Race report
Zhuhai 330K on May 19, 2007
GT Open (S5) series at Zhuhai
Car: Ferrari 575. Class: GT. Start: 3. Finish: 1. Laps: 78.

My 1st GTR2 race win :)

Not too much to say, won it on strategy although i almost didn't make it, opted to make the 575 1 stop, knew i could do it from testing but the fuel was marginal and i wasnt sure how the fuel would burn trying to get around traffic. In the end i made it, tried to end it 1 lap earler by slowing to a near halt as i was on fumes but crossed the line with a few secs remaining by mistake and had to go around another whole lap in top gear.

Had some minor incidents with backmarkers and a very scary moment with Tim in the 1st lefthander on lap 2 or 3.

Got punted off track once by a lapped porka that decided to outbrake me at the end of the straight but managed to keep the car running and not hit anything.

Anyways, thanks to all, was a great race, lets hope the new season brings good things :)

Edit: Just downloaded the replay to have a quick look at the lag, seems i owe Michael Chriss a huge apology, i am so sorry mate, i did not realise my lag was THAT bad and i was the cause of your off at the hairpin on the 1st flying lap. I am really sorry to all that were affected, my replay is so dramatically different, i guess i need to reconsider this series if i am going to cause issues with a ferrari that looks like its going sideways half the time :(
