WOW !!!!!
What a race that was.
I had company over and thought I wasn't going to race tonight, I even posted in the forum that I was going to miss it.
They left at around 8:25pm and I ran to my PC and to my surprize the track loaded.
I entered the server with 52 seconds left in the warm up session........WOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Then with all the guys agreeing Bilbo restarted the 10 minute warm up session so I could get some laps in before the race.
I want to thank all the guys agreeing to restart the warm up session......
THANK YOU it helped me calm down a bit.....lol
No qualy time was set for me so I started at the back of the grid.
Race start was FANTASTIC, I got off the line quick and made up a few spots and ended up behind Carrera.
He made a small mistake and went wide at T6 so I took the inside and passed him.
Now behind Coy.....I think Coy also made a small mistake (forget which corner) but I was able to get by on the inside again. Now the attack was
on to catch Juan.
I was catching Juan slowly and as I got closer it looked like Juan was struggling a bit (missing braking points) finally at T1 Juan went wide and I took the
inside line and he spun and crossed infront of me and I spun too, lucky there was no damage so we got on with it.
Now in 2nd and trying to catch Bilbo.......NOT TONIGHT!!!!
Bilbo was too fast.I came close but couldn't get there.
Juan and I were making our pit stops exactly on the same lap and I was able to get out first so I knew if I could match his times I would be OK.
I had built up a 14 second lead over Juan in the last stint till I spun and that enabled Juan to close the gap to 6 seconds and I had brain freeze for a few laps
and the gap went down to 3 seconds and stayed that way for the remainder of the race.
I forgot about trying to catch Bilbo and focused on keeping Juan behind me.
AMAZING RACE!!!!!
One I will remember
Congrats to Bilbo for the win and to Juan for his podium and Coy finishing.
C U ALL in Abu Dahbi
