S7 2008/02/23 Westhill International LRF [2x16]

[ESPNSTI]

First race I had a short and futile fight with Lonely at first.
After that, MXM was a few seconds behind me and slowly closing.
I seemed to have had a better pit stop, and from then on I started to pull away.

In the second race, I had a rough start and got pushed around a bit.
I had some short fights with Burnsy and Lonely I think and after that, it was a bit boring.

Heh, yeah. I overshot a pit square and had to back up into it

Pretty good races tonight, lot of fights with firefox. Very intense battle in the 1st race towards the end, my pitstop was a bit faster and I think ff made some mistakes because after my stop he was further behind, but eventually closed up and after a long fight took the lead last lap last corner.

2nd race was ok too, collided with lonely in the start which spun him around, but I couldn't avoid the small but fatal collision. The it was a lot of fighting with firefox, only a few laps in the middle of the race I pulled away. Very intense last lap once again, but I posted a pretty good time and with him making a small mistake I secured the win.

Tires in general were ok, but after 10-11th lap were quite warm, so every now and then I had to back off a bit and let them cool. Since the LX is light the 40kg (and fuel load) extra made a pretty big difference.

Good weekend overall, I quite enjoyed it!

Yeah 1st race was kinda fun Although you had 40KG, you kept a good pace during the race. Dunno what happend during the pitstop. I was 2 seconds behind you before i pitted. I had a hard time finding the yellow box... I think i lost some time fighting with Burnsy during your pitlap. And again, nice clean fighting, enough room, no contact, close fun racing I liked it!
2nd race was a bit harder. After a few laps I made a few mistakes, and was drifting a bit too much, so rear tires were quite hot. So i planned some 'slower' laps to cool my tires. When my tires were cool again, i could get back into the faster laps. And like the first race, I planned to overtake you in the last lap, but i made a mistake halfway the last lap.
I've never thought I would be this fast with the :lol:
