@rustyMercedes Which one as I had 2 incidents at T1, the heavy one where it snapped right when I applied the brakes or the one a few laps from the end of the race?

Well I'll be working on a GTB (Berlinetta) series that I'm going to submit to @Furinkazen later in the year. (need over 30 million to collect the remaining cars)

You are still reserve. Seems right.

Perhaps I am not such a terrible driver then! Daytona I'm guess simply is not my track...I hate it(though I hated it before anyway).
That's too bad, because I may never be able to win there!

Daytona I am always around 3/4 seconds off. Look at fastest laps in the race results! Silverstone i'm in 2.03 mark (@FlyingFox may remember)... and Spa for instance is always one of my best circuits.

the one where you snapped right totally off line and into the barrier at the far right of turn 1, was absolutely brutal!
I was watching you at that point because you were 2nd i believe and catching yera in bunches, if not for that crash I think you would have won the race...
Basically I watched people based on the gap between cars, if it was close I watched the cars involved. The reason Fox was the best to watch was that he was closest to the next car the most often of everyone involved. This was the typical WSC race where there was a significant distance between everyone for a good part of the race.
And just looking at the pit stops in the final standings makes me devastated that I missed this race, a 1-stop race if you stay out of trouble...GT-O was wide open.
EDIT: And Yera I watched you for a good part of the race especially when you had heavy damage and I knew that you were thinking you were too far ahead to be caught and I could see that it was going to be close but I never thought it was going to be snow who passed you, thought it would be Lout but then he DC'd, and then Chris but then he went off at the end of the race. I said before the race that Daytona was the heaviest on attrition and that proved to be true, **** is it disappointing to DC on the first ****ing lap...

Actually I was kicking myself, because both times it was my own fault. Your maneuvers were aggressive, yes, but not over the top. The first time I just should have braked earlier, and the second time I was over-careful trying to stay to the outside of you and got my right rear on the grass on acceleration ... and off she went.
Anyway, it's all good since I got my second Rolex in a row - last year PT, and now GT-O. If I count the red-flagged Daytona-event in WSC V, which I was also leading at the time, it seems to suggest that Daytona is my kind of track.

After a couple of laps, your estimate looks spot on. Gear setup needs to be surprisingly short compared to Daytona.

Little adjustment. Going to simplify matters. To score full points you must have have covered 2/3rds race distance of race distance, class position regardless. Means that Daiba and Cami got just classified incidentally.

I got my second wind 2/3rds through that race and did not feel that bad actually.

I'm glad I didn't take too long during that "break". Swear I could've finished second or maybe even first if it had not been for that.

I love doing late-afternoon endurances with Europeans, you guys start to get tired out because it's midnight or after and I'm still going full steam ahead at 7-8 pm. Really noticed it at the end of VLN races.

@rustyMercedes I wasn't sure on the gaps during the race, only when I was near someone. I wasn't near anyone in class for the majority of the race, but I know at one point after sunrise I was going through the 2nd horse shoe while @Yeratel84 was going around the adjacent banking.

Indeed, after a whole week getting up at 4am to get ready for work, this past weekend I got up at 5am because of F1...
so I was pretty beat by the end of the race...
