This manufacturers season got off to a decent start.

I joined the 4pm slot and i was in the same lobby as EERIEISSSS. Qualifying never went well since i messed it up. My first flying lap was clean but not that fast and then on my 2nd flying lap, i managed to take T1 much quicker but i messed up T4 and T5, which completely ruined my lap. So ended up starting from P12.

The race got off to a fairly clean start, but i did get bumped a couple of times from one of the Lambos behind me. Then as we were heading towards 130r, a group of 3 or 4 cars were side by side going though 130r and that caused some of them to be slow through the exit of 130r, which caused me to tap the brakes to avoid going into the back of a BMW, and that caused a Lambo to go into the back of me which gave me rear damage and the Lambo received front damage.

Then the BMW, a Lambo, and myself were 3 wide going into the chicane, and even though my entire car was sitting on the kerb, the Lambo and me made a little bit of contact and the Lambo spun around, which i was surprised by. Maybe they received additional contact from the BMW?

I was now in P8, and for the next couple of laps i had a good battle with the Corvette and 2 Lambos who were both on soft tyres. I couldn't get past the Corvette because it had good acceleration out the corners and good speed on the straights. I then made 2 mistakes which made me lose 2 places. 1 mistake was at T1, where i ran wide, which allowed the gold Lambo to pass me. Then i lost another position at the end of lap 8, because i tried a move on the gold Lambo going into the chicane, and i over cooked it and ran wide, which allowed the green Lambo to pass me as well.

I came into the pits at the end of lap 11 to switch from the mediums to soft. I exited the pits behind the corvette, Who had a 3 second penalty, and i also lost a place to the gold Lambo, who came into the pits at the end of lap 9 to put on the mediums. I knew i had to get past the Lambo immediately. At the end of lap 12, i had another good run on the Lambo coming out of 130r, and i went up the inside once again and this time i made it stick.

I was now in P8, and then i gained another position when one of the Lambos in front pitted. From that point i was on my own since i was pulling away from the people behind me. I finished P7 in the end, which im pretty with.

6M/9S for me in GT2 League, but the last lap sucked.

As did dying on lap one, but I did recover to 11th.
Tried the same strategy with a similar feeling. Started on 11 and could make use of some fights of the others. In the end reached P8 for 94 points...
Suzuki is an epic track but the esses don't like me :/
