GT2, first US slot, DR A-B lobby, 151 points for the win...
WHAT!???
What the hell am I doing here with about 3/4 of B-bar filled???
Door 16, obviously.
Okay, I was seriously s****ing myself in the pre-race lobby.
The practice laps before showed that Supra gr.4 will certainly not be a force to reckon with in this round.
My qualifying went not bad, with 1:42.1 I qualified 11th.
I just wished to hang on, not kill anybody and not making any serious mistakes.
The start went calmly, I even picked one place as someone went off track.
Whoever I was driving behind I just tried to follow (loosing time obviously) and be mindful of who is catching up behind (they did).
But, maybe the A-rated drivers were in this lobby because of a penalty or something, because some crashed into each other, some took solid penalties and at one point I found myself driving in 7th place!
Some of those I overtook due to penalties or going off track caught up to me without special problem. Decided to not overfight them because I had problems of my own when I couldn't make the perfect line through Senna esses I often got caught up just before the Lago corner. And in the later part of the race I found myself in exactly that situation. Bad esses and two drivers right behind my back, I stayed on the outside, did not swerve, braked early so the driver can overtake, but they braked early too and we were side by side on the apex of Lago, but the A driver did not left me any space and pushed me to the outside and it resulted in me getting 0,5 second penalty.
They both left me for dead after the penalty. I had good space behind so being in 10th I decided to bring it home.
But it was not over, in the final laps they begin to fight with each other for 8th. Clouds of smoke coming my way around most corners. The gloves are off. On the last lap I was already close to them (just over a second away) and they clashed seriously at Juncao (basically the last corner). One of them (the one who gave me penalty) was off the track and so I inherited the 9th place!
The disparity of DR in the lobby meant that even being in 9th place I got a DR bump (there were about 4 DR A drivers behind me). This and round 100 points for 9th? Yay!
I'll take it and not looking back!
I am already worried what the next lobby will look like for me... 😬
