First of all great race, a completely new experiance for me, never drove an endurance race online.
Training was good, 2:15:1xx so I knew I can get below 2:14 coz I messed up the last chicane on that lap. But yeah I made a mistake in every of the qualification laps and ended up with 2:15:5xx, anyway I wouldnt probably catch that time of Zeroduck.
The start from 2nd, like always not my best thing
and ended up struggeling, starting od mediums and in the first corner I've hit a R8 (
@Thermite yeah it was me), I wasnt expecting another car there, and we did touch, still I was surprised we got dmg for that... That was barely a touch and boom right front damaged, and I said to myself if I go to the PITs then Im done too much time to lose, so I decided to stay struggeling and grabbing 2:16 times, wasting those mediums a bit, still it got me far from Zero but I did run away from the 3rd guy by about 10 secs. Then I've grabbed a spin, and lost bout 7 secs, came to the PITs and made my biggest mistake, seeing how it did end, this cost me the win.
I made a fuel mistake and yeah... it was too low, I did run out before the tires were bad, were scoring 2:16~2:17 on them still, so I could probably go for 3 laps more and then take mediums for last 16 min of the race but I did ran out of fuel. But yeah I had to go for another set of hards, and grabbed 2 more stupid spins costing me a lot...
Still Zero deserved the win the most, he was the fastest, and the chance I got , was justbecause some lapped cars wanted to race the leader.... and damaging him sending him for another pit stop.
@gurizzi great lobby, great race, and great experiance for me, I shall be "smarter" for the next races on how to work a strategy out. Pity I had little lags in the mid race, probably 16 ppl race from US isnt so good for my weak Polish connection ;D
Looking forward to the next race. I shall prepare a photo report if I find time for that !
