Hah! Thrilling! would be the word to use for describing the driving of an LMP on Le Mans track.
I made some changes to H@ls setup - I made it stiffer (arbs) both front and rear and put rear wing to 2. That added some stability as with the orig setup I was out every other lap.
Nice close racing in the first stint up to the miserable try of taking the lead: H@l took a defensive inner line and I missed my braking point for the second chicane. Thought it was surely race over but I managed to just lose about 10 seconds which meant 3 places.
Damage took another 2 sec per lap so I wasn't very optimistic. Pitting gave me more speed and hope to go to the end with fuel. I managed that indeed with less than 1 l at the s/f line.
Second stint was a furious fight with H@l, Jose and RR. Lapping was sometimes critical, one occasion got 3 abreast through chicane.
Well, I'm still not sure (and it doesn't matter) if we touched, RR. Might be just a bit too much throttle. Anyways, I spinned and hit the wall, got damaged again and settled for 4th. Then Jose had a disco (or was that before my crash?) and 3rd seemed ok. Then RR went satelite and I finished 2nd. Good that I had damage and was cruising for the last 15 minutes, saving fuel.
I feel LMPs put GTR2 here on the higher level and I really don't understand this lack of interest.
Good race, something to remember.
