Cracking race, really had a fantastic battle with Brian Kerr and mostly Jure all the way from start to the pitstops. It was a shame they came up as i was loving the 2nd place v 3rd fight with Jures Lambo.
I was all over him in a lot of the turn complexes but just couldnt match the Lambos traction out of the corners and he would gain a breather every time i got right behind him. Superb fight.
I really thought i was on for a podium tonight, i seemed to have the measure of Brian and had pulled out a small gap and was hoping to force Jure into an error to grab 2nd but after the stops i came out 10 seconds behind them both
...i guess they had carried more fuel than me for their first stint and therefore needed less on the second stint?
I was going to do that but thought the heat would destroy my tyres but they actually stayed pretty good.
After the pitstop i lost about 4 more seconds catching lapping cars in all the wrong places on track and so then had a 12 sec deficit to make up.
I got it back down to 8 seconds but then the race finished and i brought it home a dis-consolate 4th.
The pody still eludes me in GTR2
Congrats to the top 3, fantastic driving and thanks also to all the slower cars who made every effort to make room. It looked ace on track seeing all the cup cars, like the vipers and porkers etc., and made it feel more realistic.
