Sim Racers 4 Life-Lola T280 Season Round 2 Sebring 12hr- Results

[1959nikos]

Nikos I am sorry I hit you in the back was not trying to pass, you slowed more than I expected I was hard on brakes but could not get stopped sorry for that. lost spot at end due to error on my part. Going from day to night hurt my eyesight missed some marks.

Maybe I did slow more than I should but what I remember there is that I had the same impression every time I followed someone into hairpin, I felt they "slowed more than I expected". After hitting many at the back all previous week I learned my lesson, following somebody after a flat out straight into a slow turn you must brake earlier than you think you should

My eyes hurt too in the day-night transition, the worst part was the sunset, it makes tarmac black as coal :o It takes some time too to remember different look of braking points.

What I will remember most in this race though was t1 at the start.
I started last or almost last, I applied throttle modestly as I guessed there was going to be havoc there, Sebring is notoriously slippery at start straight, and I remember entering a big cloud of distruction braking and trying not to hit anything, cars miraculusly going away from me to the right and to the left like in slow mo, and when the cloud clears up, there is a stopped still car vertically in front of me and Im heading to his side with no hope of stopping. Poor guy, I almost felt sorry for him :

Got me a 13th place, not bad at all for my slow driving in Sebring, Mid-Ohio here I come :o
