The only time I drove the 914, I did two laps in the 1.43. Done before 1.41 and 1.42
with the Vette and Pantera. Although a bit slower, I thought that it could be a better
choice for me to pick the Porsche, because of the less weight and for being more smoth
on those chicanes and less tire eater.
I was surprised when for a few minutes I got the pole
with a 1.41 low after some tweak
with the power & coat and both antiroll bar settings. However ADE did an excellent job
puting the 2600 Capri in the pole and Baracus and Steve grabbing the next places.
Just before starting, I was thinking that the starting line could be more to the front, right
before first corner
because my 4th place would be in very danger with all the super powered
cars around me.
I did a very good start and after first corner, I realised that I was in 3rd
for two laps things were hard but very enjoyable (after 2 weeks without racing online).
Then, Baracus and Steve crashed and I got the lead.
With nobody in front of me, I could focus on my own driving despite Simon (was nice to
see you again racing with us)
sometimes close the gap, floating between 2 and 4 seconds.
So, at lap 10 when the gap to Simon were right on the 4 seconds, I misjudged the exit
to the woods section and hit the lamp post...or it was a tree?...whatever...
spun and my engine went down for good.
I was so happy to be back and I was with so much hope to give my first win to Prodigy team....
well, we must wait for another day.
Congrats to the fantastic driving and win ADE and to podium.
Excellent car choice, thanks for providing us to drive the less choosen cars.
Cheers
