Think some of you (most of?) had a hard race tonight, but for me, oh god, not ever been in a race where I had to concentrate so hard for so long. Literally totally drained now, guh.
Aderrrm made me think I would have to settle for 2nd very early on, he was quite a bit quicker through the latter part of the lap on the wet tyre. I was wearing the full wets out very quickly, so wanted to change to inters as I guess the wets were overheating. I actually hit the wall just before 2nd karussell, which forced me to make that decision at the end of lap 1.
Inter was the tyre to be on for lap 2, but the rain was much harder in lap 3. Still, I had managed to do that extra pit stop and still catch aderrrm back up, we were 5s apart at the end of lap 3, when it was back to full wets. I think I was probably a bit quicker on the drying track if both on the same tyre, but not by a lot.
Managed to just about stay with aderrrm over the lap, when he then dived into the pits at the end if lap 4 for inters. I could see the rain had stopped but it felt too soon for that change, so I stayed out, not changing to inters till lap 6.
I think during that period aderrrm must have had an off because suddenly my lead of 25s (a pit stop) had jumped to 1min, then 2, then 3.
That made the rest of my race quite easy as the track started to dry, and switched to slicks at the end of lap 8. I then tried to put in a quick lap on the final lap, will have to wait and see if its good enough for the bonus point.
Anyway, massive post, sorry, but that was an amazing race, with the constantly changing track conditions, for me. I think that seals the gt300 title for me too, so i'm very pleased. Thanks for a great race all, plus also, thanks to people for being great when being lapped, and big thanks to owens for giving me a massive slipstream down the straight on the last lap, haha
See you guys for the next race!
But anyway.
