I made a tonne of mistakes in this race. The fact that I still won it proves something. Everyone can turn around and say, "Oh well I could have won if not for this...." or "if this person wasn't slowing me down...."
To be honest, the way the car was driving so beautifully, it didn't make a difference. If anything, taking out all of the mistakes I made, chances are that my 6-7 second lead would have been much much wider. As it was, I didn't make ANY pit strategy error or driving errors prior to the caution, and look how far ahead I was. With the Mazdas out of draft, I could run much easier and pushed much harder if I wanted to, and my final stint on mediums wouldn't have gone so horribly. Yet, despite the hiccup, despite the caution pulling everyone back to within touching distance, as I've said.... I got the win. I'm not boasting, just ****ing pleased that all my hard work, preparation, mental conditioning had paid off.
Mel, I'll gladly run the Viper at 450 bhp and 1270 kg, if you really think it's THAT overpowered. Though, maybe you still can't accept that I've improved a lot, perhaps? "Most underrated driver in GT." I believe is my current title. I'm starting to see why.
