Not quite right. Check last race where Mo won the GT3 class in the Porka, due to it's much better fueleconomy. I had a better racepace, but I just lost too much in the pits. Almost the same happened this race, he won soooo much with the stops that I got behind him after the stops, eventhough I had a pretty big lead on him. So I find the CC and Porka pretty equal, not in a single lap, but over a long race, they are.
We'll have to agree to disagree on that one then. The point is we're not racing each other ON track and the final outcome is completely meaningless as there is no GT3 championship so one of the main points in racing at all in GT3 is to battle against each other (that and practice of the track). I also don't believe the Porker is competitive compared the Viper CC at all. It was 2 seconds a lap down on race pace on the Viper CC, that can't be made up with better fuel ecomony. Oschers is a special track because of very low fuel consumption and no straights for the Viper CC, but everywhere else it was very inferior (but more fun
). The Viper CC should be in the GTC class imho with a weight help (something for Season 6?)
Then had a great scrap with Shark in the first stint, where I really had to be careful into Adelaide and Chateau d'Eau or he'd of nipped past. Sad to see you spin in the mirror as it was looking like a good scrap and I think you would have got past - I had 90L in the tank so you would have got me under braking somewhere.
Yeah strange that I'm usually poor on the brakes compared to most, but this time I was a lot better. I also like 180 corner (always one of my favorite corners as I like the back end first approach to braking and entering into it).
I probably could have pushed to catch you again but as I was scrapping with TT and it was too much fun so decided not to push up towards you and maybe be close in the 2nd half of the race.
Tonight I put in enough fuel for 90 mins and still ran out. The fuel calc is wrong imo.
I started with 84litres and had to top up to more than half of that at the pit stop too cause the fuel consumption was more than expected. I think I finished with just enough for one more lap.
Nice chase, Shark, as usual.
I had soft fronts which proved to be a mistake. Were grabbing the track greatly at first but as the pace was hard they were losing grip higher than any of my training laps. So when I was on the limit their timespan went down and I made mistakes. Thanks for waiting the first time. At the second spin you were 15 seconds ahead and I wasn't in the mood for another hour of hotlapping. 'ware the next time.
I raced soft front / medium rear too cause the fronts just weren't getting hot enough and the rears were "enjoying themselves".
Was the perfect combo for that track and car for me.
