The resultant wait for him seem to throw everyone out but resulted in ending up at the back and having to fight through everyone.
Been a while since I drove this track, forgot how much I enjoy it, though felt easier in GTR2!

I didn't expect you to wait but am glad you recovered to the podium.
After that it was a similar race to Shanghai, the BMW had a slight edge in pace providing I didn't overheat the tyres but ultimately the accidental double downshift struck again causing a half spin. Geoff seemed to have early dramas as well but had good pace and was able to take advantage for the win. Well done Geoff and Mark. Title: Re: RRE Season 7 (2020) RRE GT4 - Dubai - Nov 29 Post by: spanner on November 30, 2020, 03:32:15 PM +0000 I do find the gears badly spaced in the BMW and the downshift prevention meant some corners I could only get into second on the apex.
Title: Re: RRE Season 7 (2020) RRE GT4 - Dubai - Nov 29 Post by: Geoffers on November 30, 2020, 06:01:55 PM +0000 Curious race. :)
Qually did not go well, spun on my first lap then got invalid laps on the other 3 so had to start at the back. Lap 1, got a good run at the start & passed Bill & Stephen then at the hairpin there appeared to be some kerfuffle & I was in the lead, but everyone appeared to have slowed down. Not wanting to take advantage I slowed too & let everyone back through. A lap or so later I had made it back up to 3rd behind Glenn & Frex, another couple of laps & I inherited 2nd when Frex had a spin. Tried hard but Glenn was gradually increasing his lead & with about 4 laps to go I admitted defeat & eased the pace to avoid any late mistakes. Really surprised on the penultimate lap to find Glenn having had a spin & I was in the lead again. Just had to keep it tidy over the last lap & a half. Bad luck to Frex & Glenn :(, however congrats to Glenn and Mark on the podium. :clap: :clap: |
