Whew! That's a relief - I did come up with the right number of laps. I may redo GTS anyway so that I don't have the pit penalty polluting an otherwise mostly clean race, but I'm glad I get to keep my good LMP run.

Ditto exactly what Austin343 said. Both races done, but will probably run them again to make up for the AI who slammed me in the GTS. And to better time after much practice.

Bettered both times. Submitted times. Only one screwup. LMP. Coming out of turn 6. Right wheels caught some grass and did full 360 almost in place on the track and no contact what so ever. Lost small amount of time. Not enough to run 3rd time.

Will head out to Sonoma Calf. to see if I can wean myself off of AT.

 

[Austin343]

I've submitted both times, lacking the motivation to rerun GTS. The rest of my race was good enough to make up for the 25 or so seconds I lost from the surprise crash and forced pit entry, I think, but I'm not sure that the embarrassing amount of tire wear I was getting from hards won't jeopardize a victory. In LMP, I was consistent enough to give myself a chance at second place, but no pit strategy was ideal and I ended up giving up a few seconds on worn tires a couple of times. We'll see how it pans out.

I've done two bad runs at this, in race setup the Audi's oversteer is killing me especially around the 1st corner. I'm going to get one more run in but at the mo it's not looking good

 

[raz_10]

Two runs made one much better than the other but I still think I should have made a third one. But no time, submitting current times

 

[LancerEvo7]

I was happy with my run. Had a good pit strategy, and only one penalty; I had clipped the grass in the last turn after lapping the Sauber screwed up my line and I spun into the pit barrier. I only lost about 10-15 seconds on the penalty.

 

[oldmodelt]

Very happy that I finished under the 103% in the GTS class. No way I could get it in LMP. 1'40.00 additional drop? You guys must be using NOS. LOL. Probably could have done a different tire strategy in LMP. But improved 40 sec over first run.

 

[Austin343]

Yikes! I cut it a little close in both classes this time. I guess I'm lucky that ABud struggled with the Audi's handling and I escaped with a very close second place. Also, I forgot to send it in my submission, but if you're inclined to change my number of pits in GTS to "5 + 1 DTP" to reflect what actually happened, then you can do that.
