That was a very eventful race, The damp track for Q2 was different, liked that. Had nice quali battle with Mark Jonzo and Jure
.
Opening laps and Jure has a bit of a slide exiting the last turn, this lets me get a run into T1. Managed to go from 6th to 4th after Jonzo and one of those Nice blue and white lambos give each other a touch up. Then chasing Arron and Backo they give each other a touch up and im handed 2nd
.
Few laps later im caught up behind Anthony Humphreys, i was waiting for the next straight before i pass him as i made a failed attempt to go around the outside of T5, then outta nowhere Backo comes up flashing his lights at a rate of knots !!
and passes me into T6, Nice move there m8, hope i gave you plenty of room. Shortly after that, Backo is closing up on Brian, they have a bit of an arm wrestle, then Backo goes flying off track narrowly missing Pops in the Vertigo
.
Brain m8 im so sorry about the nudge i gave you at T2, was slipstreaming you up runway and didnt take into consideration the extra speed i had going into the braking area. That probably seemed pretty aggresive in your eyes but i didnt mean to do it, just couldnt pull it up on time. luckily you held it and i had an off as my pittance
.
I passed Brian on the runway in a move similar to the one with Jure, Don (TVR) was in the middle and Brian on the inside, me on the outside and just got my nose infront for the braking at T2
. Brain then made an error which allowed me to open up a gap quickly.
Pitstop time, entered the pits to find a yellow Saleen in my pitbox
. Had to wait for a few seconds until he had finished. If i had check the pre race posts i would have learned the correct place to turn off the pitlimiter (the lights) but i thought it was the same place as GTR1 (end of the pit garages) so i earned a Stop n go for my ignorance
. Served my Stop n go and dropped back to 3rd behind Dirk and Brian. At this stage i was pushing hard and want to Apologise to Don for bumping you onto the grass, was trying to stay as close as possible and wait for the straight but just got too close and gave you a tap !!.
Managed then to catch and pass Dirk after he ran a bit wide at the exit of T6. Could not see Brian so didnt think i could catch him but i had about 10 minutes to work on it. Surprisingly Brian made a mistake at the last turn and i closed right up, and then got him on the runway.
Loved it last night, sorry about the page long essay but as i said eventful
@Picnic -- i know ive had 4 name changes since ive joined UKGTR, Stnasky, Mark@GP, Mark Mc and now my full name, must be confusing to say the least, but recently ive reinstalled Xp and havent gotten round to creating a new profile with Mark Mc as my ID. Is the name i used last night ok to keep or would you like me to use my older ID ??
