A bit of a damp evening in my part of England, so I thought I would pop in & have a bit of fun with you guys. However things didn't quite go to plan
. Downloaded & installed the cars & track OK & did a few practice laps offline to get some sort of setup. But as I hadn't raced GTL here for sometime, when I went to join the server, I couldn't, had the wrong lobby file! By the time I got it all sorted qually had started.
Started 3rd & as Erling said bogged down off the line, far too few revs, & held up Clive behind, sorry Clive. 5th at the end of lap 1 became 3rd as MaiPor & Jose went off at T1 & I was chasing Bob & Erling for a couple of laps until losing it under braking for T3 & collecting Erling, apologies Erling. MaiPor went by as we sorted ourselves out & I got 3rd back a lap later when Erling messed up T3 all by himself.
Managed to reel in the two leaders & took Bob for 2nd around half distance. Chased MaiPor & got quite close a couple of times only to nearly spin at the LHer under the bridge with 3 laps left. Gap was now up to 4.5s so any chance of the win was now gone, so I thought. Then 3 corners from home MaiPor spun off & I sailed past into the lead
, only to inexplicably change into top far too early up the hill to the finish & lose drive & the win
.
Congrats to Marc, very well driven, & to Erling in 3rd.
Very enjoyable race, I will have to drop in more often. Cheers guys, see you again soon.
