yeah shame you DISCO'd SBG :'(
Had a cracking race, taking the viper CC for the first time ever.
Was going to take the porker but got so fed up of jumping off the track for everyone in qually and could get no rhythm going. With a few mins to spare, i thought sod it, i'll drive something different and just enjoy it.
Used the default setup with a few minor tweaks and it all worked great.
Really enjoyed driving the Viper cc around here, it felt superb through most of the track and handled the kerbs far better than the GT3. Had a good early battle with a couple of porkers, particularly Peter Arnutt? in his, who kept me honest for quite a while.
I found it really frustrating losing loads of time to the lapping cars, i know i wasnt obliged to jump out the way but it kinda felt like i could be ruining any Masters GT1 battles and so generally either dropped right off the pace or even moved onto the grass to let them through
It saved DG's bacon, as everytime i closed up in the race, the blinking GT1's would come around and i'd drop back down another 3-5 seconds each time. A real shame as i was looking forward to closing on DG and having a titanic scrap until race end in his similar Viper.
Even when i closed at mid race to his bumper, he then dived into the pits for his stop...coward, hehe
The TS pit boys are obviously not on the sauce like the Legends mechanics as he emerged 14 seconds ahead of me after my stop a lap later...i blame Pops, he encourages liberal boozing in the garage
And then after getting the GT1 boys out the way (again) i got into 'the zone'
and set about chasing DG down once and for all, setting a series of 1:54/1:55 times to take about a second a lap out of him towards the end. I caught his ass for about the last lap or penultimate one? and we had a good fight around until the blasted chequered flag came down
An epic finish, shame it didnt happen earlier in the race. I was even more disheartened when he said he only had 1 lap worth of fuel onboard
...curse that Backo and his amazing pace
Great fun and great driving by all, everyone was most courteous, its very intimidating when a GT1 flys up behind you on track but nobody forced an issue
