I had a long day yesterday, but I'd like to thank everyone who participated, the race had the variety of strategies and cars that I was hoping for. These cars and conditions were certainly difficult, and kudos to those that tried a different car this time out. I know I saw everyone's struggle with Blanchimont multiple times but certainly not trying to gain an advantage, just hanging on and trying really hard, so no fouls there. There were few incidents but they were mainly people having a mistake or being caught up in someone else's spin, so agan, no issues there.

Spiner and I had a great strategic battle to the very last lap despite only ever seeing each other on track once. I know I personally had some great racing with Armaco (shame about his disconnection, he was doing well), FaustoAriz, and Bloodyboyblue. It was an intense 9p minutes, especially since pit stops cost so much time.

Will consider another 90 minute endurance after our season is done, no plans yet. But those that joined for this race, feel free to consider joining the full season for a race or two since wr have spots still available.

It was a great race even if I bungled my strategy. Annoying that I've missed most of the series but that's been out of my control
 
As always, thank you again for the series and hosting @The359 I can't tell you how much fun I have regardless of the place I come in. It is always a great time. Maybe I should have tried a different car but damn I love the Porsche so much. I just need to learn how to set up a car.

Multiple times I would get the blue flag on the straights just to pull away in the corners. I'm sure Team Old Man Driving can squeeze a little more out of these Porsche's. Looking forward to the next half of the season!
 
I took quite a few photos from the replay, this isn't all of them but some of the best choices. The best thing about an endurance race is the atmosphere.

Just can't believe the 3-stop strat actually worked. Everyone was struggling at Blanchimont but for me, the real thing was Eau Rouge due to too low ride height but thankfully I was able to finish, with only what, like 3 crashes.

Choosing the most challenging car, with one of the worst setups I've ever done, I really didn't expect the podium but luckily finishing third at the end was super rewarding! If it rained, I would really be sent to the shadow realm. It was such a good experience, I'll not be able to participate in the whole rest of the season but really want to take part in some remaining rounds!
