211  UKGTR / UKGTR Races / Re: UKGTR Season 12 Upper Endurance (GT1/GT2) - Monza (GP 2000-present) - Feb 28 on: February 28, 2010, 10:58:12 AM +0000

I have raced Monza in the rain before and it is very tricky. It required a lot of practice...

Seems like if i am reading the weather properly we have a good chance of at least some rain for tonights race? If thats the case then the results table will be nicely shaken up because like you said avoiding cut track penalties with constantly changing conditions is going to be really tough. But hey, i'm up for the challenge!  Grin

i hope i understand this correct, i think it is no chance of rain, in first letter i do read: wheather: DRY
i hope this is correct? i had only done only a few laps and all of them in dry and i got many many cutwarnings Huh
if there is rain, i will be totaly slow, no time for practise in rain (and no motivation too Grin), i have a 2nd race tonight in R2P and i had done no practise for this race too.
if i can do constant 1.42.high/1.43 racelaps without getting a stop/go penalty, then i will be more then happy Smiley  (but i think i will be more then 1xtime in my pitbox tonight :'()

Q.2....R.2

i get no good lap in quali, i always make mistakes, think the car is difficulty to drive with low fuel, more then 1 sec. behind me PB i was, not good.

start was ok and i did save my 2nd place, after any laps jayblue was perhaps 2 sec. in front, but then he did spin and i was in lead, i did quick get the lead bigger and any laps later i was 10 sec. in front of truetom and 12 in front of jayblue. In this time i was nearly sure i can win this race, because car was very stabile and my speed was good too with little fuelsave for not do fuel take in pitstop.
but then i did overtake a lapping car, then come little straight and in end of straight he hit me from behind in doing brake and i come in sand (gravel) and car nearly not come out of sand and i loose 25/26 sec., then i was 6th i think and 14 sec. behind the leader(s), not happy i was.
i was happy that jayblue was behind the leader and i come closer again, i was 10 sec. behind leaders and 4th place, but then i was behind spanner and i loose time behind him, i am not a great overtaker and his car did sometimes lag? (standing short and then jump perhaps 20-50m in front again) not often this happens but i always get nearly a hard attacke if his car was suddentyl in front of me.
so i did change strategy, i did a earlier pitstop for not loose time and perhaps after pitstop i can do any quick laps and overtake any cars in pit.
after the other drivers did pit, i was 3rd, around 5 sec. behind jayblue, but i was not able to catch him, think we was in nearly same speed. But when the stint get longer and longer it seems that he was little faster, perhaps i had more bad tyres because my early pitstop, in end of stint my car was very hard to drive, more hard then in end of 1st stint, so i am nearly sure that this car do not like low fuel.
i did end my race with 11 sec. behind jayblue in 2nd place. i did a good race and i had a good race speed too.
the lapping cars did again a great job, it helped me a lot if the GT3 cars did flash the lights, always save overtakes then possible.  congrats to class winners and podiums!

which one is now GT1 winner? i do not know the rules if it is a draw? both?
gazzer and jayblue have both 72 points?

i see that i am 6th in championship with 47points and we did win team title in GT1.

Q.1...R.2

quali was ok.

i did a great race tonight, one of my best ever, i am happy with my speed, dubai is great track!
it looks like jayblue and me had same speed tonight in the race and perhaps i did loose it if the first much GTC cars to do lapping, is was suddently 5 sec. i think behind.
if we come to pistop i was perhaps 3-4 sec. behind and if we come out of pitbox i was 6.5-7 sec. behind, i did loose little time in pits because i was very close behind a GTC car in doing pitbox and i did not know when he will brake for speed limit and it did looks like he had same pit then me, but lucky for me he was 1 box in front, puh puh puh.
2nd stint was same as first, nearly same fast, sometimes i come little closer, sometime i loose a little, in one point of the race i had feeling i could perhaps can close the gap, but jayblue was to much constant and the more dark night was not easy for me, with the lights i was little confused.

congrats jayblue for win and strong race
congrats to 3rd simon and
congrats to GTC winner sponsored by ginster (no idea what this is??) and the GTC podium

good 4 races this was, see you next season

hello,
i did my first practise laps, my laptimes was ok to good.
i do like this track much, one of my favourite tracks.
i was between 0.2 seconds with lister, 575 and aston, looks like very equal cars this are.

hello,

i did watch the weather forecast and it says for sunday...BEDECKT (german), perhaps CLOUDY in english, can it be rain if there a forecast like this, or can it only be a possibility of rain in the race, if in forecast i do read something like this.....20%, 30% or 405 chance of rain (snow) comes, where the 20% (and the other %) is in green letters.
if it only can rain if a number of percent in green i do read, then this race will be dry (hurra)
i hope someone do understand my question, hard for me to explain always what i will tell.
not sure if i can do drive tonight, no laps practise actual, but i know track and track is very very easy to remember again.

Q.3...R.1

my start was ok and i was 2nd behind gazzer49 and in front of simon. We 3 driver had exactly same speed and always in doing lapping GTC cars the gap do change always a little.
in the pistop time we 3 drivers was very close and after gazzer and simon did her pitstop and in the lap i did my i saw i had 67 sec. lead of simon.
i did pitstop one lap earlier because i know it will not be a 51 lap race with this little rain conditions and i did my pitstop in lap32.
i was sure with 67 sec. lead and not much fuel take and will stay in front of simon if i do change tyres (start wit med med) and do soft soft for the last 18laps, but the med tyres was ok and i was not sure about the wheather, if it will start strong rain we had to do an extra stop and with not change tyres i had many seconds won (do win??), so i did not change.
simon did close the gap, but to slow, but later i was in a very very unlucky situation, in front of me was API and he was little faster then nsfast and did try to catch him and with my not change tyres i was same fast or only little faster and i did think...ok stay behind, gap is good, but then i saw H@llo comes fast from behind and i was not sure what to do, if i let him overtake it is a 3driver battle which will cost me time behind this cars, but then comes a other car to group API/nsfast, so there was 3 GT cars in front battle in 1 faster direct behind me and simon comes closer and closer, i was now nervous, but then after (i think) a battle i could overtake (they let me, big thanks) and race was done, puh puh.
i am happy with my win. The weather was great, more interesting race then in complete dry, but not so difficulty as it was in spa, perfect condition.
i was again very surprive about how great the 2 class races here are, no problems i had with every GTC car, extrem fair.

i hope i can race next sunday, but i am not sure, but in my favourite track dubai (if i remember correct here is last race) i do drive.

i did exactly same mistake with tyres as simon did.
1st stint intermed., and i had no temperatures in the tyres very much time in 1st stint and i did loose many places, then short before i did pitstop i did hit the wall hard and i had the "aston" fault with the 95sec. repair suspenstion, i did change this on XD to not change and do my pitstop.
i did again same mistake as simon and changed to soft wet, in beginning of stint great, but then nightmare, i did not coold down the tyres and i had sometimes between 140-155° in fron and nearly same in rear.
but the main problem was, that i had perhaps realy a suspension problem, because my car always drive to the right side in the straight always, it was dump in the corners, but after 2 or 3 laps it was nearly no problem i only had to do the wheel always a little move more to the left side, so no time i did loose (i think), because i was same fast then simon.
we both come always little more in front, but any laps before end he did had suddently 5-6 sec. lead, little mistake here and little mistake there from me.
2 or 3 laps before end gazzer do come in outside of last corner and i was 4th, and then in last lap suddenly the gap to simon do go lower (little) very quick, but i did not can catch him.

this was a very very hard race for me, the rain strong? did change so much often, 1st stint no tyre temps and 2nd stint to hight tyre temp., but race was good and very intensive and 4th place in end is a good result in this conditions and it was exactly how jayblue did pm me, the traffic, lapping cars, overtake is best i ever did see, so much gentleman drive it was.

ps. sometimes you must use your imagine, i do often not know the correct words in english. Wink
