Well I can sum up my debrief in one word. Sorry.

Practice and Qually ran just fine for myself planting myself at p4 for the start of R1.

R1. I get a great start and fall into line behind the front 2 vehicles. I then pull a bonehead move and hit Stefan on the back stretch. I take full responsibility and am very sorry for the hit. R1 clearly was not going my way as I have a few more moments. Bad race for me and those involved in my bonehead moves.

R2 I am sitting on the inside of row one and get a great start again. I pull a little bit of a gap by lap 5 and choose to slow down as time attacking with a full paddock of cars behidn you is not what I was looking for. I think that in slowing my pace I through myself off and just forgot how to drive the track. I caused quite the mess in the s's and hope that noone is upset with me.




Overall I am completely sorry for my dismal driving last night.:frown:
 
Alright, time for my report. Let me get you all started with a little video I put together. This is what set the tone for the rest of the event.

http://www.trackdevil.com/watch/2b49434efe9e72f183de/GT-Sport-Lap-1-incident-at-Mosport-'77

Quali: As I told Eric during practice, I knew the Mosler had some serious pace in it. I managed a 1:16.500 and am pretty sure I could have squeezed another tenth or two out of it. This was with Eric's setup from the online files section. The only change was less fuel of course.

Race1: Got a decent start and stuck to Keith's tail into Moss. As I was afraid of, the vette's low end dominance quickly became clear coming out of Moss onto the Andretti straight, as Keith pull away with ease. Knowing I had Sam behind me in a vette as well, I decided to stick to the inside line, knowing well I could carry much more speed coming into the Esses. Unfortunately Sam tried to go through me rather than around me. Upon impact I lost the rear and as I was starting to spin I got hit in the nose by Sam, prior to going backwards into the wall. I had to wait and let on coming traffic through before rejoining the field in 12th. Much to my surprise I didn't find anyone waiting for me. :frown: I was really mad at this point and I let it affect my driving, resulting in a couple of mistakes. Despite having a rather banged up car, I managed to fight my way up to 4th. Then as I was coming across the line I was gifted 3rd by Eric N, whom was waiting for Glenn at the line. So, all things considered, not a bad result at all.

Race2: Starting from 6th on the grid, I got an excellent start, but had to tap the brakes, as those in front of me weren't yet moving. lol. Got involved in a bit of battle with Glenn, which was fun, but I was a bit to desperate to get past and hit him a couple of times as a result. (sorry for roughing you up a bit Glenn) It was hard for me to race close to others, being that I was clearly able to carry much more speed in the corners, but I would lose ground on the straights, making it near impossible to pass. Eventually we got a bit tangled with Blair and I ended up hitting Glenn pretty hard. Once Glenn got going again I went around the next corner and waited on Blair, as I wasn't sure what exactly had happened in T2. I lost a lot of time waiting on him and eventually noticed he had retired. I was now back down in 12th again and way down on the leaders. I fought my back and had a few good battles on my way. With 3 to go I was within sight of Sam and Warren whom were battling for 4th. I managed to get on Sam's tail within a lap and was gifted 5th as he ran wide in T3. I now had a bit of a gap to close to Warren and arrived on his tail coming through the Esses for the final time. With no time to attempt a pass I crossed the line in 5th.

Mosport still is one of my favorite tracks and hope we return here for some more racing soon.

Thanks to Eric for this together and see you all next week in the GT-Pro's. :smile:
