What a race! I still don't like Norsdcheliefe tho.
Once again didn't manage time to practice, yet, I just had time to qual in a nice 6th place.
BMW GR5 has more grip and therefore better cornering, the only weapon I had was top speed against it.
Navin was driving very well, despite my pressure trying to lead him to make a mistake.
As soon as we went to second lap my front tires were already with a high +20 wear
and running always
between orange and red (always been a handicap these tire's wear in CSL). Since then I began to lose some time
to Navin. Pit time and I was scared to see everybody arriving after me and back on track in front of me.
I add full fuel tank and had to change all 4 tires or I might not finish the race. I realized that the folks only had add fuel, because my pit stop went very well. So, back on track in 5th or 6th, can't remember.
Fortunately, the CSL with fresh tires is a blast and I managed to regain the 2nd position during the pit stop out lap. Sorry Henry and Goldtop if it seemed to be an agressive driving, but CSL was really fast by that time.
For what I saw, henry and GT were having lots of fun fighting each other.
Big congrats to Navin's victory with a superb pace and to Henry, and well done to all. It's always very tricky driving through rally stages without co-pilots dictating notes.
Cheers
