i hadnt driven the GT40 for probably two months so the simracing league seemed a good place to take the beast for a spin - no pun intended
Quali went OK...typical understeer & traction issues you would expected from the GT40, so i was near the back by the end of quail.
As for the race – did I have the best start of all? blasted up to 10th (could of pushed the to get in to 8th...but risk/reward made me back-off).
Car felt relatively OK for the opening laps, very easy to understeer slightly wide...them 911/Escort’s would try and slip down the inside - I was therefore forced to open the throttle too much just to keep my position only to run wide on the very next corner > all them left-right-left-right-left combos drove me nuts! The straights bits where pretty good for me.
Had a bump form oily? - which spun be back to 15th'ish.
After that, i settled in - probably lapping 1:54/55's keeping the driving low risk - therefore with no big mistakes...
By the final lap managed to power my way to 12th...
but got taken on the very last corner by Will in he's green 911
so busy dealing GT40 handling issues I didn’t even know it was the final lap.
Good points for me - no mistakes, only GT40 running, didnt finish last.
Bad points - way off pace, that final corner 12th>13th!
Grats to the top three – wow a 911 didn’t win, even an Escort in 2nd!
