Yeah I have a complaint, why the hell do I always muck up lol.
here is
the epic story of epicness, that was
"A Wednesday Night.... with Squeekimus"
RACE NAMBA WAN: indianapolisola indy race track
unfortunately i hadnt had a chance to really practice nor setup the car for these two races so i used the same setup for both, and looks like it was more suited to tsukuba!
in the first race, dave was lagging really badly with his car going side to side. i had gained a couple of places from the start keeping my nose clean into turns one and two, and on turn 3 dave went and cut back in. having taken turn three wide but carrying speed i attempted to go round him but his car butted me sideways onto the grass and at 90 degrees to the road.
i tried to collect it and braked as hard as the car would but inevitably i slid across the road and was dead last (or 2nd to last). the next few laps saw dave and another alfa in front of me which i manage to pass and continue with a clean race.
in typical fashion, i pitted roughly at the same time as everyone else (lap 8/9) and entered the pits really well, catching the pack as they were at the limiter. this meant i was close to everyone, and upon exiting my box, dave was in front of me and slowed me to 35mph LOL, so typical!
Dave is the mo farking devil i tell thee, got a pic here!
this meant the next car was a good 8-10 seconds up the road and with only a handful of laps remaining i put the hammer down and managed to catch rhy and joe. I passed rhy succesfully but i only caught joe on the 2nd to last lap. on the last lap, my tyres completely went due to my pushing earlier on, so to out corner was extraordinarily hard. using my common sense, i SHOULD have held back till the s/f straight but i took him before the twisties towards the end, and we crossed the line within 0.02 of a second between us!
great cleaning racing from joe in that first race....
WACE TEW: 'Scuba
Tsukuba's 2nd race after the restart was fantastic, i managed to gain first place after the first few bends and focused on keeping a consistant line, braking and accelerating points to maintain a 2.5 second lead over wordup who was being equally if not more consistant.
lap 2/3 saw immortal catch wordup and i have to hand it to both drivers, they had a fantastic battle and i only hoped this would slow them down, but it seemed the grasp of immortals alfa only spurred wordup on!
the race was similar up until a lap or two before the pitting window where immortal appeared to overtake wordup, so i decided to pit to ensure i had the best tyres for the duration of the race.
on my outlap, i messed up out of corners with the cold tyres trying to get some heat into the rears through sliding the back end out, which meant the following lap, i saw not only wordup on my rear, but immortal exiting the pits within tenths of a second infront of me!
An epic battle SHOULD have unfolded. imagine entering turn one, warmed up racing hards, wordup behind me by milliseconds and the infamous immortal right ahead with cold tyres fresh from the pitlane.
the first corner was a shambles of who could get on the throttle and take advantage of immortals tyres, but for me it was an average corner exit.
the cock up came in the chicane before turn two.....
taking the line I always had throughout the race which provided an almost straight line to brake until the entry to turn two, my right front touched the grass, sending me into a spin right into the wall

heartbroken wasnt the word and many naughty words were heard by ... well..... anyone with a 5 mile radius of my house....
from here (around lap 10/11) i decided to just drive consistently, slightly slower but keep my nose clean so that grabbed my
first virtual podium spot... my digital parents looking up at me with digital thoughts of "
DAMN our son is just too awesome".
it was a great race and have to say wordup and immortal were great! you two guys are both....
.... legends....
...... and duelling masters
we had a couple of shuffle races, but tbh i thing we should call them shamble races, what do you reckon guys

though i should actually get champ points for the amount of times i dodged you buggers
for now, i bid thee good day, and happy squeeking...
truly yours....
