[Tazzy-91]

Finally got a chance at 10pm to a couple of Spa races ( sooner my son learns to feed himself the better 🤣). Anyway, very little time for QT which I set at a very poor 2.19 in the Supra. As I expected, I had a bad race...I just do not like that car. I actually quit as I was getting frustrated with it. Anyway, back to the 911 and only time for 1 quali lap at 2.17.9 but definitely a lot more to find. The next 2 races were the most fun races I have had in a long time, really good hard races but clean. Started 3rd in the first one but got out dragged up to Eau Rouge by a Supra and backed out for both our sakes 🤣 was a bloody good race, I made it to 1st and even survived side by side flat out up Eau Rouge with no contact. Unfortunately I just couldn't hold out to win as those Toyota's are stupid fast. Happy with 2nd. Onto my last race and I started P2, this time I tucked in behind the lead Supra and pounced at the end of Kemmel. The 911 is so good in the middle of the lap that I was able to break the tow by the end of the first lap. Was cruising to an easy win, maybe 5 seconds ahead on lap 4(no way to tell in VR) and of course I binned it 🤣🤣🤣 anyway, it was not to disastrous and I managed to hold on to 3rd place. Delighted with that because I am very rusty, hopefully tomorrow evening will afford me a bit more time and practice 👍👍👍

@Jflijohn Wow, that was totally random, well things like that happen. That's why I normally try to stay near the middle half of the pack and then try to overtake on the last lap or two. That is one of my methods/strategies for getting a top 5 finish. What's yours? I hope I can gain a bunch of DR and work my way back up to at least a C level. It's gonna take some time, it won't be an easy walk in the park.

Hey there Chris.
Ya, that was random mainly because there was no aggressive driving or passes leading up to that, and that was on the last lap. I saw him take the guy out on the right and I thought I was gonna gain 2 spots, it didn’t happen.
My strategy is to stay out of traffic, either by qualifying well or pitting early, too many drivers take the agressive way out.
