Race report
Magny-Cours nGTx on Mar 20, 2010
Car: Porsche RS . Class: nGT. Start: 2. Finish: 1. Laps: 36.

Another nGTX season comes to a close and at a great track, one of my favorites.

Qualifying didn't go well at all for me, getting in just one decent lap but Aaron got a great lap in to take pole.

I got a very good start and since Magny offers the inside line to the second place qualifier I had the line into T1. Aaron kept a close gap for the first 4-5 laps but then I think he made a mistake and I was able to start opening up my lead.

At the time of pit stops I had about 27 seconds and took fuel and tires. The speed drop off was such that a no tire stop would be the wrong choice. After all the others had stopped my gap behind was up to 35 seconds. I opened up to over 45 seconds and as the race was winding down I got overly concerned about fuel and backed way off for a couple laps. Turns out I didn't need to worry about fuel.

Was a pretty decent season for me and I look forward to more nGTX, I just wish I could run the RSR more often since it is such a great car and the restrictions make it so I usually only get to run it once or twice a season.

Grats to NASRL on 2nd in team championship and Steve and Can Am and everyone else that ran.
