Race 1 was great to get a win but race 2 was the most intense fun I've had on track for a while. Gratulin almost pulled off the drive of the night though. Great racing everyone.... Was an awesome nights racing, and the more I drive the gt40 and play with setup the more I like it, would make a good season sometime I think Logged The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older Gratulin Moderator Hero Member Posts: 2159 Karma: 44 Re: Round 5 - Eastern Creek (Gardener) Thursday 23rd June « Reply #61 on: June 23, 2016, 10:51:19 PM » Yes. That turned out pretty good fun. Race 1 was turning out to be a hot lap session for me until AJ decided to pit and ended up behind me. I managed to hold him off for the last few laps. All I remember of Race 2 is slideways headlights in my rear mirrors!!!!It was pretty interesting between the BMW and Porsche. The Porsche had to brake early and gently but could power out of the corners faster than the BMW due to the ballast in the BMW. So I could hold off the Beemers but once they were ahead the Porsche couldn't keep up.

In race 2 I got turned around from behind, when someone else was starting to spin in front of me. That put me to the back of the pack, but I eventually caught up with the GT40's of Phil and Rob, and I think it was Humper in front of them. I managed to get on the end of the train, but only passed Rob after he spun. I certainly wouldn't mind a season of the GT40's. It was one of the options I put up for the Tuesday night poll.

Phil was on radio so much in race 2 trying to work out if anyone knew what had happened to you, he forgot about driving the car. Right up until the last lap flag where he decided drop the hammer.Also noticed in the results Phil seems to be everyones rival!

I think if you hadn't caught the edge mid race,, we would have still be in the same position at the flag. Logged "I refuse to be what you call normal."

I may have been on the apex but it was probably only through early braking and low corner speed in fear of getting it catastrophically wrong. I do remember seeing you with a locked brake mid corner and wondering how you were able to get away with it. Good work anyway I thought you drove it well.

Good work anyway I thought you drove it well.thanks Humper, and I took the gamma out of the brakes to direct linear, with the gamma set I just locked the front or the rear no matter where is set the brake balance, so a last minute desperation change between qual and race worked.I did like seeing the the lockup smoke mid corner, the trail braking made a huge difference, removing the "Fear Factor" Logged "I refuse to be what you call normal."
