First win in the UKGTL for me. It was a nice feeling.
We (Me and Hristo) had a good training these days and scouted the cars before deciding witch one to use.
Hristo shocked me at the qualify with that fast 1:47 e provided. I was pushing to beat him and start from the pole but he was so fast. Then i decidet to practise starts, but unfortunately the time was up.
At the start i once again was terible. Didnt used the clutch and the result was bad. At the begining of the first corner i was 6th i think. Then at the begining of sector 2 Dan colided with the tyre bariers and i wasnt enable to avoid him as the game teleporting him in the right side of my car for witch i am very sorry to him (the hit).
After that i started a battle with Coyote. My car was better at the corners but he had more power on the straight lines so there was no chance to overtake him if he dont make a mistake. There was oportunity to try and make a overtake diving in the corners but i decided not to rush things and risk an incident. Fortunately for me he maded a mistake at the end of the last chicane in sector 1 so i was promoted to P2. Started catching Hristo in P1, making the fastest lap of the race so far and thought i have a chance for the win.
The first stop was bad. I missed the pit stop position so had to go back and front again. Finaly i was out of the pits and few laps later i saw Hristo making second stop. I knew he was geting a stop and go or drive through penalty and that was the moment i started thinking about wining this event.
The second stint was good, i was matching Hristo's pace and had more than 20 second lead. At the second stop the story replayed once again - couldnt find the right spot on the box and once again - reverse, neutral and 1st.
I knew if i was able to get out of the pits in time i will be 90% winning the race.
The third stint was bad. I dont know if i was a little bit tired, lost focus or i dont know but the lap times was bad - 1 to 2 seonds slower, plus few missed corners, especialy turn 1, locking the brakes.
Congrats to the second and third placed guys and hope to see you guys (all of you) next - at the No Grip Nostalgia Hillclimb.
