Quite enjoyed taking the old E30 around the Ring, just a shame i didnt get to do any actual racing. Finished p4 both races, way behind the meteoric front 3 and way in front of the rest of the pack. As a result i found it hard to keep my concentration in the 2nd race especially aware that it was turning into another longer evening sim racing, my third night in a row. My mind wandered with a third of a lap to go thinking swmbo will tear me a new one and i ploughed into a barrier hard
Had broken screen, body damage and wonky suspension but with a 12 sec lead over 5th i just wobbled around to the finish line.
But enjoyed the first race, the E30 was surprisingly well behaved over the bumps and turns, though i was running it fairly stiff.
Also in the 2nd race i thought i would have a grandstand view at least of the top 3 battling but there is a stupid piece of armco that sticks out at the first corner into the full Nordschleiffe and even though i took the corner quite casually lining up along the barrier before turn in, it gave me such a crack that the car was pitched sideways and into the air over the grass
so i instantly lost about 5 secs and that was almost the last i saw of them
Would have been mid 9.20's with a bit more focus as found one notch longer on the gears gave me more pace in certain sections but tiredness took over in the second race.
Shame the turnout wasnt bigger for such a great combination of cars and track, but well done for organising it Tim.
Was almost poetic that it happened on the same day we lost Sabine.
