Had a bit of a mixed race in terms of full-fillment/enjoyment.
I seem to be stuck in the lower reaches of top 10 for most GT1 races this season and just cannot match the pace of the top 6. Its my first season with the Lambo and i dont seem to have gelled with it like i did the Maserati last season.
It sounds bloody awesome with the sounds i use for it and makes it an aural treat to drive.
I was quite happy with 8th in qually for most of the session, then as always happens, i got pipped at the end and fell two spots to 10th.
Race was going well glued to a very fast moving train upto lap 4 when there was some kind of altercation up front in sector 3. I got through cleanly (or so i thought) by staying wide around the melee but Pseud must have been taking avoiding action from what was happening on the inside line and came across spinning us both off into the gravel :'(
This left us about 7 seconds behind the pack and i had to drive like a loon to close up on Jan Dujis. When i caught him we had a fantastic 10 minute or so battle with me pressurising him all over the track but his F550 had enough grunt to pull away from me on the two straights every single lap ! It was a superb battle but ultimately frustrating as i was losing about 2 seconds a lap to the front pack.
Jan drove a great clean defensive drive despite me climbing all over him in almost every corner
Eventually he cracked under the pressure, running wide in sector 3 and i leapt through the opening and steamed off up the track, pulling out an instant several second gap in the next two laps.
Unfortunately i was now about 15 seconds behind TT with about 10 mins remaining and he kept that gap constant until the end, finishing 8th.
Congrats to the pody guys!
