GTx: Zolder

Spun coming out of the final corner, and since I wasnt much of a competitor, I dropped out.

I think I finally lost interest in thisseries. Good luck the rest of you in the Championship.

P.S.
Tim if you were talking about the lamborghini driver, he went wide and got into the grass on his own.

Forgot about this event. Sorry for not unregistering and taking someone's spot. Won't happen again.

Too bad for the low turnout. That meant a very boring race for me.

Started 2nd, was 2nd all the time, didnt have any fights :(

Next one i wont be there i think, since i hate that track :)

Hope i made you sweat a ton Rob, good race... wish i didnt make so many mistakes in 2nd stint ..

grrrr Kent :P

grats to all who pitched!

Adsl prob...
Couldt unregister..
Sorry Tim..

LOL Heinz sorry, well not really :P

Chose the Viper and it/I was really slow.

Went to race session and temps were very cold but after testing last nite I figured my Med/Hard tires were the way to go.

Got a decent start and got past Pablo but coming out of T1 Rob was creeping along and I backed off way early, this allowed Pablo to get next to me. I then decided that 1 position just wasn't worth the risk and backed out allowing Pablo an easy pass.

Soon GP was all over me and I was struggling just to turn a 30! I got looe into T1 and George flew past me. Soon I found that I was running last and couldn't drive agressively at all due to lack of grip.

Finally 7 seconds behind Darren I pitted and changed to Soft/Med tires knowing the extra time taking tires was a mistake. Well some how after the stops were all completed I found myself in 7th. Managed to leapfrog Darren somehow and better yet, I was right in the battle with Conduruta and GP.

I watched Conduruta take out GP from way back and the next corner he himself went wide allowing me an easy pass. WOW 5th! The car was much better and I was soon setting my best laps but Conduruta was faster and kept catching me only to make mistakes. At one point I thought he would rearend me like with GP but he opted for the gravel trap instead giving me a nice 5 second breather.

He caught back up again only to find another trap. Claus caught and passed me when I had about 6 seconds to Conduruta but he must have either been on bad tires or felt pitty for me being a lap down and soon allowed me back by.

I checked the gap to Hienz and was shocked that it was down to 6-7 seconds and I started pushing hard again but a few mistakes and the gap was right back up to 9 seconds.

Much to my surprise Hienz made a mistake in the final corner and I got a cheap pass for 4th.

Grats to Claus and a OMG to Janko's pace setting fast lap.

Well ... Kent already wrote what happend so I don't have to do that anymore. One thing is bothering me thought .... ok, accidents happen ... fine. But why say sorry and drive on without giving the position back? I'm having difficulty believing that sorry in this way.

Pretty uneventful race from here. Had to take softs since the temps were pretty low and I got a warning in the inlap.

Last quarter of race was just cruising around, tried to keep distance to Kent but then he had his little mishap in T4 so had no choice but to lap him. But then I noticed maybe he could come under pressure from Silviu who wasnt far behind him but could also see the guys infront of him werent far ahead so I let him get back on the lead lap so I could act as a buffer between him and Silviu, plus never know what could happen up in front. I switched car cam when the race finished and watched the live battle between Rob and Heinz on their last lap and I had the feeling that was something that would end in tears lol sorry for Heinz but nice for Kent that it payed off I let him by :D

lol ... that damn lister just had no traction behind robs car, every time i got on his bumper, the car just didnt want to know about traction .. should have seen that final attempt at a drag to the finish line failing :(

That was a fun event. Got a good start and went into T1 side by side with Janko, ran a little wide trying to make sure there was room and got some grass so had to back up. This gave Heinz a good opportunity to take the 3rd spot.

Was fighting with Heinz in 4th, trying to find a way around his Lister but I couldn't make any headway -- dang this Lambo is slow on the straight, not even a draft helps.

Heinz made a small mistake and I was able to get under him for 3rd spot. He kept the pressure on, but I was able to gap him a little, but by this time Janko had checked out. I was able to keep the gap stable with Janko, but it would have required a big mistake by him to do anything about it.

Then my pit stop, was pretty good 30 sec range, came out with a 6 sec gap on Heinz which suddenly went to 16 sec??

Then I checked my DX and saw I was at 70% -- not good, still many laps to go. So I started throttle lifting during shifts to extend my engine life (downshifts were not the problem) -- it was working, but at the cost of lap times and Heinz started closing the gap fast.

When Heinz got to the 3-4 sec gap mark, I had to push again and -- sure enough my engine life dropped drastically, by the last lap I was at 51% and had to throttle lift again...ugh...Heinz was on me...last corner I went in slow to make sure I could get a good exit and praying my engine would survive a few hundred feet.

Heinz got loose on exit trying to get an inside run on me and I immediately throttle lifted to pass finish line at 48% (engine should have exploded).

Phewww...that was close. Great Job Heinz!

Congrats to Claus and Janko.
