that was a great race, action all the way from lights to flag
Qualied 4th, just not quite matching my better laptime pace but pleased all the same lined up behind teamie TT.
Enjoyed a great race early on staying with the front 3 for about 15 minutes, then getting upto 3rd for a while when Busi ran wide. But he pressured me quite a bit and just as i was starting to eek a couple of tenths out, i got out of shape at the Parabolica Interior, allowing Busi and API past me. :'( Then to add insult to injury a charging Lazlow took me at the end of the s/f straight with some very late braking
relegating me to 6th
I then spent about 10-15 mins chasing him and API in their Z4s without making much difference until their fighting allowed me to close.
Eventually i closed on API and put him under severe pressure for lap after lap.
It seemed like i was quicker than him all around the circuit except in the final sector from that bugger of an uphill chicane (a porsches nightmare at this track), through that final wide sweeper onto the s/f straight, i just couldnt get near him there and the z4 left me for dead down the straight. But i was able to brake much later than him and closed every lap until the sequence was repeated over and over
Finally API put a foot wrong in turn 3 and i was able to sneak up the inside and use the porkers exit traction to get my nose in front and there it stayed until the flag despite some more counter-attacking from his beemer. It had been a fantastic race fight, really good fun and i was very chuffed to get my place back for 4th after such a long battle.
I closed right up on the squabbling TT and Evert with only a few laps remaining, but again, just could not live with them in the final sector, the Porsche really struggling for grip through there compared to the z4 and Fezza
Was very pleased with 4th place and 4th fastest race lap and a good result for the legends with cars in 3rd,4th and 7th?
Congrats to Lazlow (storming drive), Evert and TT for the podium.
ps, i edited the .aud files for the z4 and Vertigo and had no problems tonight with excessive engine sounds from them. A simple fix for anyone still suffering.
