My time for Sarthe I is in.
New Parts for this race-
Oil Change: 50cr (sorry BH21 forgot to mention that in PM)
It seems I guessed correctly Sarthe I was way better than Sarthe II, in fact I only did 1 run and wasn't tempted to try another, which is a first for me.
This time I was faced with the following Group of opponents, RUF RGT '00, Callaway C12, TVR Cerbera Speed 6, TVR Tuscan & Dodge Viper GTS '99.
Race Report.
I overtake the Viper exiting Tetre Rouge and jump in behind the TVR Tuscan along the first part the the Mulsanne, and exiting the first chicane I repeat that for the second stretch as well.
The Tuscan and the C12 then rub each other up a bit exiting the 2nd chicane which allows me to drive right by both of them and into the draft of the 2nd placed TVR Cerbera for the drag down to the Mulsanne Hairpin.
It all gets very close coming into that corner, the C12, Tuscan and GTS are behind me all in each others draft, entering the Mulsanne Hairpin I let the C12 take the inside, and try to move far enough to the right to let the Tuscan past as well but its not far enough, and he rear ends me, which sends me into the rear end of the Cerbera.
Then the GTS joins in by then rear ending the Tuscan, which results in another (though softer) bump from behind from the Tuscan yet again.
However I exit the corner right behind the Cerbera and draft along and then pass it into Indianapolis, which puts me 2nd and 3 seconds down on the leading RUF RGT.
I push hard and have the gap under a second coming over the start line, and I get past it on the run into Tetre Rouge.
It drafts up to me I let it by, and then jump in behind it, only to duck then duck out and pass under brakes for the 1st chicane.
I then repeat that again for the second section of the Mulsanne, only I stay behind for the 2nd chicane and just follow it down to the Mulsanne Hairpin.
get a poor exit out of the Hairpin and only just maintain the draft, which means I'm not close enough to get by at Indianapolis, so I have to follow it through there and Arnage as well.
I then don't get close enough to overtake into the Porsche curves, so it is only under brakes for the Ford chicanes where I take the lead for good to win the race by just over a second.
That was all on my first run, which I think that went pretty well, I could probably go a bit faster and overtake the RGT earlier, but then I'd lose the benefits of drafting it, so I figure that will do and submit my time.
