Lo peeps,
A little less dehydrated than yesterday now (although it's really nice and warm over here, just before footy
) so here's my race stuff.
First off I want to say well done to Matjaz as well for leading the pack to a good start, good pace and no full throttle out of last corner, but just waiting for finish line. Which all led me to be really close to Mike and seeing the 2 Turbo's were both working I managed to pass him on the first straight
. Woohoo! 3rd in an N-GT sprint race!
I was chuffed, could even follow Shark reasonably closely and managed to pull away from the rest of the pack. Until, I guess, everyones tyres were warming up and mine only were at the back, loool!
Which meant an even more oversteery Porsche than normal and a spin for me at the chicane, letting Popa (or 'POOOOOP' now?
) and Mike through. No worries still in 5th!
Fronts were mediums and should prolly have been softs, since they stayed on 60 C for the whole race.
Getting up to backmarkers now, while I was gaining on Popa, which helped me a bit, since I guess it was harder for him to overtake than for me. Have to give a really big thank you to Rufbtr, who I thought at the time was having problems (and now confirmed
) who luckily for me was looking in his rearviewmirrors very well and therefore noticed me locking my brakes when trying to get close to him and let me pass without contact
!
After that 1 more dumb spin in last lap after I had thought the race would be over, but wasn't, grrr, and lost concentration into T1 and T2. Can't remember what spot I finished in, can't care either
, was a very nice race for me. I really think the next season will be even more fun, since it seems most people actually got the hang of the cars they drive now and there's a lot more close racing!
