Well, there weren't many of us tonight but it was fun nonetheless.
Race 1 saw a nice mix of cars lining up on the grid. I fancied a challenge so picked the Cobra, a car I couldn't even keep on the track the last time I tried it back in January. To my surprise I did quite well so I've obviously learnt something in the GTL Club over the last few months! My main rival for this one was Jacob in his GT40. I thought he'd leave me in the dust but it was actually pretty close for the first few laps. Eventually a number of mistakes saw me drop back a bit but not completely out of touch. Towards the very end of the race disaster struck for Jacob and he spun off, allowing me into the lead. There weren't enough laps left for him to stage a comeback, so I won the race. Weeeee!
Race 2 (v1) saw less variety... 2 RSRs (of which I was one), 2 Capris and a Corvette. I believe 'complete disaster' best describes the start of the race! Jacob on pole got a false start. I was too busy watching him rather than the countdown, so when he moved I moved and also got a false start. Then as we all approached T3 we went into sheep mode... Jacob drove straight on and off the track, and so did almost everyone else! The only driver that actually drove
around the corner was Ian in his Corvette. We all decided a restart was in order.
Race 2 (v2) was a random grid since we didn't repeat qualy. No false starts this time and no following each other into the gravel either! Jacob and Knut quickly moved ahead and for a while I thought I might be able to at least keep them in view. That idea went out the window though when in a moment of brain freeze I changed down into 2nd rather than 3rd and span off the track. I spent the rest of the race alone but enjoyed it anyway as the RSR was lovely to drive. Jacob got the win and I was promoted to 2nd as Knut had a game error in the closing stages.
Congrats to me and Jacob for the wins, and to the other podiums. (ie, just about everyone!)
