Well the first race in the GTx series for Novices held at Brno was a disaster for me, as well as slightly encouraging, if that makes any sense?. It showed me that I am still a real Novice at this, still I think probably the most fun part about Sim racing is learning, learning about setting up a car, driving it faster and then making the correct calls depending on the conditions. I made a few really basic errors and paid for them dearly - one was to have my radiator opening too closed on a hot day and had to constantly shift early to prevent my engine from going bang and then the worst of all was going out on soft tires which just became impossible to drive pretty quickly. Still I had fun and know that had I not made some elementary mistakes my finishing position of 14th could easily have been 10th, I qualified 11th, out of a field of 22 which for me is not too bad.

Jason, in the GTx race I believe you were the saleen that i overtook in the first 6 or so laps. I fought hard to catch you and you defended your line quite well. Was quite happy with that battle, but I noticed that your radiator wasn't open enough, as going up the hill you overheated several times. Either way I had a good bit of a battle with you, hope to see you on track again. |
