UKGTL Season 12 GT Cup '76 - Zeltweg (Österreichring) - Sep 3

[M Cinderby]

  Had a fantastic race with Berger, Geoffers, Hristo and Pelle. Made a few errors during the race and may have tapped Hristo into T-last so sorry for that H we had different lines. Still had some great racing with H who never gives up and the Boss just thunders down the straights.........Great fun.

Finished a very happy P2 using my least loved car the Porsche.

Grats Berger & Mark, yes fun race  

Got a weird start, full speed...get too close & must get rid throttle & engine dies almost completely (but better than in the last race, had forgotten to put it in 1st )
Something has happened up in the front & is now in battle with Geoffers, Mark & ​​Hristo (Berger is away in front) In T1, Hristo is back & take a really nice flight trip...I see it all in the mirror & forget my braking point for T3, DOH  
Later I come up to Hristo again & in T6? slides Hristo out, I go inside & keeps fence, but maybe the connection gives a little push, Hristo write in chat:  

Regardless, fun track & even more fun in the big Boss, thanks for the entertainment to you all

Was having loadsafun dicing with Tony, who's 302 seemed much better in corners, until my tyres
were on fire and I was struggling to keep it on the track at all, after yet another smack into
the barriers gave up as it was becoming masochism. Is there a tyre choice for the 302?
if so I had the wrong ones

I had a good start and passed a couple of drivers, made it cleanly around T1 then went thundering down to T2. Matt's Boss was taking an inside line at T2 and so was I. Although I braked quite early it was not enough to avoid giving Matt the very smallest of taps on the rear quarter. This sent him in to one of those slow motion, lasts forever spins. I continued up the road waiting for Matt to pass which he did eventually, after doing some last minute shopping I suspect, and we then started a very long cat and mouse chase which must of lasted for at least 20 laps. I did eventually pull away from him after I saw him collect an armco barrier rather heavily. Must admit I breathed a sigh of relief, the racing/chasing had been epic and I'm not used to that kind of racing action.

So great fun and looking forward to the remainder of the series as we have some cracking circuits left to visit.

Good race, just a shame it ended early. 

Got quite a good start from 2nd on the grid, not the easiest car to get off the line, & outdragged Berger to T1. Thanks to the 302's straight line speed I held onto the lead for 3 laps until a silly mistake at T1 let Berger, Mark & Hristo past. Tried hard but couldn't close the gap back up until Mark & Hristo tangled at the last corner. Diced with Hristo for a couple more laps until we had what seemed a slight coming together at the end of the back straight. Unfortunately my car bounced off into the barriers, flipped & killed the engine  . Race over!

Congrats to Berger, Mark & Pelle.
