First of all huge apologies for the start line blunder!
I nailed the gas in 1st and just lost the sound of my own engine revs in the surrounding noise, then I realised I was on the rev limit so stuffed it into 2nd gear without lifting and the inevitable happened
Although I might have been able to occupy Erling's mirrors had I made a better start, I think GT was a second a lap faster than I could muster.
Once I found the right line through the first few bends it was quite a satisfying race and the Beemer certainly handled well. I almost did not take tyres at my pitstop, but for some reason I thought we HAD to renew rubber ....read the rules next time Clive
Either I am still not reading the fuel left/usage correctly, or I have a faulty fuel gauge, because I though I had plenty of fuel to complete the race and secure what had become a very lonely 3rd place on the podium. The air turned a very definite shade of blue around these parts when the engine died .
Arnold is about to receive a fuel level sensor in an area of his anatomy that will not be expecting it and certainly not at the velocity with which I intend to deliver it
