Great result for McLaren , 2 in a row, all about the strategy. Was fun chasing Chris and Paul down after the pit stop, was going my hardest at it! Ended up pumping in a 1'26.0

I think it was the pearlescent paint that made me quick.

haha, strategy fail.

I was thinking 10 laps left, we were doing 28/29's on worn tyres ... and so you'd only be doing a second or two faster a lap - I thought we were safe not to pit.

However, Chris started getting a bit slow - 2 min 30-2 min 32. But then when I tried to take the lead, I'd wear my tyres harder and then he'd draft me and attempt a pass making me slower / making me work my tyres hard.

So I just sat behind chris waiting... really backed off nursing the tyres. I was planning on just passing him on the last lap and taking the win and then I saw Jamie's lights behind me approaching fast each lap.

I thought 'shit, ok - gotta get past chris and kill the remainder of my tyres trying to defend from Jamie.

But as I got past Chris and started making a break for it, I accidently understeered into the wall at the chicane DOH! Then I was just worried I wasn't going to catch chris by the end.

Ultimately, I should've pitted, or made chris chase me around for a few laps to try to pick up our combined pace. - but I knew i had left it too late

I only pitted because the 4 car battle was slowing me down and killing my tyres, I was trying to fend off sausage and keep up with you at the same time. I struggled getting in to the pits as you were up my arse and Chris was right beside me so I had to slow you down then jump over the curbs

I was actually disappointed that you both didn't pit on the next lap, I missed the battle , I was trying to do the 'undercut' and wanted to see if it would work , went wide in turn 5 on the outlap so if you and Chris did pit it probably wouldn't have worked anyway.

But the chase was fascinating, eating into the lead every lap then when I eventually caught up it was like taking candy from a baby, looked like Chris was trying to thread a needle

What happened to you Sausage? You were right there in the battle then you just seemed to disappear?

Probably, there the most gutless car I've drove in GT5 I think, theres no fun factor at all from them

Next race should be 500PP in any FF car. I want to take my green DC2 out for a race

i had planned to pit about half way through but just thought fuck it.. so i juat kept going, by lap 17 i couldnt turn unless i did full lock. lol the tyres died so quick after then. i was going to pit but it was a waste of time as id never of caught back up.

i actually thought it. was afun race.

Yea it was a fun race but only because we were in a good battle. If it wasn't for the battle I can't imagine I would've finished that race

its simple really, the faster the cars = the more precise you have to bo to be fast so people without a wheel have no chance in competing, the slower the car means that even the pad boys have a fighting chance at competing.

i prefer racing cars which actually take some skill rather than just foot down see what happpens sorta thing.
