Just done a few laps earlier to see what its like and i cant wait now! 997 seems to be quite nice around here, best i've managed so far after 30mins was a 59.7 which surprisingly is only a second off the race pace record.

Looks like I might have to concede to being runner up in this race to my more experienced and older team mates Grin
The BMW M3 is a bit of a handle full at this circuit, I just can't seem to get any drive out of the corners without the back end stepping out all the time Huh So far I've managed a 1:59.9 in quali trim...but overall I average about 2:00.5.

Bit of a disaster that. Qualified about 5th from the back and then had a power cut with 8 minutes of Q left. After 5 minutes or so the power came back and I rushed back in just in time to make the race from the back of the grid, minus the setup changes I'd made in qually.

First few laps were okay but eventually the distraction showed as I missed my braking point at turn 1 and spun avoiding ramming the back of Matt Rowe or Smokey or somebody. Drove like a man possessed to try and catch them again but burned up the rears in the process and just as I caught them up rear grip fell away dramatically and I spun again under braking and had to just tip toe round the last few laps to make sure I made it to the finish in one piece.

Was a pretty odd race for me...

Firstly cause I had so much extra speed on the straights compared with the rest of cars. I was on 7 rear wing (not too low) so I guess the difference is on the car. So I was much faster on straight but struggled a LOT on the fast corners, as the guys I fought with today could see.

Also, my speed looked good for the first 2-3 laps but soon I started sliding and I didn't have an easy race. MJ and TT disappeared and I could barely keep their pace. Legzy caught me and I tried to keep him behind but he was all over me in the slow parts of the circuit. When I made a mistake he got past. I tried to take him with 2 corners to the chequered flag but spun and he was back ahead lol great racing mate Smiley

Grats to the podium!

1st part was worrying, it seemed everyone and their hamsters were faster!
Actually it was just JPS and SMokey, who both passed, JPS had more speed on the straights
and SMokey drove better than I did, and got past after one on my many errors
Got it together more in last half, caught and passed Smokey then caught and worried the
back of JPS 911. Never quite made the pass, but was great fun trying, good drives guys.  Smiley

Lol, MJ's too tyred to post. Guess I made him sweat a bit.  Cheesy
Grats MJ.  Cool  A proper Fezza / Porker battle it was, never a second apart.    With your wobbly exits my biggest concern was not to collect us both and let those ... others win.  Tongue  Grats on the third, Legzy.  Smiley

I was a bit surprised with that braking, Purdie. Really didn't think you'd brake that early, good that I was on the right or I would surely hit you. Was that your normal braking point or were you preparing a tight turn in?
A small mistake from from Busi let me pass, then I went for MJ.  Evil

Legends 1st and 2nd, whaddya know!  Grin  Well done, JPS, glad you enjoyed the race.  Smiley

Well I'm just back from doing a lap of the lounge with my T-Shirt over my head & making a speech thanking my wife (for her patience & support) in honour of my 1st ever podium

I shall now be listening to the 'Rocky Theme Tune' before every race, wearing my now 'lucky underpants' & I wont be shaving for some time Wink

I know I only finished third, but that is seriously amazing for me & it was literally only just third!

Spent the first half the race hanging onto the shirt tales of the top four as we opened up a gap back to sixth spot. Finally I started getting involved in the mix, Busi ran wide once & I got passed, but only held him up for a lap before I flashed him through at the end of the back straight where he was blatantly quicker. Busi then got past Purdie who I soon managed to slip past under braking. I got the impression your tyres were already starting to suffer? Undecided
Then was doing everything I could to stick with Busi  sweatdrop, again my tyres seemed to be holding better then his as I felt I was making up anything I lost on the straights a little quicker through the turns. Undecided Under pressure (I hope) Busi ran wide at a slow left-hander & like a gent flashed me through (thanks), I'm sure he just wanted a break from me snapping at his heals & thought he'd hassle me for a change Wink
Last lap & got to the final (tricky) left-hander, still in third by mere inch's & typical me... I forgot to brake & ran well wide hang. Busi slipped through, but was probably shocked by my antics & wobbled as he got the power down, luckily I had recovered well & got straight back past for the final two turns. 2guns

It was great racing with you Busi, great scrap & some great/patient driving on your part at times, cheers & congrats to MJ & TT
Well back to normal next week I'm sure.

Mmmm, got a bit beaten up !
Had a couple of little incidents, one with Jan, may be? (not seen the replay yet!) and then with Roadrunner later which dropped me from 7th to 12th!
Not impressed but made it back up to 9th in the end.
Had a good short tussle with Simon early on but his pedigree shone through in the end!
and had a great battle with Ade in the Panoz. I was obviously quicker round all the twisty bits but he then powered away from me on the straights.
Great close racing, eventually I managed to just put my nose ahead enough to pinch the place.
Caught Team mate Lazlow in a few more laps and he kindly didn't fight the place too much! Thanks buddy.
Unfortunately, there were just not enough laps left to pass Evert who I was right behind at the finish!
Another 2 laps and it could have been a different story!

Looks like the 430 was better suited to the track this race. Great to be further up the field for a change!

But lastly a big cheer for Team mate Legzy for an excellent performance getting on the podium!

The addition of Lazlow to the Team and Chris' determination to be the 'set up king' has helped drag my performance up a little in GTR2 too. Grin

Look out for Team Oldie in this and future seasons! we're gonna give you guys a run for your money!!  Grin

Go Team Oldie !!

yeehaw !  i was very chuffed to bag another win of the season at another of my fave racing tracks  Cool

Couldnt have asked for a sweeter result with Pole position, fastest race lap and the race win  clap
Not bad considering i hadnt done any sim racing since last tuesday due to an urgent contract i bagged !  Shocked Had done some praccy on friday and squeezed in a quick half hour about an hour before last nights race but i always seem to go well here even if the results dont come my way. My karting pody at the weekend must have fired me up !!  Smiley

Qually battle was great, i think there were 4 of us seperated by a few hundreths of a second throughout the session Shocked until Busi did a 1:57:? and that really turned up the pressure. I knew i had managed 1:56's in offline praccy so wasnt about to give up. With about 4.5mins of the session remaining i banged in a 1:57 to grab pole  Smiley and after seeing a couple of people disco, took the executive decision to sit in my pit box for the remaining 4 minutes rather than risk a ctd as thought i'd rather risk dropping a couple of places than to the back of the grid. It was a nerve wracking 4mins as i watched the 3 nearest chargers, purds, TT and Busi try to steal my laurels. But nobody did !...Pole Position !!  ninja

Race was nerve wracking as hell, i hadnt led a race from pole for a very long time (if ever?) and immediately came under heavy pressure from Busi who i assumed would steam past me on the opening lap with his extra horsepower. But i kept leaving him behind through the twisties and my 7 wing negated the horses a little. After several laps, TT got past him and then my troubles really began !
I knew from past duels in praccy on this track that me and TT are very evenly matched in pace around Dubai as we both like its layout and smooth tarmac flow. He then attacked me constantly for the entire duration of the race usually staying only 0.5 secs behind me apart from about 2-3 laps where i gained a small advantage only for him to close again on the following lap.  It was intense pressure and i was hoping he would make an error or back off a little as after 10-15mins of racing we had a 12 second advantage over the following pack ! Shocked
I was also worried about my front left tyre wear and really wanted to ease off a little but TT was having none of it  sweatdrop
Dont know what TT means about 'wobbly exits' as i didnt put a foot wrong all race and he only got alongside me once or twice at the end of the long back straight under braking  Huh (And its always easier being the chaser  Wink )
The car got a little understeery in the final few laps as the front left wore out but otherwise the 997 felt superb here and i was very chuffed to bag a win and beat the Ferrari in a straight duel to the finish  thumbup1

Congrats to TT for a hard fight and to Legzy for his great podium  thumbup2

Just teasing you a bit there.  Tongue  And you fell for it.  Grin

I did have a bit later braking point but closing the gap doesn't mean overtaking as any aggressive move from me might have had bad consequences and was therefore not a move to make. Evil  You were very stable, MJ and pulled away every time on exit so I didn't really have a chance.  thumbup1 

P.S. Busi's gonna leave us behind at Road America with all that muscles in his car.  Tongue
