Well, after my first races with you Geezers and after watching the replays, I reckon I should let you know my thoughts on this experience. I have not raced since the old GTR2 NoGrip days, apart from the Daily Races (daily idiot races) on GTS.
Yamagiwa 11 was going well until I noticed cars pitting. Bloody hell I had not even thought of that, looked at my fuel gauge and saw that I needed to pit. Where was the pit lane? Anyway found it but had slowed down too much and was slow in the pit so came out just behind the first 5 or 6 cars. Lesson learnt J
Nurburgring, first of all apologies to Geezer1791 on first corner of 5th lap. I braked a tad late. Not sure what you guys do in these situations but I waited till he was going again. (I was shunted off track a few races later but the other driver carried on. No problem with that, and to be fair I had to slow because of a car in front of me, but what is the way you guys do it in these situations?) Anyway, back to the race. This time I knew I had to pit. Spotted the pit lane a few laps before I needed it, all going well. Chose my lap to come in, did not take any rubber, and then (another lesson learnt), did not take any bloody fuel! Hit the no fuel button. Came out of the pits with .3 of a lap in the tank. Decided to park up and watch you guys race by. Once you all had passed I decided to try and limp round to the pits. Just made it and carried on, albeit a lap down.
So the next race, Mount Panorama. How the hell did I end up on pole? I have not been around that circuit since GTR2. Oh dear, this might be a problem. I had intended to sit at the back and follow you all round while trying to learn the track. Instead I was a mobile chicane, and to anyone I may have pissed off, sorry about that! (I do not race a lot of circuits and only in daily races so it might take me a while to get up to speed with you Geezers) And the biggest apology for the last corner on lap last lap, where I was dumping a time penalty. Thought I had the time to do it, wrong. I screwed Geezer up L Note to self; choose a better time and place.
Maggiore 11 was another track I have not spent time on so please excuse any slowness in the wrong places
Miyabi. I felt like the ball in a pinball table hahaha on lap 2. And the replay confirmed it J Worth a look to be fair. It seemed the more the races went on the more ‘competitive’ it became.
As for the last race Blue Moon. And yet another lesson learnt! And that is to remember to hit the enter button before I go for a smoke. As I sat back down the race was started, I am desperately trying to hit the enter button, but to no avail. L Sat and spectated though. What a race, great stuff J
Overall. ABSOLUTELY MOST DEFINATELY ENJOYED ALL OF IT! What a real blast and cannot wait to race with you guys again.
