Bit of a wierd mornings racing, but still had plenty of fun.
Chose the Aston for Race 1, and it was quite a handful, very heavy, poor brakes, lots of power oversteer, and slow in the turns (didn't dare feed the power too early or it would fishtail horribly), but it had lots of grunt in a straight line.
Managed a reasonable start, with everyone trying to be cautious on lap1, but coming into the tight left hander, Dariusz got his Ferrari sideways, so Senad went carefully for the outside and I went for the inside to avoid Dariusz. Unfortunately, I was T-boned mid corner and spun off. The offender charged on without waiting, not quite how we normally handle these things in the GTL Club.
This put me last, but I had some fun making my way forward again. Managed to get up to P5 and was having a nice race with Szabolcs when the Server reset itself. Bummer.
Race 2, Zolder: Chose the Volvo this time, and it was totally different to the Aston. It felt very light, nice handling, lots of grip. It took some getting used to after the lumbering Aston, as I kept pushing harder to find it's limits. Had a long race with Bob H, chasing him as hard as I could, but no way I could consider getting past. I could close under brakes, but he had a tad more grunt on the straights, so we spent many laps with me closing and Bob going away again, depending on where we were on the track. In the end, Bob slowly pulled a bigger gap, and over the closing laps I had Bob M closing rapidly. In the end, I held on for P4 with a Bob each way. :tongue:
Thanks Stu for setting this up, pity about the Server on Race 1, it was a nice track too. :wink:
