I thought 20 liters of fuel would be enough to get me to the finish, but I ran out approaching Parabolica on the Final Lap while running in 9th in PRO and you all know what happened then.My race report:
Endurance: Had a bad qualifying and got 12th. Good driving through 1st chicane, just some normal touches here and there. My Lexus was down on the straits but I was very smooth in the corners and with shorter braking distances. Very happy that I managed to overtake twice and the entrance of Ascari on the outside. Did a mistake with the strategy as I pitted 2 laps after the guys I was racing with (crelou, CAmikaze). So they undercut me and somebody even jumped me during the pits (GT need to improve the pitting a lot). Great race with the Nissans who were faster on the straights (especially acceleration) but slow in corners. With patience I managed to pass both of them with poor Camikaze running on his last drops at the home straight.
Sprint: Got off a slow start (must practice more) and was at the second half of the pack. Good and tight racing until Parabolica lap 2 where JehtroKing touched the real of Cami and the rest is history. Got to pit seeing Racingline losing the car just at pit entry and crashing it in the barriers. Not the best sprint race.
Both races 9th and i am happy considering the circumstances. Congrats to my teammate Litchi for snapping a great victory from the monstrous Audis.
I saw a big improvement on clean racing and I think most of the crashes were due to lack of control and ability rather than aggressive driving. I am really enjoying the series so keep it up.
Yeah, I ducked to the inside thinking Cam knew I was there until he turned in a we touched sending him back a few spots
After the messup on Lap 2 of the Sprint Race, I went around 1 more lap before pitting for RM's thinking I probably need to be on 4 stable wheels and hope to not lose any more ground that I did. But messing up in Lesmos 2 on the final lap put a end to that.
For Spa, I imagine the field will be going at the Total arch on the Old Main Straight? It'll make for a interesting picture of the field going up Eau Rouge.
