Wow what an amazing race, ive done alot of free run races with vacaseg in all kinds of cars and I know he is damn quick and capable of being a top level LotS driver.
Round 1 Vacaseg lead it off, I was surprised by the cornering in speed of of his NSX-R and its straight line speed. I was able to stay close to him but I didnt feel like we was going at our cars full potential, I noticed vacaseg brake very early for one turn, I kept this in mind for a later round..
Round 2 im leading I figure I'll go all out and pull away from his nsx.. but that didnt happen, the night time is messing up my rythem slightly, and I noticed vaca had turned of his lights
he was able to stay right on my tail but I didnt give him any oppertunity to pass he closed the gap up tight in the last high speed sector on the long straights.
Round 3 and now im getting worried I might not be able to win this race, I stayed as close as I could to vacas waiting for the turn where he early braked previously but he knew what was coming as i moved my car to try and take the inside before braking he spoted me and blocked well, at this point there is only a few long straights and 2 tight right hand corners left i didnt think there much I could do here but stay behind and wait for round 4, but as we enter the last 2 corners vacas run wide from late braking and I was able to get upside of him and hold the inside for the last turn and now its a drag race to the finish, his NSX R was pulling faster than my M3 I could see him slowly edging forward but as we crossed the finish line the timer poped up "0.026" seconds ahead.. Phew! what a close race,
Great driver, Great car on a challenging track. looking forward to our race next week mate
