Race 9 - Laguna Seca
I had done a lot of practice for this race and I was feeling confident.
Got my lap time down to 1.37.1 in the McLaren 650s.
As I came in to this race I had 11 on the door and needed to be able to get in the top 3 spots to move the needle on points. The room offered 140 points for first place.
My qualifying went well, and on my second hot lap I secured a second place on the grid.
My strategy was S7/M7/H1.
At the turn after the first downhill things started to unravel a bit as I came into the turn awkwardly and bumped the leader, I was holding back not to gain an undue advantage and left the door open for the Chevy behind me to advance .. a BMW was bullying me into turn 5 and then up the hill we went towards the corkscrew... I was holding my breath as we were a tight cluster of 3 cars going in and I was bumped and went on the inside and off track but managed to stay with the group as we started lap 2 .... now I needed to focus and get back in teh game ... I knew I had the pace... Watch it !
The race edit show the first few laps that sets the stage for one of my best races when it comes to composure and comeback after a frustrating start...
