Tried every Ford on La Sarthe today.
Yeh, see, ya doomed yourself by the time you got to that third word
.
OK, my race at penalty city. Another day at Cirque du Soieil. I tried a few cars, starting with the X-Bow. Bit too unmanageable and well, kinda slow on the strait. Tried the Evo Road GrB. Best I could manage was 242 I think. Cant remember what I tried next. Then I tried the 911. Being RR it was a bit of a handful, but manageable. I had it tuned to 302kph. That will do me. P4 on a bit of a mixed grid of both DRs and cars
. The guy in P8 was obviously there for a bit of fun, he was driving a Raptor
.
Well the flag drops and I'm off! No dramas at my end getting as far as Mulsanne in P3, and about half way down someone fired a red missile with a Ferrari badge! The problem with missiles is that they don't stop very well
. P3 again for me getting off the turns at the end of the strait
. By the next run at Mulsanne I was passed again by two cars. Again the F40 muffed the turn at the end of Mulsanne and up to P4 where I stayed till the dreaded "0.9 laps of fuel remaining" coming into the Porsche curves. I probably should have just tried to short shift my way to the end, but I pitted. I suspect the tyres may have been intact enough to finish, but I wasn't sure so I changed.
Two cars passed me as I came out of the pits. I managed to gain back a position so P5 for me. I was right up the rear of the F40 in P4 through the Porsche curves. He seemed to be struggling with grip. If I was one of those 🤬 I came across in my last race, I would have passed him through the chicanes, but I just sat behind him, happy enough with P5, given the results of my last few races
. I'm kinda glad I did. He came from P9 and was one of the very few to finish with no red dot next to his name. I wasn't one of those few
.
DR up to higher than end of business yesterday, SR back to 99
. DR/C, the journey continues
.
First race, started 20th and finished 5th, second race, started 13th and finished 5th. Both races 90% clean on my end, although a few clumsy corner exits and on passing other people when they are recovering. The first race had this wonderful gentleman in the SFR race car concept battling it out with a viper before I got to arrive with the both of them ghosted. He kept flashing me and the viper to give back the position or something, but ultimately finished with a 5 second penalty behind me. I regained all my DR and possibly a new DR # from the two races.
(My first ever Gr3/4 win that is not with Dodge)
. Finally one of the morons just crashes through me closely followed by another who finished the job by pushing me into the sand 
. I went from P5 to 13. I was having a fairly clean battle for P12, but got a penalty on the last lap towards the end. I bled that off and finished P13. I got an orange SR when the drongo pushed me into the sand.
