First of all, share your experience of the Mount Panorama race you take part in. Was it good? Was it bad?
I just done my race and it’s so far been my worst GTSport race! Who at Pd thought using this track with damage on and no ghosting was a good idea?
I couldn’t qualify for starts. Every time I came onto the straight on a hot lap, I was over taking cars who spun coming on to it from the left hander downhill hairpin and then when I reach the chicane at the end of the straight, I anticipate a hit and leave it late to turn but will get smashed off. This happened not once but 3 times.
As the race started, I got off to a flyer getting 4th overtaking all the turn 1 rushes after qualifying 9th (good considering not 1 lap was quick). I’m at the end of the straight going uphill into the right hander, no issues until we hit the double left where a beetle comes up behind me, puts me in the wall and I recieve a 10s penalty for being forced into the car in front. This behaviour continues to happen for the first 3/4 Laos and I can’t get out he way of it, I’m literally a moving brake marker.
At he same double left uphil, on lap 8 I take it pretty well, no wall touches, no sideways, just pretty damn sweet! Only to be hit with a 10s penalty again? No cars were around and I didn’t touch the wall... was it really that well taken that kaz has to penalise me?
All in all, a horrific race! Finishing 7th overall so moving up 2 places. A horrendous experience that moved my driver rating from A/A to C/E by being hit! And not to mention when going down the straight, letting the car track in a straight line, I received a safety rating drop for a beetle hitting my side even though I didn’t turn my wheels!
Happy racing everyone haha
