UKGTR Season 5 Endurance Masters - Anderstorp (GP) - Apr 8

[Simon Gymer]

Right after my second attempt, should have the right settings now.

(And this is why I don't start the complicated Endurance Events )

A big sorry to Shark. Running in a train of 5 cars we got caught up with a backmarker I backed of really early for the turn but then Simon seemed to lag down into me. Not sure what happened think I should just stick to Clubmen events  :'( Again Sorry Simon

I was pleased with my qually lap, but shocked to see CJ's  .

I could keep up quite well at the beginning, eventhough I started on 100L of fuel. But I noticed I made my strategy wrong  . So in the pits I had to manually increase the amount of fuel to be added, coasting me alot of time.
Still very pleased with 2nd in this car.

Grats to CJ and Leuv.

Also well done to Lincescom for driving around as the only GT3

 :(Rats. Rats and double rats, quali, didn't go very well, just couldn't get a good lap together and then Reign man and myself looked like we were going to have a damn good fight and then I threw it away, a real shame, it was so close for ages, still I got to see many cars as I was constantly lapped!! Hopefully I didn't baulk anyone, I tried to be as courteous as possible but things happen, Grats to the winners btw.
I think I'll carry on in the GTC, Reign Man and myself are gonna have a blast I think!

Pitiful. That describes my race perfectly really

Could do 1:24.7s in practice, but just couldn't seem to get there in the qualifying, so tweaked setup to try and make better use of tyres. Didn't really work anyway, and then I forgot about putting it back for the race. The result was a car with underinflated tyres and a tendancy to wobble. Not good.

Then, as Simon G was inches from my bumper, my Digiguide decided to update itself! That's never happened before as I usually switch it off, but I was in such a rush tonight I forgot. Hope I didn't screw anything up for you, Shark?

After that, I just drove around, with only the gap to the next car to chase. Oh well, glad to get Anderstorp over with!

Thanks to all the GT2s and GTCs and others tonight - very courteously driven!

Damn.    Car was ok, tyres ok. Ran 5th 15 min to the end when I noticed low fuel level. Would have kept 5th place as Shark behind had enough to do with Paul968 and Paul Richards (I think   ). Had to pit and was finaly 8th - I think.    Too bad, had an enjoyable race, a crown of 4th (others had fuel problems as well) place would make it perfect.  :'(

Well what a great race that turned out to be! First half was very boring. Was just about on the pace of the front GT2 boys then just drifted back with Darren slipping back behind. Got past Luis(i think) after he tangled with Will. Then as I approached my pit stop, I remembered I forgot to plan my fuel for my second stint so also had to do that manually. Took on 50L and away I went. Darren you obviously worked on your pit-stop! Had 6 seconds to get and was getting there slowly but surely. I really pushed the RSR to its limits to catch Darren. Then I was being lapped by a train of 3 GT1 boys when I was in about 2 second of Darren. Decided to let them all past on the runway and try to use them and bait for Darren. Worked well coming out of T2, got a good drive and took Darren into T3. Then the battle commenced! Great stuff Darren, just like Hockenhiem last season you kept me pushing all the way to the end. Back markers split us up and was really pleased to come home to my first podium in GT2!

Great stuff everyone, GT1 boys were excellent passing and the GTC/GT3 guys!

Good job you didn't score any points 'cause you're meant to take a GT3 or G2 car in Masters!

Great race for me! Did a PB in qual but due to standard still started quite far down so I decided for a long first stint followed by a mad dash at the end. Race started with the idea of conserving tyres and found myself in the middle of a great battle. Ended up my own and started to catch Nev as his tryes went off badly before he pitted. Kept an eye on everyone pitting hoping for a quick pitstop and come out ahead of that original group of cars. Stayed out a lap or two too long and a slowish put stop put me behind them. My car was really quick though and after some great battles (and help that I was the quickest down the straight) I got passed. Caught Nev as his tyres went off again. Sorry for the contact mate I think we were 3 wide with a GT2 car!! Heart in mouth stuff. Also sorry to Reign Man for an ambitous pass towards the end I had a shark nipping at my arse! Eccles then ran out of fuel so I luckily ended up on the podium! Knackered now! Congrat to the winners!

Thanks Simon, sorry I was late trying to start the server. Got invaded by a load of unexpected guests and lost track of time for a while

Tuff race, car was too nervous for my liking specially under braking I wasn't totally comfy and the over the curbs (like in T2) and couldn't put the gas down as hard as I wanted, felt pretty good tho first 2/3 of a stint, then it just struggled remaining part with understeer plus the oversteer got worse too 
Gap remained pretty static for most of first part, some occasional small errors from us both moved it abit, in the middle part of first stint I suddenly increased alot over a few laps, but then had a big tank slapper out of the final turn and had to gain control again and gap went down to 4s and stayed there till the pitstop. Fast stop, but when I got out again lapping some NGTs down to T2 I forgot my cold tires and couldn't make the turn in time    thought that was the lead going there, but Jeff stayed out a few laps more and I put in some fast laps and managed to stay about 8s ahead of him, ok helped he had some argues with his crew too 
Rest of race just focused on not putting wheels in sand/grass etc, almost worked only a few minor close calls 

Anyway good pace in that C5R "CSL"   

[Nevski]

Gutted 

Turns out I could have got a podium here, as I was running comfortably ahead of Paul Richards with 5 minutes to go. My lack of experience with GT1 cars showed me up though, as I underestimated the fuel requirement at my pit stop and ended up running out with one lap to go 

Congrats to CJ and Leuven. Also, thanks to the GT2 cars for being so courteous in traffic. I might switch to the Lambo for the remaining races since there were hardly any there today, and the Saleen is looking a bit common
