I had another excellent race with lots of battles with other people and managing to actually overtake 5 times from 10th on the grid to finish 5th. Cool

I haven't run any practice in GTR2 for a couple of seasons and it makes it really difficult to have a decent setup or qualifying position. I have to do my best to make up places in the race. I once again qualified mid-field and as usual made some daring setup changes between qualifying and race, e.g. increasing rear anti-roll bar 100% from qualifying up to 50 or 60 and doing a few other things to stop the big lack of steering I have using 900 degress on my G25.

This time my big setup changes worked and I felt the car was probably a second faster than my qualifying time on softs. But as it was hot and Dubai (a usual killer on tyres) I went for medium slicks all-round. This both worked and didn't work. I was able to lap at my qualifying pace on mediums (so it showed my pace on softs would have been about a second quicker), so no faster, but I was able to lap at that speed the entire race. This helped me get 2 more positions in the last few laps as others struggled on their tyres.

I needed a bit less wing (I was on 2-8) as Blunder's identical Fezza was a lot faster on the straights than me which made it hardest to get past him. I think 2-7 would have been better, which would have still been more than him I think but just enough to have that extra little bit.

Well done to Legzy on his podium (I think I should take some credit for that right Legzy? Wink Wink) and well done to those 2 old codgers at the front. angel I always think Dubai suits both the Porsche and BMW, so was very surprised to see TT manage to set such a good pace in his Ferrari. Cool

UKGTR league racing rocks!

Grats MJ on a flawless race! Deserved it after your recent internet problems CTDs where you've been robbed from some good finishes  Grin

I suprised myself in quali getting 3rd, but in the race I found it hard to keep my concentration. I just do not find Dubai very exhilarating.  I started on med/med and had some good early pace and had some great battles, mainly losing them though lol  Cheesy

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?

When was this? Sorry TT I don't remember. If you can remember roughly when I'll check the replay so I can give you an explanation. My tyres were giving way after 20 mins but you were past me by then  Embarrassed

With about 15 mins to run I spun and quit in 9th I think. A bad night all round after racing just before with Roadrunner in BeTCC at Zolder....  Roll Eyes Shall i retire for good? hehe  laugh

Erm, 1st lap. After getting into your slipstream on a back straight I stayed right. Wanted to scare you, make a pressure, not actualy overtake. Then you started braking and I shot past and normaly made a turn inside of you. Seemed a bit early braking to me, but then it was the first lap, so I don't really know.  Smiley  Made me flinch a bit is all.  scared

TT

P.S. I had 2-8 wing and I could barely follow MJ even in slipstream. You're right, Shark, 2-7 or maybe even 2-6 would be enough.
I had mediums all round. Was thinking of taking rear softs as fronts had 50% more wear, but decided against it as it was a bit too understeary.

Cheers Purds.  Smiley Not had internet connection probs as such, just the Ctd's in qually sessions like several others have experienced, that dump you at back of grid  Sad

TT, i had 2-7 wing last night. Combined with the porkers good traction out of corners, it gave me just enough to stay ahead of you down those straights    I had Hard slicks on the rear to cope with overheating from track temps and the high lateral drags and they stayed fine.  Smiley

That's what happened for me getting past Purdie at the same place but about 8 laps later. I wasn't looking to overtake, I was more on the right to avoid any risk of going in the back of you & suddenly I was past & away  Shocked


Well done to Legzy on his podium (I think I should take some credit for that right Legzy? Wink Wink)
Sorry Simon, you should have been top of my list for holding everyone up behind me Wink Cheesy
But I did forget to thank Lazlow & Blunder especially. The last minute competitive close racing in practice really helped get my lap times down again & your ongoing "words of encouragement lol" on teamspeak continue to inspire Wink

I was a little hesitant on my braking last night as I had just jumped out of a WTCC BMW league race and I think I was just conceding my place. I'll check the replay when I get home, maybe I was just crap into that corner  Cheesy

Like you say Busi, you were mega on the straights lol! But it did average out in the corners. Thats the beauty of having loads of different machinery with different traits.....so much nicer not to see a grid of M3 and 996's  Grin

The car pack seems just right, with new lap records being set just over the old ones. Gr racing  Smiley

When's someone going to create a Group C car pack so we can slip-stream at over 200mph instead of 160mph?  drool

Grr.. wish i'd done that. Didn't think the temps were too high during qually so thought the lower temps would help with mediums allround, but race temp seemed to be higher which killed my tyres and lap times. And sadly through the last two corners of the last lap i barely got the car back under control as the back end just disappeared but Jan managed to outdrag me to the line, how close was that!

Well done Legzy, I just couldnt keep up with you early on and as the tyres got worse i could see Jan and Simon getting nearer.

Disappointed to finish 7th which i would never have said before this season.

Just checked the replay TT and I braked in the same place as Busi, just cautious on cold brakes. MJ braked after and missed the apex. Brakes aren't good on the RSR cold, quite snatchy  Smiley
