MJ seemed to have had some trouble, and I passed him as he off, he caught when I ot ambitious
in the right sweeper onto the back straight, then had some close racing for a few laps
until it looked like his steering broke as he then smashed from side to side of the track
tried to avoid, but just caught him on one of his cross track bounces, maybe bent my
splitter don't know,
Really sorry for that Matt, my damn pedals came off the race frame (no i still hadnt had time to bolt them down
) so my expensive speed 7's were once again defeated by some two-bit velcro stick downs
I careened offline, spanked the wall at high speed and then slithered and careened some more across track and finally hit the wall again hard
Was hoping you would get by without contact but not quite. By the time my car came to a halt it was like a well rounded 50 pence piece. :'(
Had enjoyed a great early part of the race again, dicing with spanner, HOL? Matt and Jorghenfor 6th to 10th places, trading places a few times. The car was good in the first 15-20 minutes but then as the pedals moved further away and at a a stupid angle, i started flying off track a couple of times or making mistakes. Soon dropped from 6th/7th down to 12th before my final and big off !
First thing i am doing this morning is bolting the damn pedal box down to the frame !!
Not sure i am going to perservere with the C6 Vette. Love the look and sound of it but find it too much hard work to race with. Its a typical yank tank, tons of understeer and then a back-thumping lump of torque at every dab of the throttle. It means you spend the whole race wrestling it into corners only for it to try and spit you off on exit. I had to run 70 power diff just to tame the horses
Dubai is still one of my top 5 race tracks for racing on...superb !
