Race report
VvC: Valencia on Aug 29, 2008
Car: Viper GTS-R. Class: VVC. Start: 1. Finish: 4. Laps: 20.

Well, I maybe loose the apex but only by a few inches, but that doesn't change the fact that both times you came from waaay behind and just dived into me like i wasn't even there in a gap that certainly wasnt there.
It doesn't really matter if you are a bit faster in a slow turn aslong as theres a car there you need to adjust your speed and show patience which you clearly didn't. I don't get it really since there was still 10 laps so plenty of time to setup an attack. But go ahead and enjoy the win if that's how you feel it should be done.
I did get passed once by a bit optimistic move in the last turn but luckily saw that coming and went in a little deeper, got a good run on the strait and forced the car in front to go defensive, then another good run out of T1, up alongside and faked an attack and he fell for it.

Didn't really matter that I was waited for, since after the bumps the car wasn't handling well anylonger with destroyed tires and couldnt keep the speed, so basically was a sitting duck, and I went slightly off in T1 as a result of that.

Last lap again abit out of shape and as I recovered and went for T5 I knew I was in trouble since Joco was strait behind and as expected...baaam 3rd spin of the day and dropped to 6th, bit surprised he didn't wait, but guess a good finish was more important to him huh.

Overall not the best result since the car had to speed to defend the lead at the places where you can realistically overtake if the tires hadn't been destroyed by those spins.
