This track will never be a favorite of mine. The corner string T2-T3-T4 is one of my most hated ones - especially T3; no matter how agonizingly slow you go, it's still too fast, and no matter how long you wait before going on the throttle, it's always too early.
Race itself a thing to forget. Initially got well through the usual confusion at T1 on the first lap, with a tight inside line which - very - briefly put me in 3rd, before I was summarily rammed off track by Clive's wayward Pantera. That dropped me to 7th, but thanks to various moments for other drivers, I was up to 4th when I arrived at the hairpin. Trailing Dan, waiting for the inevitable, which happened after just a couple of laps: exiting the chicane, his power monster spun, handing me 3rd.
Had Matt in my mirrors for a few laps, but he slipped back. Leaders were long gone, so most of the race was an utterly lonely affair.
Grats to untouchable Manfred & Daz. Commiserations to the early retirees.
Can't remember if I've mentioned it before, but years ago, at the Copenhagen Classic Grand Prix, I had the opportunity to see and HEAR the red & yellow Panteras featured in GTL. Sound was unbelievable; thunder on wheels doesn't begin to cover it. I was standing at a tight corner, where they accelerated away. You could feel the vibration through the ground!! Absolutely fantastic!
