Race report
Estoril Masters on Aug 16, 2008
GT Masters series at Estoril
Car: Ferrari 575. Class: GT. Start: 2. Finish: 1. Laps: 47.

Decent qual, was still P1 on my last lap but then Pablo made a blistering one.

Good start, could take the lead but I knew I had no chance on the strait since car was setup for stability and not so much straight line speed, so when Pablo got close after a few laps I saw no reason to go defensive since it would slow us both down, just aimed to get into a good rhythm and keep him close and put some distance to the guys behind.
It worked ok since gap wasn't growing very much, except to the guys behind. Lost a little time in some traffic, but still only about 4s gap at that time and getting close to pitwindow. Just before pits it looked like he had some problems on the last turns, maybe on his own plus there was a backmarker who looked like he was racing him lol, so closed right up and we pitted same time a lap later, thought even he took it bit easy coming into the pit so gained some more time there. I had started with 100L and only needed to put 30L extra in so when I got out I found myself with a 12s gap.
Car was acting much better now being some 25kg lighter I could drive faster and gap was pretty much the same for many laps, around 11-12s, but then jumped to 23s so figured he run into some prob.
8-9 laps from the end I came up behind a huge scrap with 3 Lambos, Brian, Christi and Gregg. Took a few laps to get past that, tho they weren't holding me up alot, but I wanted to get some free track and not having to focus so much on what they were doing, although it looked like a good fun battle to sit behind and watch :)
Last lap I slowed down to let the clock run out just as I crossed the line, still had fuel for a couple more laps.
