Hello!

Quick race update from yesterday's Special GTs race - 27th August.

Qualifying
In a nutshell - qualifying didn't go quite according to plan so I really qualified pretty much last in class. However determined not to let this get me down I felt I had nothing to lose so.....

Race
I thought it was only appropriate to do my usual trick and overtake one or two cars right from the start..
I didn't quite expect to overtake 7 cars in the first 10 seconds of the race though!! :-)

Sadly, after several laps my tires started getting a bit too hot and I started sliding around which allowed a couple of cars to catch up and go past me.
After that I desperately tried to overtake a white BMW M3 which was prepared to write his car off in order to stay ahead (watch the video - towards the end) - unfortunately I never managed to get past him and finished 8th (out of 15 cars on the day - I think).
Comforting fact is that I finished ahead of two Ferrari 360s ;-)

Watch the race video here:

Next race is on 15th September.

Regards,
Dylan
