Y'all must be masochists for doing 24h nurb races.
Yes... worst that can happen is that no one bumps me!
"Bump me"
"NO!"
Now... that is pure evil
*Raises a paw*. Erm...maybe?
Just finished the Green Hell. Holy whiplash Batman! I was in a mixed grid of A's, Bs, a couple of Cs and 5 Ds, with me qualifying P7/17. Really 7/10 since 7 didn't post a qualifying time.
I had a great start, and with the standing start I was in 2nd at the first corner. Unfortunately the car didn't handle *anything* like it did in qualifying, so I screwed up the first of the two tight corners after the 2nd corner. When I got back on the track I was bashed six ways from Sunday and tumbled down the list. Finally got going again and was held up by slower drivers, and trying not to hit them, getting rear ended multiple times till I got to the end of the first decent of the Nordschleife. I was struggling with the difference in handling but managed to more or less hold down my tumbled position. The 2nd lap was easier and I made some ground, past a couple of people, then got rammed again. Finished 12th with 5 seconds of penalties, and I wasn't the only one!
Somehow after all that carnage I still managed to creep up from 93 to 95 SR and even gained a few DR points. I really need to learn how to read Kanji, I have no idea what 95% of the pre/post race comments are!
Cold tires!
