More commiserations for Steve here too, unlucky mate, you should have won last night. Will have to put it down to a 'mechanical failure'...GT40's arent the most reliable in the world
A blown opportunity for a top 5 finish for me too. Had great pace and after a reasonably good start off the line was hoping for a top race long fight but i totally misjudged how bad the GT40 was at stopping on cold tyres and brakes and basically blew my race on lap 2 by outbraking myself twice and running off into the grass/gravel and then compounding my misery by clipping the oil drums at the chicane and spinning myself around
...dropped from 7th? to 17th :'(
What a disastrous start. Then spent half the race playing catch up and losing way too much time getting caught behind some drivers including Mr Drakes 20ft wide GT40 on more than one occasion
It took until about lap 23 and running 10th before i had a nice clear track to put the hammer down and i got the gap down to 9th place from 14 secs to 4? before the race ended. But 10th is where i finished.
GT40 is a fantastic car, the track is excellent for racing and the grid looked awesome with the mixture of cars smoking away.
Think i finished the race with 5th fastest race lap but too many errors early on cost me a decent finish.
Congrats to pody guys
ps struggled with some bad warping issues whenever anyone left the race again last night. My home connection is hardly great at the moment but there seems something a-miss with the srouk server lately. Far too many discos and it seems to get very unstable whenever anyone leaves the game. I saw pings on certian drivers go from 91 to 1525 ! like a pulse sometimes. Someone else reported that too during qually.
