Won for the first time in GPL yesterday at Monza. Was normally placed 4th
and 5th but this time got a good start and was running 3rd till Hill decided
to hit the barrier on the second lab just before the straight leading to the
parabolica. Stayed at 2nd with Clark 2 seks ahead all the way to the second
last lap when he ***oo'ed the braking in the Lesmos and i was able to
catchup and pass him on the start/finnish line on the last lap. It was just
so F***g amazing :-)
I was driving the Ferrari with Miss Hine's golden setups and although it was
very satisfying to get the slide through the corners just right i could
never break 1:31 with it, once or twice into the high 1:30's but very
rarely. Then i tried the Lotus with the same setup and someone elses gearbox
and clutch setup and i started getting into the 1:30's and with the final
two laps in this race actually 1:29,85 and 1:29,15. What a rush !!! Will try
a race again tonight for old times sake, allready did the practise laps and
qualified 2nd, and then move onto a new course.
The Lotus feels loose exiting the corners and i don't have that much
confidance to put the pedal down early in the corners as i was with the
Ferrari, i know my times don't show this but it feels like a could go faster
through the corners still. The nose is very twitchy on exit and unsettles me
alot when exiting the corners, especially the first lesmo, very loose and
then normally on a very strange place on the road into the second one.
Geez i love this game, with my MSFF wheel it is the ultimate rush and the
rewards after plenty of laps and practise makes one feel sooo good. A
current F1 or Indy sim with the same game engin would not be to shabby
either :-)
