The boy Diaz pulls another top combo out of his back pocket :good:
Was slightly quicker in the 911 than the Pantera, but the 911 (as was mentioned on TS by a couple of us) seemed to need much more careful attention than the Panty.
Race 1 in the 911 - tried my best to keep things neat & tidy and mostly succeeded - Carlos and then Steve were my targets for most of the race (apart from a brief Haba interlude as Horatiu recovered from his early turmoil with Ryan). Oddly enough the 911 for me seemed to get slightly better balanced as the fronts got a bit of wear on them, so I was able to be pretty consistent at my pace, but that was a fraction slower than the gaggle of DelTomato drivers in front of me. The "S" is a far more enjoyable drive than it's default big brother RSR, imo.
Race 2 in the Pantera - In the first lap or two, had a bit of a stinker with Lenno - he got a good run on me out of the left hander going down the hill towards the pits, and had the inside line, but as he cut in front of me to take his line through the corner, he encountered a much slower 911, and we had to do some rather more vigorous braking than was expected. The Panty, even though - like the 911S - it's more accommodating that it's default bigger brother, doesn't react well to sharp inputs like that. Unfort, we bumped, side to side, and not a huge impact at all, but it impaled him on the end of the pit wall. Sorry again, mate :frown: . After waiting for G., I managed to crack on, closing on a very smooth looking Jack, who jumped out of the way even though it was for position. I know you fear being a roadblock Jack, but if you're in a position on merit, don't be so polite for your own good that you compromise your race too much, mate :good:
Ended up chasing down Tom, and closed from 10sec down to about 4sec on no less than 3 separate occasions ( 1st time I touched the grass, gap went back up to 10 sec, 2nd time I came across slow traffic in the twisty bends section and had to back right off to avoid a smack, gap went back up to 9 sec, 3rd time I got it down to about 2 sec and promptly ran out of laps
)
Thanks for another belting event, Carlos :good:
It's probably no secret that we're looking at a GTC72 League for Season6 of the RDHGP - indeed Carlos's recent events may have even given the more Nancy Drew of you a clue of what cars we're looking at.
Based on these recent events, the GTC72 Full Field events we ran and the testing Carlos & I've been doing, it could end up being one of the closest groups of vehicles we've ever had.
