I was averaging low 34's I think but I can't remember now.
I was only pulling away from you Turbo at a slow rate, like 0.5 seconds a lap?
And I'm sure you have the replay if you want to watch one of my laps.
I watched the replay of race 2 this morning, and Aderrrm was really fast in sector one and three it seemed(not that he wasn't fast in the second sector but...) I think his best time thru section one was under 39 seconds. Its unfortunate that my teammate ketiux couldn't make it, cause when we were practicing he was clicking off 34 flat laptimes with no draft, so he may have had something for aderrrm.
My race 2 recap:
I finished 4 the in the previous race so I started in front of aderrrm, RT, and wardez. Going into the first corner I knew I had to be aggressive to try and get the lead early. So me and owens went side by side all the way throuh the Mercedes Arena. Exiting turn 4 I had the inside line so I got the drive out of turn 4. I then pulled a small gap on the pack, but turns out it didnt last too long. I led the first lap but going into the first corner aderrrm got through on the inside of me, then RT got sucked into the first corner and bumped me out(nothing terrible, and he did give me back the spot(which he probably shouldnt have because he was the only one that had a chance to run with aderrrm)). So with that slight bump aderrrm checked out, there was no way any of us were catching him. So after leading my first lap, I then starting lookng to see were RT was, cause I knew I was going to have to deal with him at some point in the race. He eventually caught up to me around lap 4. As for my laptimes, I was around the 35.3 - 35.8, but RT and I were bumper to bumper for pretty much the whole race. I know I was probably holding him up a bit, but by around lap 8 I made a small mistake coming out iof the first corner(little back end kick out), RT pounced and came up the inside of me in corner two, I squared him up and got him right back in corner three. (My thought was if I don't get him back right away, he was going to drive off into the distance) It was only a matter of time though, and RT got through, but I was able to keep him in my sights. We then swapped back and forth a few times, and going into the last lap, is where the excitement began. I had the lead going into the first corner, but RT came up the inside of me to try and overtake, I was able to keep enough momentum around the outside to have the inside line going into the second corner. Still, he was right on my bumper and I knew that he was stronger thru Warsteiner(turn 7) and onto the back straight leading into the chicane. So coming into turn 7 I hit that corner as good as I did all day but sure enough, RT was right on my bumper exiting, he then easily drafted past. This is where things went from bad to worse for the team BKUx3 driver(me!!!!) I knew I could get into NGK a little deeper than RT, but was undecided on where to make my move(my heart rate was thumping by this time) Thinking back on it now, I should have set up to try and overtake him in the last corner, since it seemed I could hold the inside a bit better and still get decent drive on to the home stretch. Instead, I totally brain faded and missed my braking mark by a big margin, and slammed into the wall. Giving second place to RT, he didn't even have to work for it:-( Thankfully we had built up a big enough lead over 4th place so I limped home to finish on the podium. A 4 - 3 for third overall, not a bad day for me.
Great series, great cars, and I really like the fact that we are using the standard transmission's. Can't wait until GVE, only thing is I ran a couple laps and my setup, that seemed to work great around GP-D, doesn't work on GVE, hopefully I will figure something out by Sunday.
I was saving my tyres a bit during the first race, and then on the last 4 laps I think it was I put in a quicker lap time every lap. Slightly strange lol.
. So I'm glad I didn't sign up sooner only to miss the season opener.
and B) What was everyone else running?
