Blimey, so close but in reality, so far
Didnt think the nissans would be quite so far ahead, dont think they've really had any kind of advantage when we ran the GT3's before.
Very surprised to end up in 3rd with TT somehow in front of me in the porsche. Tried to try and beat legzy but being nearly 4 tenths in front was unlikely.
In the race i wasnt sure about how well the softs would last so decided to try and split it equally. Never ran meds as the softs seem to cope for short stints. In the race i managed to keep with TT early on but he seemed to be struggling in the porka and managed to get past. Just couldnt catch Legzy ahead though we both seemed to have good and bad laps but the gap stayed around the 2 sec mark. I was expecting most people to start on full tanks and then pit for a short final stint, so i pitted around mid point with my normal plan, another stint of 65L and new tyres. When i came out i had H@L right behind me and Legzy 12 secs infront and i couldnt see XD during my pit i assumed they hadnt pitted.
I started thinking about letting H@L through as he was going to stop later and that when Legzy stopped i would be infront...
Turns out i was completely wrong
Only found out when H@L decided to make a move on me and then said he didnt need to stop. So then tried to pressure H@L as much as i could and managed to get back past and he dropped off quickly giving me some breathing room till the end.
So through gritted teeth, well done Legzy
Come back Pete you know this is your spiritual home!
I do wonder if we do many more fun races that people will forget when we start proper:(
Good to see those people who did turn up.
