Fought tooth & nail with PR from start to half way (when I forgot to brake for t1
), but we'd traded placed about 5 times already & it was just truly great stuff. Move over Mansell & Sena
It was one of those epic battles. I believe we've achieved a new world record, 11 laps fighting at Monaco,
swapping places and we didn't touch each other once. Nice stuff mate.
Together with Nordscheliefe, I really don't like Monaco. I rather enjoy a really race in a circuit where cars can fight without walls and where we aren't doing rally stages for several kilometers without seeing another car, usually after half of the field quit because an excess driving that puts your car knock out.(or I would race Colin Mcrae or Richard Burns games).
But this is my personal taste and I agree in doing once a year....maybe once in 5 years...
one race of this kind, for the sake of the difference.
Once again thanks to Legzy and Toni for the hard work, trying to please everybody and giving us so many good times.
I was so frustrated at the quali session that I even thought to change to Need4speed or Mario Kart.
Anyway, with some help from the lads, I made a completely crazy setup (against all physics and inertia rules) and I even managed to qualified at 9th (well, after Jeff quit). What was amazing was that with the fuel added to race specs, the car felt better than before, as Mike's feelings aswell.
The race itself worth for the duel with Legzy who was unlucky and lost contact with me.
Excited to be in 5th, I began a chase to Clive but each time I was shortning the gap, Dick Dastarly and Mutley always pulled a wall against my car and I lose again the 2 seconds.
Totally happy with the final result then.
Congrats to Mike and podium, to Clive's consistent driving and well done to all finishers.
Hats off to Sandor that had pit, lost a few laps but continued untill the end.
Cheers
