That was a cracking race,
my first GTL event in weeks if not months thanks to silly busy life and a severely playing up pc (turned out to be an overheating cpu, throttling back my dram/gfx
)
Qualied a decent 9th with a new pb here and was on an even faster lap in dying minutes but cocked up at the hairpin.
Race was all action from the green flag, with a lot of clean interchanging and position grabbing in the first few corners.
Soon found myself fighting for 5th with Dynosaur ahead and Pribeiro and Ossie chasing me very hard. Had an excellent clean fight for 8 laps or so with Prib, with both of us swapping positions several times until about lap 11 when braking behind him at the hairpin and the car suddenly veered off right into the bank
That allowed Ossie past and we swapped places a few times throughout the race as we both had incidents.
Then i had a long quiete spell until about lap 22 and then for some reason the car started handling terribly in the fast sweeping corners and i went off about 3 times in 2 laps
This allowed someone in a Mclaren and Ginsters to catch and past me and i suddenly found myself down in 10th...and not happy!
What followed was a corking battle royale with ginsters in his GT40 for the last 6 laps of the race
it was superb!....i was almost standing on my flipping pedals to miss his rear end in that super fast last sector every single lap as i could carry way more speed through the middle of the turn but had no way past his fat yankee butt
We had several side by side moments through turns 1 - 3 and i eventually got up the inside of him on the penultimate lap and got ahead through those same turns.
Great stuff, really enjoyed that battle and race and bagged 5th fastest race lap so should have finished higher.
Shame i missed all season, congrats to Dan on his well earned championship and commiserations to my team mate Steve :'(....that means no promotion from
Cinzano tea-boy at Legends im afraid
