Probably the most intense race I've had in terms of trying not to spin, which I did once! I was having problems with the corner before the hill up to the corkscrew in practice and didn't really think to try it out with 130kg ballast. So I only had 15 minutes or so practice before the race with the ballast, and in the end I ended up putting too close to the rear which made my back end step out in that corner and the corners after the corkscrew.
Sorry to Mole for spinning right in front of him and slowing him down, although on my replay it doesn't show you getting damage as you said.
You pitted on lap 12 (10) so I thought you was going to do a 3 stop, every 12 laps or so like 12, 24, 37 which I think you would have benefited from a lot more especially with the intial advantage you had from my spin. You ended up doing a 2 stop (3 stints, don't get confused
) like me, but yeah I could see you were struggling at the end of the your middle and last stint.
Was quite nice to see a bunch of gt300s really close to me after my spin which didn't really help me focus the mind to put in some good lap times. By the time I was on my last stint I had pretty much forgot about my hangover
and was putting in some really consistent times.
Thanks to everyone for the race, and sorry to some gt500s if they felt they were being held up by me. My thoughts were if I let you by, say the corner after the corkscrew, you might not be confident overtaking me there and well, it could end up in us both being damaged. So most of the time I just let you by on the straights.
Looking forward to whatever the next race is - not even checked.
edit: ew Monaco. I was suprised to see how Mole got away from me so easily out of the corners last night, so it looks like I'll be settling for 2nd or 3rd with 180kg.
