I could, Pelle gave me 3 scare moments (and hits) while we were battling and later, Pelle with one lap down was fighting and scaring me again....
LOL
Anyway, after all it was fun. Next round is on the Nordschloooooooooooooooooooooooooooong boring rallye stage, which if I attend is just for a few points more.
Congrats Henry and podium, well done all.
Cheers
