RyanRacer. Experience... Tonight I finished 5th in class, last , some 9 laps down. I'll mention more about you later.
Bad Q for me, had La Sarthe gearing all tonight. Was well on course for a 31 lap first stint and a 2 stop plan. Then I got damage from a tap against the wall. Pretty much more minor mistakes led to issues. Then about midnight an enormous rain shower. We had a shower before but this one soaked the track within 10 minutes. Had 5/6 cars a lap spinning out. Then half the field didn't have wet tyres
. And heyho, it dried within a minute. Recovering, approx 7am I think, I was some 5 laps down. Then I passed Snow on the tri-oval, and my game flashed start menu. Auto drive kicked in and off and threw me into the tyres, I bounced off and sent @
snowgt flying off in an enormous accident. Lost over 7 minutes with that crash, and just toiled away at end and took a formation finish with @
gtpanoz who rallied after an early accident to 2nd. @
DrifterJoe destroyed us all by 2 laps. @
jammy21 had problems in rain and dropped at least 3 laps I think. @
FlyingFox ran well but tiredness sent him downwards. And @
Yeratel84 crashed late on in GT-O, handing the win to @
snowgt !
As for Ryan... you can't learn these cars in a heartbeat. There is no "shame". Experience is all you need. Get a GT-O by all means (BMW available), but keep the Jaguar, drive it in spare time. Build your confidence. I'm 9 laps down and i'm not crying. But I am aching. Fiercely physical race.
Next week - Silverstone GP, 43 laps, 250k. Winner will be recepient of the RAC Tourist Trophy.
