Just want to put out a thank you to everyone who came by today for the test and congratulations to all who finished as it was quite an interesting race.
I'm not sure what happened at T1 on the first lap seeing as it took me a few seconds to reach the apron. All I saw was a pile of unhappy prototypes
so went around the outside. It set up a great early race battle with a Ferrari which unfortunately crashed out at the bust-stop chicane after a while, though they did get the car going again and fixed it up. I was quite surprised to see it still racing after that impact.
The rest of the race was pretty uneventful apart from getting lapped by prototypes. A few issues arose, one of the standouts being one where a prototype decided it was a good idea to pass me on the apron and then rejoin onto the oval, clip my front, nearly sending us both into the wall.
Please guys, be smart about your moves. If you don't have the overlap on a car, and there's no space, don't go for it. When passing GTs, make sure there is enough clearance between you and the GT before rejoining in front of them. Us GTs will do our best to make it easy for you guys to pass but you must remember, we don't have the levels of downforce or braking performance that you guys possess. Therefore, we can't necessarily go off-line in a corner to allow you guys to go by. I understand that you may be trying to keep up with someone ahead, or build a gap on someone behind, but keep in mind that we have our own race as well.
Not a big deal though since they were just a few choice incidents, the rest of the race was fantastic and I found the racecraft displayed by everyone to be very good. This is certainly going to be an awesome championship.
Imola awaits!
Also, woohoo I won GT!
