UKGTR Season 9 Summer Challenge (GT3) - Le Mans (Sarthe) - Jun 14

[H@L9000]

If you fancy a bash at Laguna H@L, what you doing Tuesday night? 

Sadly I am always busy on Tuesday nights.

I did attend the GT1 sprints (class I most enjoy) but, I got into a bit of trouble for it.  Dam real life.

Fantastic circuit, which made for a great race...finished 8th which I am very pleased with considering the strong top ten finishers.

Picnic could have had my 8th place a couple of times if he didn't keep chucking himself off the circuit everytime he caught me....good battles with a couple of other drivers (Ade in his Lotus), but good to finish behind Dave Gizmo considering his pace in qual and the race

Yeah good racing JPS i tried to stick with you but out braked myself at the last chicanes and threw myself into the kitty litter so as not to hit you (don't think it would have been a hard hit)


                                       Cheers for the fun

Dont know what happened to the 350z as i remember it in GTC as being horrible but in GT3 its amazing. Was struggling to hold on to Dave in the first half as we all got strung out and i couldnt believe how fast Busi was, i was sitting on the limiter and you just breezed past I'd filled up at the start and actually found the tyre wear was pretty even and could manage it reasonably well so took a gamble and didnt change tyres in the stops which i helped having spun in the Dunlop chicane and lost about 10secs beforehand

Came out with TT a few secs behind me but once upto speed he came past and was watching Dave and Lazlow rapidly gaining as i got ready to stick my elbows out Was hoping i could hold Dave off until Lazlow joined in but realised i was on to a losing hand so seeing Dave go off was a big relief!

couldnt believe how fast Busi was, i was sitting on the limiter and you just breezed past

6th gear = longest
rev limiter = max
aero = min

thats all you need... gave me just over 280 km/h and nearly 290 km/h at the slipstream of another car. That killed the engine badly though, finished on 80 or 82% when I never have it lower than 90 at the end of a race here.

Guilty on the first attempt, not really on the second as the damn pitcrew decided I needed more fuel and I lost all interest. Was fun trying to catch you though

FINALLY managed to upload the whole thing. Hope you enjoy it
