Quick race recap
Finally remembered to record qualifying lap, so the day started well, things got more tricky when
@Spinerkopin got a great run on me out of Eau Rouge/Raidillon and went for a pass down the outside into Les Combes, he was more than fair and gave plenty of room, which also meant I could hang it around the outside for the left giving me the inside for the final right hander while
@GOTMAXPOWER and
@Pigems joined the party.
Max then passed Spiner which was very good for Team Honda, they traded places a few times allowing a 4 second gap to build, which didn't really grow very fast after that, Spiner was really setting a strong and very consistent pace, the absolute best I could do was grab the odd tenth here or there every few laps, we both managed to get through the traffic relatively ok, but he did it slightly better meaning the gap was 4 seconds again
Towards the end of the first stint I'd settled on the idea of a one stop, I hadn't done more than 5 laps with fuel/tyre wear but I did know it was a long pit stop here, and when Spiner came in on lap 15 he came out just behind
@Drex124 and
@Pigems battle, I decided to watch and wait to see if either Drex would pit, or Spiner would get by, either of which would be the signal to come in which happened on Lap 18 when Drex went for his stop. I came out with the gap back down from about 7 to 4 seconds, but with fresher tyres barring no mistakes it was looking good for the win.
Thanks to
@Adam Barber as always for a really awesome series, and GG
@Spinerkopin @Drex124 @R1600Turbo @Michelin Man on the podiums, and
@Kermit_2142 for the GT300 win.
That GT300 battle was amazing, every time I came round it was neck and neck, and then watching to see who would finish ahead on the results sheet after the flag was mega tense. That last lap must have been epic! Looking forward to that at Suzuka!
