IGN Auto Racing: Brno GT

Grats to Podium and Finishers.
Darren had a great start, i also think Nils tried to come up next to him but was 2 wheels on the grass and loosing traction and couldn't quite make it. Lost out to darren by T1 and proceeded to try find a way through. On Lap 9 i had my best chance and was desperate to get through as Thiago was just all over me at the same time i was working darren.
Unfortunetly on my attempt at coming through i was slightly hot in the corner and couldn't pull the car round tight enough leaving darren to get a spin when he tried keeping it tight aswell :(
Had to keep my head down, as he was upset but Thiago was still present and had to keep going.
Thiago fell away slowly as i was in clear air, and came in lap 16 for fresh boots.
Thiago stayed out and was no match for me after his splash and dash with no new tyres.

Thats all she wrote! My first GT Series Championship.
Been a long time coming.

Yahooo!

Grats on the win and Championship Heinz.

Stupidly used the Saleen at Istanbul so i was always going to be on the back foot here.

Calculated race could have gone to 32laps so had planned to top up with fuel at pit stop but noticed on XD after race had started that it was going to be 30 max. Quick calculation and i only required 105L and not 112L which meant as long as i could save the 5L over the 30laps i could save a lot of time in the pits.

Trouble was i was having to ring the neck out of it to keep up with the cars in front and by the time i pitted i was a still a laps worth of fuel down. Although i jumped 2 cars by not refueling my 2nd stint was completely compromised trying to save fuel and duly lost the 2 positions i gained in the pit.

After the start I was under all sorts of pressure from Heinz who I knew was faster than me, but I wanted to give him a race for it so I didn't make passing easy.
When he made his move I left him a couple car widths but he wanted a little bit more and there was a small bump, enough at that point to put me into a spin and drop me to 3rd. It was just a side by side close racing thing.
Spent the rest of the race in 3rd trying to close 10 seconds or so back to the front 2 but I couldn't do it.
Grats on the win and the championship Heinz.
