I'll have to agree with
@Stephen Vann in that it was probably one of the most enjoyable races I've entered in. The top 5 were so closely matched
@SRT DK Racing , Logic,
@filipino1234 and
@kossu (who I feel for after spinning early in the PlayStation chicane, it was great to watch the battle you guys were having in the early stages).
Constant pressure from ahead and behind at all times mainly from Logic and Fili right from the start. A few solo mistakes just running deep or having to catch it out of Tetre Rouge a couple times eventually set me a little back from
@SRT DK Racing and Fili for the first stint. I didn't really have a strategy as I only had some practice for pace the night before, so pitted when the leaders did on lap 5 but lost some more time as Gueven and Kossu pit just after slowing my exit out of the box. So I missioned on to reach back the 10 second gap with logic still only a few seconds behind after the first pit stop.
Sorry you seemed to suffer some damage
@filipino1234 as you pitted early for a second stop. With under an hour remaining I figured it probably wasn't going to rain, or for that long to have any effect so I decided to run my third stint on RH which hurt big time against SRT, pulling time on me and Logic getting passed me after running deep into the Ford chicane, but pressed on trying to keep in touch knowing it would reverse later on.
Pitted early off RH back onto RMs with 33mins to go and managed to squeeze out 6 laps to jump SRT into the lead for a lap, so so close with fuel my god there would've nothing left by the time I pulled up to the box.
SRT and Logic jumped me as I made my last stop. Not sure if SRT had damage or was running on RH but was catching him pretty quick after his incident. And I really feel for you Logic you almost had that in the bag man you drove an awesome race and kept me on my toes.
So very last lap I'm catching SRT almost a second a sector and caught him by the last two chicanes, but just too eager running a little deep and getting a shortcut penalty leaving me just 1.1sec behind him. So so close to my first win in this series but definitely the best one.
Sorry this is so long lol. Massive congrats to
@SRT DK Racing and
@Stephen Vann. And to
@Ayhancan1998 @xChris93_ and
@DrAug for Class 2 podium. You Group A guys were awesome with being in the slower cars and sticking to their lines, made it so good to pick where I could pass. Sorry to see you DC
@cedbel, hope you can make the next race.
Onto Suzuka!
