Race report
GTPC: Birmingham on Feb 03, 2008
Car: Lamborghini. Class: GT. Start: 4. Finish: 6. Laps: 64.

I'm happy that I kept a good pace today but still made one or two mistakes which cost me at least few places.

The qualifying was interesting because I had never driven in those kind of conditions. I pulled off two decent laps and got 4th place on the grid. Start went well also. I managed to climb up to 2nd place after few laps but then as I was trying to pass Dan who was leading, I did a too quick move with the steering wheel, just to get my Lambo inside the corner. This caused me to slide off the track and I dropped to 4th place. A bit later I did a stupid mistake as I sled a bit off the track at the last turn so I crashed and dropped down.

This made my raceplan useless because I had fuel for about 10 laps at the time. After my 1st stop I started to climb back to top6. I was really pleased that all of the nGT drivers gave room for overtaking by lap throughout the race, it was really nice! I had to make my 2nd pitstop so I lost my position again. I took fuel for 30 laps which turned out to be another mistake: It ran out only 4 or 5 laps before finish. So I lost my 4th place for good, but it really doesn't matter. I don't have the car restriction thing at Indy. :)

Well except for my mistakes it was a real blast to drive today! Grats to Rob and Tom for winning!
