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. Before then, I was running just ahead of @GTP_SkyBridge after the pitstop but my being on RM's and some careful driving on my part was able to me the gap wider.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.
