Hope that all goes well Kurt!

As said in chat, I had been in a Z4 GT3 car on the Sunday night racing I do, so jumping in this was so, so different. Enjoying the variety!

Initially used the Brands setup, but it was really loose at every corner, and trying to do the worlds best waltzer impression on the brakes at the end of the National straight, so some adjustments were definitely required.

Made some changes and it felt much better to me. Uploaded it if anyone needs one going forward.

Made a bit of a mess of the first couple of laps, and Erling was all over and around me. Pulled myself together, knowing a gap of some description would be required, and got my head down....Now, I had no idea how much time would be lost on the drive through, so had just decided to bite the bullet and do it at halfway to at least be able to know what I could maybe claw back. Ended up coming out in P2, only a few seconds behind Erling. Set about catching up, and then a good dice for a few laps before eventually making a move properly stick. By this point the rear tires were starting to feel a bit worn, surprising given that the car essentially has no power! Kind of had to manage pace for the rest of the race due to the rear being loose, but was good fun all the way.

Quick word for Robbie. I think it was 4 times I approached you to lap you, short lap so it happens more of course. Just wanted to thank you for seeing me coming, and giving all the correct room to go on by, really courteous driving thank you.

Grats to Erling, consistent as always. I think the gearing difference may be worth looking at, as my car was able to pull alongside without too much drama, and that's nothing I was doing.

Same here; hope you get better soon Kurt!

Enjoyable race, in stark contrast to the first one, and with a few surprises.

Not much time to practice; about an hour before going online.  Found my offline pb on par with the fastest non-Daz times posted in online praccy.  Couldn't match it however, and qual seemed even worse - problems stringing a proper lap together and issues with traffic during the short session.  Thus very surprised to be 2nd on grid, as several drivers had posted faster times in the previous praccy session.

Kept my position at the start, and even borrowed 1st for a few secs on L2, when Daz went a bit wide in T1.  He was quickly back in front, pulling away as expected. Unexpectedly however, given the aforementioned laptimes, I was pulling away from the chasing pack too.  Daz did his drivethru around midrace, handing me the lead. Had he waited a few laps more, he could have kept the lead.  Mistake, or deliberate, to inject at least some variation into what must be quite boring races?   We had a battle for a few laps, but of course he found a way past eventually.  Had a comfortable gap back to 3rd at this time, so 2nd was secure, bar any screwups or tech issues on my part.

Grats to Daz on another win (one drivethru obviously not enough to alter things..  Wink)  Grats to Clive on 3rd and the drivethru next race  Grin

Edit:  Thanks Daz regarding the gearing.  I did start out with the taller one, but found myself faster with the lower one.  Maybe more praccy with both could have reversed the order.   And I second the praise for Robby; you seemed quite situational aware!  thumbup1

I was just totally lost on how long the drive through would take Erling, so had made a plan and was sticking to it. I've made a mess of several races elsewhere recently by trying to change plans a little bit on the fly, so erred on the side of caution. I'm guessing each pitlane will be different, so this time loss will differ at each track.....
