That finally was a nice one for me although I ended up as last finisher again.
In the beginning a nice battle with Tony whose 300SL was incredible fast on the straights but
remarkable slow in the corners (btw - the 300SL for me is the only car which does not fit to the rest of the field in GTL cause it's a car from the mid 50's which raced - I think - only in this early period).
After Tony dropped behind I had a short battle with Syd who came up strong and passed me.
After my first turner due to a braking mistake which happened to me more often during the race
I dropped behind Alex. In order to avoid a collision with Alex later on (my fault) I lost the car and fell behind him for around 12 seconds. Fortunately I was able to make up ground and pass him again with constant laptimes. Then my second turner but again I was able to close up to Alex again - I could have passed him but my next mistake occurred and I was again about 10 seconds behind him. Then I remarked that I was going out of fuel (which I had concisely calculated) I had to go slower up to the end.
I would have gone to a pit stop before last lap when I saw NRJ coming from behind during his last lap so I decided to stop an let him lap me to avoid the pitstop
That really was a funny one. Hope to see more of these. Thanks Tony for organizing all of theses events!
