*cough*
Surely a bunch of nice people here, because I was definitely expecting someone to mention a 'bastard of a 575 driver', lol! Whom, you guessed it
, would have been me!
Just got home a couple of hours before the race, noticed Enna was on tonight and thought, nice, I like that track, let's give it a go in something else than the Bi-T! I was wrong!
Used the default fast setup for a 1:38:xx then changed loads and managed a 1:36:xx, which I was happy with because I wasn't going for a win, just a nice 60 minute drive in the midfield in a different car... Or so I thought. Changed setup to a 1 stop and tyres to med/hard. Practiced a couple of laps at the end of qualifying and warm-up and it felt good. Again I was wrong
.
Spun coming out the corners after the 1st fast chicane, rammed into the wall and with that had lost my orientation a bit. Felt I was in the way and started moving to get the hell out of there... Mistake #3, I was actually driving it straight onto the driving line and well, we all know that point of no return... lol
Where you can hear the other cars engine sounds and know you're not going to make it, hehe! Didn't see who I hit or who I was getting into trouble, but I'm sorry guys (must have been more than one!?
). Pitstop took 3 minutes or so which gave me time to do some laundry and dishes
. Back on the track the car just wasn't the same. 26 Minutes or so into the race I spun again out of the same corner
. The 575 I guess just doesn't have the traction of the Bi-T
. I think I hit someone again this time and was really feeling quite bad about it by now, limped back to the pit, another 2-3 minutes for doing laundry
and told myself that as a punishment I had to finish the race!
Which I did in 15th spot. So even without the inevitable penalties I didn't score any points! Phew
Just about the only good thing for me in this race!
Oops, nope not true... JonM won AGAIN! Woohoo! Way to go m8!
