Made some 50 laps in the Marcos, trying some desperate settings I never used before. Seems like it payed off. The car is awesomly powerful, so I was working on stability mostly.
Came 3rd in Q2, much to my surprise.
Sure enough Freq was 1 sec and sbg 0,6 sec faster, but they're from somewhere out there.
I wouldn't think it possible to accomplish this a few months back - and it wouldn't be without fixing the brakes. Again, thanks to all who made it possible. Though - this track was suited to Marcos, might be different elsewhere.
Stewprovo was close and only to my mighty engine was I able to stay in front. Marcos may not be good to catch others, but it's great to stay in front.
SBG was easing away and the gap to 4th was growing slowly, so I concentrated on braking oversteer - less than before, but still present, though it can be handled now and I hope to transform this weakness into advantage. Need more laps.
GTC were great, letting me by eagerly. One thing about Marcos is that it doesn't like going off driving line. Becomes unstable, locks up and drifts all over. I think Legzy had a scary moment in T7 and Lazlow wisely let me have the racing line in T1.
Two Legends had accidents, too bad. Speed differences were scary and it was difficult to judge weather to push or wait for the next straight. I was trying to do it safely, though, as I said - off line...
Glad you could make it, Colin. Hope you have time/will to race with us.
Bad luck SBG, you had 2nd place secured.
Grats to podys.
I did enjoy driving the Viper but its not easy.
Wanna try Marcos?
You might also consider it, Gazza.
Would be glad to have a session with you guys (or any) so you can at least decide knowingly. Marcos is much better now. And THE ROAR!
