I thought that I would use this event as a reason to use my final Porsche drive.
I cannot say that I like the car and I struggle lap by lap to extract any good times. One lap is fast and the next feels just as quick, but is 2-3 secs slower??
I was trying to drive steadily in last night's race and was keeping Ziu and Daz in sight, mostly thanks to the Porker's warp drive on the long straight. Then Daz had a spin at the Esses and in trying to avoid him I think I bumped over some kerbs rather harshly. It might have been elsewhere, but something deranged the rear left suspension in such a way that the tyre was now running red hot and what little handling I had enjoyed before, vanished.
The car was all but undriveable and after 2 laps of excursions and a final crunch into the armco, I quit.
I could perhaps have limped to the pits and attempted a repair, but experience tells me that a 20 minute pitstop was not going to improve my finishing position.
PS for anyone interested.....UKGPL are holding their annual get together at the The Oulton Park Gold Cup meeting at the end of July. Some of us are camping for the weekend, one or two are intending to visit for a day.
As we are all simracers, we would be glad to see anyone from UKGTL who fancies a chat (about how much better GPL is as a sim
) and probably a pint ( or two)
