EDIT: sorry for long story I joined the server, no-one else in there but it said something like 3/24 in lobby.
I noticed it said WET/RAIN and other horrible words
, so I Exited thinking I joined the wrong server only to re-join to the same conditions
,
F#@~ not a wet race.
Filled it up with Fuel and planned to put about 10 laps worth in during the pit stop as backup, only to forget to put any in
Was Just thinking about how long I should stay out for............Only for me to spin
luckily I kept a steady gap from Shark and eventualy pitted on the same lap, After being persuaded by a little slide I had at Parabolica
Came out (of pits
) in 3rd/4th,climbed to 2nd and by the time Id done a few laps I was Praying to the gods that whoever was in front was NOT on a 0 stopper.
Turned out to be the case of another of Blaz's famous 1 stints
. Must have been really tough on the same set of tyres.
Closed the gap on 1st place (Blaz) and started trying to work out how much fuel I was gonna need. (started using brain again)...............yes you guessed it, another spin :O
Realised Id need about 13 Ltrs of fuel and I only had about 9, so thought sod it, try and catch and pass Blaz then short shift and leave it in a higher gear to save as much fuel as possible.
Got passed Blaz, started my strategy, ran wide at the second Lesmo for trying too hard to save fuel, ended up with a mirrior full of Blza but luckily stayed just infront of him by going defensive. Nice driving Blaz
Went to the end of the lap with no chance of doing another 3 (based on time left) had enough to do 2 laps with very conservative driving but there was over 4 minutes left :O.
Crossed Finich line. Race has finished.
That was tough.........well done guys!
