Road America 1973 Porsche RSR Race Reports
#6
We all did this same track in the test race at the start of the season, with the server set to cold and dark overcast weather. Driving it again this time in hot bright summer conditions gives a new experience.

Nice to get another pole position Smile. I still feel like I'm the under dog compared to Ed's and JPS's speed so it's nice to be now putting them under pressure Big Grin.

Race 1:
Ed and me had a good battle with Ratus following close. I was making it difficult for Ed, but he managed to get passed me. Then I had Ratus all over my tail. I found a bit of extra speed and managed to regain the lead of the race Smile.

Race 2:
Last week at Palm Beach I had 2 cars on my tail the whole race, this time I had 4 cars close on my tail. Ed, JPS, Ratus, and DC, Good Grief! lol. They were all hungry to get passed me, anyone could win.
The plan was simple, try not make a mistake. But of course that happened and Ed and JPS got passed after a number of laps. I was able to re pass JPS very quickly half a lap later.
There was incidences happening behind me so it was just ED and Me left at the front. Some how I put together 2 mega fast laps and caught Ed up very quick and overtook him a number of laps later Smile. He then took the place back later :O. With one lap to go, I took the place back from him Big Grin. He was chasing me hard the full last lap, just the straight left to the finish line. He gets a better exit than me and starts gaining and gaining on me . (# Que the Netflix dramatic music here #). The finish line still miles ahead, Ed almost side by side of me. We cross the finish line. Heart beating very fast. I managed to get over the line in 1st Big Grin.
Great race and Epic finish Smile.
Weldone all. CU in next one Smile
