Ok I don't really know where to start, from a racing point of view I drove as hard as I could and worked really hard throughout the race to recover positions which were unfairly taken away from me. I felt as if I deserved at least 4th place on my pace but it wasn't to be I suppose. I'm sorry for my outburst following the race but I hope once you all watch the incidents I hope you'll see my point of view, and why I was frustrated. I try to drive as fair and as cleanly with everyone and give others respect, however tonight this was thrown in my face by a few drivers. It's not fair when I've been practicing hard for this race and people just decide to take my hard work away from me even when they are not involved in the same battle with me.
Safe to say that it's one of the worst GT races I've had in years and one which I don't think I've ever worked harder during to recover places, can't remember the last time I finished 8th lol. Tbh at the time I was thinking about quitting the series, but I'm not going to let that happen I've never quit anything in my life. But one thing I hate is unfair driving and being disrespectful. Also to prevent me looking like a hypocrite, I would like to apologise to Ayrton for nudging him a few times but you were lagging really badly on my screen mate, at the point where I would overtake you on the left then you would jump 10ft in front :/ Made it almost impossible to pass, but you positioned your car really well.
So incidents to report;
Lap 1 - S2 - I was hit by many cars which may need looked at but the main incident was caused by Andromeda hitting me clean off the track when I was well ahead of him. He used me as a brake and didn't slow to let me by or apologise after the race. This incident ruined my race as I had to change strategy.
Lap 33 - S1 and S2 - When battling for 2nd place with Nik we approached zplay to pass. He held us up and didn't less us pass easily which caused Nik to catch up to the back of me. Then after we passed him, Nik cleanly overtook me after slipstreaming me and we were side by side causing us to slow down compared to Zplay. Zplay does not lift off throttle and spins my car round completely, which entirely ruined my race after I fought back to 2nd... unbelievable :/
Lap 45 - S3 last turn - When approaching bus stop, Andromeda was slow on the brakes when I was behind giving me a chance to get side by side. I touch him slightly so I back off to give him the position, yet he pushes me to the right and spins my car. It didn't cost me any places but easily could've done, and totally disrespectful. Even boasted about it afterwards saying it was his fault, but yet didn't apologise... Surely this isn't fair and something has to be done.
Lap 42 - S2 - I was battling with Ayrton for 4th place after zplay had hit me off and cost me so much time, on the Kemmel straight and was making an overtake on the outside. But mustard goes in to corner way too deep and hits me off the track. Rich did apologise after it though which I appreciate mate
Since drop scores aren't allowed, I feel as if my race was heavily compromised by these incidents and would appreciate it if the stewards look into them. Great win though Immortal, and great drives by Aug and Nik. Just wish that I was allowed to fight up there with you fairly :/ Hope that the next race will be better for me, just a bit gutted atm as my practice race time would've been good enough for 2nd.
