I just read the recent posts and realized there is some need for me to appologize especially to Warren and Amir.
Sorry Warren for having bumped into you... and thus causing you to kick Amir off the track! --> Although I intend to stick to the golden rule # 1 by heart, this one must have slipped passed my attention!
So, once again sorry!
This was my third event, and also the first I hadn't prepared for (cause I did not know at first I was gonna participate).
... and I payed the prize for that (especially cause I've never been on any of those track until training time ... to which I showed up late).
Le Mas du Clos: Really nice track! Took me some time to get a decent run on turn 1 and on the last turn, but I liked it very much. During quali, where I could have hit my best lap, my AVM popped up sending my staight to the desktop and off the track ... rrrrh. But I think, I wasn't last
Then as usual, great take off when the race started, but again subsequent labor defending my position (damn thats hard when you are infront of the faster guys and are not allowed one tiny mistake ... that burns calories
. I don't know how you guys did it, but in the series of the hard turns, at the exit of the first of those, the red Alfa passed me from the inside big time... and I considered my driving OK (for my standards at least). Remains a miracle to me
Dropped back to last place, but got lucky when the quarrel of the two infront of me ended in my favor
and made me finish 8th.
Mondello: Again, good take off, but no long race cause at one point, while accellerating, my screen filled up with flames, and so did my car
Never happened to me before, and I still don't know why?!
But that was cool with me as I had gotten a chance to grab myself sth to eat and enjoy the rest of the race
Zolder: Worst race. Apparently no concentration at all, although I was 4th right after take off. But then, after dropping back to 10th place... one sloppy mistake after another. Last place after lap 3, poor driving and the resulting urge to end the race. But hey, I would consider it shabby, if s.o. ended the race just because he's not doing so good, so I hung in there and tried to keep it up.
Tom commented my slow driving after the last chicane... I did this on the very left of the staightaway intentionally to not get in your way and let you pass by! Cause I checked my RVW and saw that there was a battle going on
... none I wanted to interfer!
All in all, I'm not very content with my performance!
My concequence is not to sign up as tentative unless I know the tracks!
Although I won't be attending this saturday's race (cause I'm not ready for the porsches yet), I will be back for upcoming races cause it's a lot of fun racing with you guys!
BTW, Stuart, is it allowed to join the sever just a spectator? Cause, if I have the time, I would love to watch the races on Saturday! ?
