Yeeee I won the GT1 class
while starting 5th :woop:
Had an old Vitus setup only and did practice/qual with it. Just seconds before race I changed a bit of camber, rollbar and toe. Worked out since in race I was much faster then expected.
Did some good laps in the beginning, did the pitstop with 2L left in tank and did a half stint. In this half stint I passed Tom very easy for some reason. Then he could just follow me and slowly my soft tires burned up and he was closing in fast.
But, for some reason he could not make a clean pass and I was bumped about 6+ times? Very annoying in an endurance race. Please do a good pass and not from 10+ meter behind when I already turn in.
Just as I wanted to pit for my short stint I was forced outside, which was also not a right pass.
But then pitstop and was free track again. Did constant laps and was surprised to find faster guys behind me. Then my last scheduled pitstop came and could drive to finish with exactly 3L left
I noticed some problems with LMP too. Some (like Kevin) were very good in just hold a bit and wait for a good moment to pass. Others just tried to pass whenever they felt necessary resulting in unnecessary doorbanging. I agree about the difficulties on this particular track, but still the LMP has to adapt! Glad the qual was at least seperated.
Although the driving standard was low according some, i gladly didn't noticed it where I drove. GT2 was good with their mirrors. Top job from those guys!
Also I hope next time there will be less nagging about simple things. We (RD) don't want to run illegal tracks. So other Donington's are not available to us. With this one going into bin, we can only hope someone will create a new/better version for rF.
Still I hope the majority had a good time. See you next time on track
