Took Eric's Mosler concept (Made to turn right - kind of a Nascar oval setup reversed) and applied it to the Vette. Very fast - like the wide power band. Running low 1:13's not near as far off-pace as I have been. Doesn't do the bus stop and turn 5 quite as fast, but makes up for it through 2,3,4.
 
Had a good time with this one. Good fast track for these cars (next time GP - no bus stop w/the boot!)

Race 1: Battled with Tim First part of the race... slowly crept up, and then got past in turn 5 when he pushed out and I kept it low. After that, could gain no distance. I would open ground through the S's, only to lose it mostly in the bus stop, 10 and 11. Finally pushed it a little too far into 10, and ended up in the kitty litter. After that, had a couple more offs - a little aero damage, and was lucky to come home in (5th?).

Race 2: Decent start but slowed for a crowded turn one and ended up 7th. Made it through the turn 11 mayhem ending up P4, then passed Alex out of turn 11 for P3. Once again had Tim chasing me. I was slowly creeping up on John at about 1s / lap. Again was losing time to Tim in the Bus Stop and 10. Saw Eric getting by Tim in my mirror, then promptly pushed it too far into the bus stop and collected Eric who had out-braked(?) me and was alongside. Ended up with a punctured tire. Got around to the pit - then got a massive FAIL on the pitstop. Was creeping around to try that again, and when trying to keep it out of oncoming traffic, slid back in front of Eric again. Decided to call it a race after that. Watched Eric, Tim and Koray battle it out till the end that. It was Tim's gonzo move I saw on lap 18 into the bus top to pass Koray - very nice move (Eric straightlined it to avoid).

So, while the results weren't what they could have been, I felt competitive for the first time, and had some of my first head-to-head battles and passes at speed. Looking forward to next week! (again apologies to Eric N).

(BTW - noticed in replay that both Tim and I were bottoming out in the right rear through the S's, need to notch up the ride height or throw in a packer).

Thanks to Eric & RD!!
 
These cars seem fun and after dropping connection at brands hatch I would love to join this week but I am best man at a wedding and it might not go down well if I miss it for a race. Have fun guys and i will see you all at KW.
