Excuse my language, but holy **** that was incredible.
I started off in 4th, with Wii just infront of me. I must of got a better start from the total sign as at the top of Eau Rouge, we we're literally parallel from drafts. He started to edge me towards the grass which to be honest I think was a little uncalled for, especially that early in the race, and thus resulting in me missing my braking spot as I was too busy trying not to say hello to the grass, and ended up letting pretty much every guy in the field past.
Took about 2 places back before Blanchimont, but as arriving there, there must of been 3-4 cars just flying everywhere. Not too sure what happened, but to my gains, I slowed down and gained them 3-4 places with Litchi just in front of me. Only myself to blame, I rushed entering the chicane, and I didn't realise Litch was about to enter the pit, so I got front right damage, nothing serious though.
For the first stint then, my goal pretty much was to catch Tim before lap 8/9, and pit and well pretty much rinse and repeat. I pitted around 5 or 6 times, roughly averaging out about 8 laps a stint if I drove like I stole it, keeping decent low 15's then slowly leveling off to 16-17s. Personal best being a 15.100 exactly which I was pretty chuffed at.
From the first stint being over, I pretty much repeated this with Tim, Wii and Paul passing every stint. Not too sure what Wii's strategy was, but it seemed pretty insane. On my 3rd pit, I completely filled the tank, putting me an entire minute behind which I thought was the end of my race, but the other guys must of done a similar fueling strategy a few laps later.
The last pit, I entered about 10 seconds behind Wii and the duration of his pit, he must of been refuelling. I exited about 5-6 seconds behind, and taking into consideration of his stints, I knew he'd be conserving his tires for near the end, so I tried to drive pretty much flat out. Must of caught him around lap 46-47 and we battled for first, but only overtaking on the Kemmel Straight. around lap 49, and the timer saying 1.59.20ish, I thought I was in the pot by taking him on the Kemmel Straight. With him sitting on my bumper throughout the entire lap, we got to Blanchimont and there was still no checkered flag, and with my fuel gauge already on red, I pretty much started ******** my pants..
We crossed the line, with still no checkered flag and my empty fuel tank, and exiting turn 1, I had him again, sitting on my bumper. We entered Eau Rouge but halfway up, the R8 just conked out so I pulled over, letting my chance of a victory just fly past. I was pretty pissed at myself to be honest, 1 extra litre and we would of made it as I think he ran out of fuel just before Blanchimont.. But yeah, only myself to blame.
Anyway, 2nd is better than nothing I guess, and with Paul placing 4th, that's some nice points in the bag for Audi Sport GT. Congratulations to Wii for the consistent racing too, played out very nicely at the end, and also to Paul and Tim for the battles during races.
Really, really stupid...
