UKGTR Season 12 Upper Endurance (GT1/GT2) - Anderstorp (GP) - May 2

Tab turns the car labels on so you can see who is coming up behind and what position they are in.


Remembered doing some laps at the last event in the Panoz and instantly bettered my best time around Portero with it feeling abit less nose heavy. And ofcourse forgot all about it until speaking to Legzy 20mins before the race and on a whim decided to quickly change to running it, i was only going to do as well as i was going to in the BMW (badly). Huridly trying to get a setup that worked during practise and qually and managed a qually time much faster than i'd been in the beemer, but still behind Legzy also in the Panoz.

Few interesting moments in the race, with Matt and Pete and with Jose, bad luck MJ i managed to swerve around Jose's stationary car who just then started moving again!

congrats to ruskus for win the "thing" marcos.
last race i saw how fast marcos is in straights, so i was nervous in start, i was hopeing to make gap if the straight comes and this happens, but next laps the gap was perhaps 0.5 sec. and it was close to hold 1st position in end of straight, but then i come in other corner a little bad out of corner and ruskus comes better out of corner (should normal not happne with aston against marcos, not good from me, but i was always nearvous if i saw marcos close in my mirror) and he overtake me, then he was 1.5.-2.0 sec. in front any time, but then he make mistake or he had problems with lapping car (not sure) and come out of track and i was 1st again, i was now trying to push push push, but i did dump mistake in a corner and come out of track, bäh.
5 sec. i was now behind and this was end of story of the race, we was nearly exaclty same fast, if traffic comes sometimes i win a little but then i loose again a little.
after pits i think i was 6/7 or 8 sec. behind him and we was exaclty same fast again, nobody did a mistake and it was a little frustration to push and come not realy closer,
i had feeling that he drive with softs, it looks like in beginning of a stint he was little faster and in end i was a little faster.
i did a good race in anderstorp, a track i do not like much and i am not fast.
good drive from ruskus with the "bäh thing" car, it was a little not good that we was only 4 GT1 cars in this race, but i have feeling road america it will be more again, think this is much more popular track then anderstorp is.
congrats to podiums

...but i was always nearvous if i saw marcos close in my mirror...

  Yes, it's very intimidating. And when you add the roar...

I could have had a good battle with Gazza as we were similar speed but, I made a few mistakes including an incident with Legzy in the pits. I was foolishly pushing too hard to try and make back time on Gazza as I thought his stop would be slower than mine. Sorry Legzy.

The mistakes meant that I was never gaining time on Gazza, just loosing big chunks on one off occasions of brain fade.

The low turn out was not good. I hope things get better.

I am looking forward to Road America, great track.

Well done podiums.
