Great last round race to finish off a superb first season of P&G
Qually was a close fought session right to the end with people swapping places all the time. I couldnt believe it when i did my fastest pB in the Z06 and still dropped to about 12th in the grid with a mid 1:10
Guttingly i was 6/10ths up on a lap at end with only a few corners to go and the session ended
Race start was brilliant with all manner of US muscle cars steaming upto turn 1. I gained 4 places before T2/3 and was in a close battle with Paul and a few others for the first lap or so with several place swaps.
The top 7 slowly but surely pulled away as for some reason my laptimes dropped 2-3 secs and could only put in 2:12's and 13's
Kept my 8th place for the entire race, fending off several tough challenges from Clive and a couple of others. But grunt counted and i eventually got caught and passed by some fast beasts.
The race end was nearly so frustrating as 3 cars all caught me on the very last lap and i faced the prospect of dropping outside the top 10 for first time in 18 laps
Fortunately for me in the ensuing 4 car battle, Tim ran wide on the penultimate corner and lost his momentum for that superb sweeping right banked corner, allowing me to nip back past and grab 9th or 10th? yeehaw !!
I could have run much higher if i had taken the cobra or the Shelby GT350, and maybe i should have seeing top 6 pace
but the z06 was a blast.
Great fun, great mix of cars, great track and good clean racing
