hi guys
for my first endurance race on that server
its 50/50
when i make my first lap on that track i was like " oh omg no grip here jesus christ ! " ( it was with the ford ) , but after fews laps i understood a little bit more the technicity of the track and i could do some 22. laps
but after i change the ford to the corvette because the ford have a engine strong like a cat ahahah
so after lots of practice the first lap was very hard because the car is more stable fan the ford but she's really turn and brake bad , you have to drive cleanly for been fast with that car ( i understand that rules just on the qualify ahah )
so now lets talk about the event of tonight
the practice was quiet nice , thanks to Sebbl who helped me a lot , sending sets... tips... ect...
so my rules for the practice was just : keep learning this car , i did fews qualify lap but not very good result ( 23.2 for a best lp during that session ) so i focus on doing race simulation
i did fews runs of 5-6laps with the meds tyres on the front and hard for the rear => the first lap are soooooooooooooooooooooo hard !lol
so then i finished it with a race pace arround 24.0 on the laptime ... not bad but could do better;...
so then the qualify start
and that was the " revelation " sebbl told me to change the radiator to 2 and have to drive cleanly and that was just = BETTER
i did fews laps under 23 and finished with a 1.22.2 lap time just 0.100 slower than the first ( sorry can't remember ur nickname ! lol )
so then i was very happy about this 2nd place but not so sure about my race pace
so then the race started
i was more focused on the rule to " be cool, no gay move and follow the leader "
i did a " normal " start but Sebbl and the poleman did a better start than me , i was 3rd on the first
then the 4 first laps was quiet hard with the cold rear tyres , we already have no grip with these damn corvette with soft tyres so i let u imagine with hard ... lol
so i could follow the 2leaders but at one moment i passed sebbl but on the left before the mini straight entry of sector 3 i pushed the throttle too much and spin a little bit from the rear , i could control that but that make me slowdown and sebbl was just behind , so sebbl couldnt avoid me so he "pushed" me a little bit and i finished into a wall... lol owned
( it was at the 10th laps ... )
so after my pit stop i came back arround 11th place very focused on the word sebbl told me on mp " finish the race " , but with another ludo rules
" finish the race with the best place you can "
so i passed some ppl to be at the 6th place with a gap of 30seconds from the 5th " stabilizator "
so i sayed " go ludo you have still 1H40mn "
so i pushed the best i can ( doing laps always in 1.23.7XX ) so i could reduce that gap a lot ( 1.5-2secs per laps )
so after fews laps i could pass him but on the straight of the end of a lap i touched that DAMN kerb and make me go on the right on the grass , and when i came back on the track ( that make me just loose 3 secs , so i was just behind stabilizator ) but i didnt really understand what happen when i came back on the track i was now 11th at 1laps from stabilizator ( you can saw on the result at my 31rd laps i did 2MN59 lap time... wtf?
so i was just disgusted because it was very possible to finish 5th after this stupid crash on the 10th laps ...
so now i was focused on finish that damn race
but on the 54th laps i blow up my engine on the straight... i was 7th...
damn
im not so sad cause i had a great race pace but now i need more regularity and more luck ! lol
regards.
thanks again to sebbl who helped me always during the event and sorry for failing during the race man...
