Congratulations to everyone who made it to the finish and thanks to Tony for putting on the event.
It looks as though Dan took the Gr4 Over 2 ltr crown.
Fantastic speed from Donato and the gang.
My race was a disaster! I have come to the conclusion that the tyre wear multiplyer in PnG is a load of old twonk! I tested at x4 using hard tyres and found that I was lapping quite nicely at the end of ten laps without having to change them at the pit stop. In the race this was far from the truth and I had to change to a set of mediums for the second half of the race.
My car was not damaged at any point but I still managed my fastest lap on the hard tyres, although that might have been down to getting a tow down the straight by the Italian mob early on.
Tim passed me and disappeared into the distance and I was left struggling with the hard tyres, which deteriorated far more than expected.
When I cam into my pit stop Giuseppe was sat in the pit bay immediately before mine and I couldn't get my car into a position that was acceptable to the pit crew so I had to do another lap.
I had better luck next time and having had a diabolical lap to get there had decided to go onto mediums.
After that it was just another 18 laps of the same. The medium tyres went off towards the end and I went off a couple of times. On one occasion I was thrashing about in the woods at the 3km point when Otto and Federico came past to lap me. In the chat room after the race, this prompted Otto to ask I was looking for mushrooms! LOL
Happy New Year All see you next season.
