Man this was great. My first real endurance here at Simracing, at my favo track.
Qually was good for me, took pole just before Rich.
The race...well, it started kinda dumb from my side. Eventhough I braked waaaaay early for T1 than I usually do, but I still went off slightly with huge understeer.
The first part was good chasing Mo. But I was more anticipating his moves on track (brake points etc) to prevent a crash, that I couldn't get a rythm and I missed some apex'. Like he said, he went wide at Tosa, so I could sneak on the inside. After that there was a NGT car on the outside. And because I was already on the inside, I was having an advantage in that situation. I was slowly incrasing the gap between Mo and me, but all of a sudden he was gone. So the gap became 13s between Rich and me.
That increased to 25s at some point, untill I spun after Variante Bassa. Putting my car in the right direction meant my rears were 140 degrees Celsius, si I had to slow down the lap afterwards. The car was horrible on the kerbs in that lap.
Rich was close at that point, so I had to push a bit harder again.
After 44 laps I did my stop, mainly because of the fuel, the tyres were still pretty good. Rich overtook me while standing in the pits and the first few laps afterwards he was increasing the gap. After my tyres we on temp again, I starting gaining on him. There was only 30 minutes to go, and he just didn't go in for the pitstop. So I was wondering if he could already done his in the very early part of the race.
Afterall it was an awesome race. Very, VERY fair behaviour of the NGT's being lapped, thumbs up for that
