Results and standings have been updated. As Knight ran 47 laps giving him 73% completion, I just went ahead and awards points for everyone. Coordinator's discretion!  When you came out of the pits Knight I could see smoke coming out the back and thought "uh oh" and then flames erupted and were trailing you bringing out the famous line. I didn't have squat for Boza or Tony so ran by my lonesome but it was fun all the same! Season One Finale at Road America on the 7th of April. Look forward to seeing everyone there. Cheers! |

I desperately needed to tune for this track. My Vanport tune was horrible here. Ah well, was glad for the pity points and on to the next round. |

Thanks to all that that showed up for the Donington race, it was a fun one. After many laps of keeping Boza in my sights and even overtaking him twice (once when we encountered a GT2 car into turn 3 or 4? and again when Boza had a minor spin exiting a hairpin)on my last stop I forgot about being hit in the back exiting the second to last hairpin and lost 31 seconds fixing the damage. If I was on the ball I would have not fixed it but by the time I realized that it was too late. Oh well it was still a fun race, Boza deserved to win as he definitely had a bit more pace through sector one and quicker lap times. As always the GT2 drivers did a stellar job watching their mirrors, well done everyone.
One thing I noticed in the results though, the fuel tank size differs on Boza's car. I checked one of the Penske P2's but had the same capacity as my P2 car, anyone know why or how this can be ? Boza was able to run a couple more laps in the race as well?

I am not sure but will check it out. Maybe there are bigger capacity fuel tanks available as options in the upgrades section.
Cheers!

I think I was misreading the data, what I was looking at were pit lap number's (not "L" for "Liters"). Low downforce, short shifting, good gears and early lift at braking zones (some or all of these) must have been the difference. Well played Boza, well played |
