 Smiley I wanted to try a different tactic here rather than play P2 to Goldtops Porsche again and after finding the white Pantera gear ratios were all wrong for this track I opted for the Scirocco. I found this car a real joy to drive with foot off over steer followed by power out. You can get into some excellent tank slappers and just power out its great.  Grin

Qualified P3 but got mullered by Legzy  Cheesy who came from behind in a flying Stang so settled into P4 until Syd ran out of fuel!!  Wink I then watched the Goldtop, Legzy battle and managed to hang onto the pair of them. Legzy got the better of Goldtop via brute horse power passed and slowly pulled a gap and then little by little I reeled the Goldtop in BUT just when things got good he beamed out!!  Shocked Sad I thought I was in for a win for while when Legzys tyres went off....I would see a cloud of dust in the distance indicating that the Stang was getting a bit loose  Grin but some how Legzy always managed to drag it back into play.  Grin Finished P2...Well done Legzy on the win all the best things are worth waiting for and Phspok for your P3.  Smiley

The Alfa and the VW seem well matched although the Alfa has slightly more power on the straights I think.

I too found the Alfa and VWs very similar in pace here, but the Alfa was a bit more fun for me. I fully expected to be 3rd or 4th by T1 with the grunt of the stangs off the line, so was relieved to still hold onto 2nd. I saw Legzy and Mark battling it out behind me which gave me a bit of breathing space for a few laps until Legzy got free and started to close me down. I thought I might be able to hang on to Legzy when he passed me, but had no chance and found that I actually lost time by pushing the Alfa too hard. Never noticed Syd in the pits and assumed he'd made a mistake when he appeared in last place after taking fuel. Easy mistake to make mate.

I settled into 2nd knowing that Mark would find it very difficult to pass with the slight grunt advantage of my Alfa, but then came my disco. That's 2 GTL races in a row now so I was really not a happy bunny  Roll Eyes

Well done Legzy on the win and to Mark and Matt for the podies  Cool

Yes I found that.  I found it quicker to brake into corner to try and get the line right and then feed power in through the corner until I was on full power.  Also I found a good back axle ratio and reduced 5th until it just about hit the rev limiter at the braking point for T1 (4th to 5th was very short).
