That was good fun and the lovely sized grid made it even better, really proper multiclass feel!
Practice ealier in the day wasnt going to plan, I knew the default setup wouldnt be fast enough but as soon as I turned down the wing, it lost all balance through the high speed stuff. It was mega fast down the straight but lost all the time in the twisty stuff.
For the heck of it I tried the Nissan engine and boy did that change things around. The low power outside the turbos working range made it easier to get out of corners and coupled with some setup tweaks, it finally started to come together.
In qually I continued to set faster and faster times and ultimately stuck it on pole, but fairly surprisingly Marc
@wayphaxx wasnt far behind.
In the race I knew I would be in for a tough time heading down to T1 as I was basically a sitting duck. Lost a few position, and ground, but slowly started to reel Marc in. He then, conveniently right before we encountered traffic, made a mistake in T1-2 and I snuck by. Until he dropped back, we had a good tussle where I had to defend a few times. Great racing Marc, enjoyed that
The rest of the race was used to dodge spinning and driving-all-over-the-place GTE's and sometimes the lone LMP2 and also nursing a car that was becomming way too loose out of corners.
