Plenty of stuff to say, so bear with me!
First and formemost, congratulations to everyone who finished! I know some of you were a bit alone on track by moments, so that's an even better achiviement to get the motivation and courage to get to the end of it.
That was an amazing race. Qualified second, a bit of battling with
@Craig Patteson who managed to pass me early. Then I was torn between attacking and stepping back to save fuel. As he said, we were a few seconds away all race long. There was no way passed, as he drove fantastic laps defending his position without losing much time. I knew then it would be all on strategy. Two stints with a full tank allowed me to do a fast last splash and dash, rejoining the track in front. That race really had everything an endurance race should have in it: strategy planification, consistency, traffic, tyre management... I think we could have benefitted from a larger grid, but I still really enjoyed that.
Also, I remember someone said it was their first race with these cars (sorry can't remeber who) and was worried to be in people's way. But I had absolutely no problem whatsoever when it came to lapping anyone!
Just remember, when you're about to be lapped, hold your line (or show clearly that you leave it), and release the throttle a bit. But you should never forget: even if happen to be a backmarker during a race, it's also the other's car responsibility to pass you cleanly.
Then, big thanks to
@Reik Major for sharing his setup, I think it almost shave off one full second on my lap times. That
parc fermé thing was weird, as I think most people could add fuel after qualification. Jump on TeamSpeak next time so we can help you more easily!
And last but not least, well done
@Dennis Phelan for putting such a nice event!
The car and track felt like they were meant to each other. I'll see you guys next time!
