Great race despite the lack of turnout (maybe due to the fact that we seem to be nearly
the only group using the SimBin lobby so nobody from the ABB lobby wants to make a
new GTL install for joining us here
).
Took my WatkinsGlen setup which I found in the online database and tried some slight
modifications which worked fine. Had a nearly perfect lap in qualy and could register
my 2nd pole in a row in this series (although I'm in the 26's driving the IMSA Carrera RSR
by the Brickyard Legends Team which - of course - is from 1975 or later).
Lousy start - as usual - the more that I still have problems from time to time with the
paddle shifting after the gearstick of my G25 makes some problems (I think there's
something broken inside and I've no idea how to repair).
The Porka was much faster in the slower parts of the track but there was no chance at
all on the straights against the pure power of the Boss. So I realized very quickly that
it would be very difficult to pass Postal in the leading position. After some laps I made
some bigger mistakes and needed many laps to get closer to him again. Tried a successfull
"do or die" pass in the penultimate lap but Postal regained the lead for good on the straight.
So he earned a well deserved win!
Sorry for some slight bumpers during the race - the first one destroyed Postal's braking lights,
so it was more difficult for me to find my braking points.
Enjoyed it very much - not my usual type of race
