Well, that was an unexpected win. And a *really* long time since I had a race without a single spin.
Very lucky that I was able to retrieve my old setup from S7 back in march. Good thing this forum has a show all post by user, and even luckier that filefront still keeps my old setup file around. Don't get me wrong, it's nothing special at all, but it is better then default. At least with Psuedos corrections.
Good dice with MADD, Kerr, and Busi in the beginning. I foolishly locked the brakes into T2, going wide and dropping from 2nd to 4th. Got back 3rd from Busi on the downhill brakes and Kerr had his issues and gave me 2nd. Time to chase the leader.
Chased Madd for quite a few laps, and was looking for a place to make a pass. Tried on the downhill brakes a few times, my favorite place, but no go. Finally got a good drive out of the esses, and with the help of a bit of drafting I could get in Madd's way for the long righthander. Good race.
After that I guess Madd's tires were giving him more issues then I got from mine, as the distance grew slowly. Last 20 minutes just cruised by myself, trying to baby the left front and stay on track.
Even though I took 65l fuel for 29laps / 57 minutes, I was still worried the last few laps. Fortunately time ran out just before I crossed the line, so no worries there.
There's something about the Modena and Brno for me, not my favorite track or car or anything, it just fits very well somehow. As long as you mind the left front, it's very easy on the tires. Think I finished with 19 on the left front, 15-17 on the others, all medium. I practiced a whole lot, and I mean a *lot*...back in march for the S7 Brno race, and while that one didn't go quite so well, it finally paid off now, six months later
Sorry to hear about your woes Kerr, really odd behaviour that. Looked at your times on the praccy server and thought I wouldn't have a chance, but I sure would have liked to try.
Been having pretty poor performance in S8 so far, so nice to be competetive at the front for once. Thanks again.
Oh, who was it that knocked me clear off track, over the railing, after the race
