Ford vs Ferrari @Oulton Park Post Race Data and Discussion

Well today I had problems of all kinds, first the game takes me out of the classification and I could not classify the last one it came very well and grabbing Jason and Joe when I made a brake error later and I barely touched Joe (sorry) we got out of that With a few scratches and started to attack Jason who had left a few seconds when I came cutting I happen again and break a rubber, I leave the pits with the car a little crooked but it was moderately well I got to fight for fourth place and about to To be able to pass it, Gilles approaches with less laps, he puts the car in a place that he should have waited because, as I say, he was coming back a lap and it was not necessary to go there, well with the consequence that he crashes me and sends me against the walls and again makes me prick And breaking the whole car from there on was a mess until the end, I greet Jason for the win, Joe for second place and Ryan for third place, see you next time, sds.

She is a foul mistress Ryan. Great race everyone, congrats to Jason and Joe. Had a pretty good race except for pesky mistakes on worn tires. Good racing with you towards the end there Bob, I have to work on not choking on crappy Goodyears lol.

It's been an up and down series thus far, for me. At Sebring, though the standings don't necessarily reflect it, I struggled with the car. At Imola it was absolutely hooked up. At Monza I bailed because a real world injury sort of forced my hand, but the car was not so great there for me either. I really enjoy the car at times, but I didn't prep much for this one because (1) I've been quite busy real world side, and (2) I wasn't looking forward to wrestling with the car like I did at Monza.
A few hours before race and I finally got some laps in and instantly the car was hooked up again. I grabbed my Imola setup and it seemed to be working fairly well. A few minor adjustments and it was golden, but I knew it was going to be a struggle to stay out front and be consistent.

I got a decent start and was out into the lead early, but I knew Joe had the pace (actually, most places, had a bit more pace) so it was definitely going to come down to consistency. Took a lot of focus to keep it inside the white lines and on the limit, but it was a blast to toss around and just seemed to be doing exactly what I wanted it to do. I lost a bit of time at my pit stop...seemed I was burned a substantial bit more fuel in practice than I did at race time. Finished the race with like 12 gallons still in the tank, but that's ok...car sometimes likes to get sketchy on low fuel so prevented that at least.
Joe, unfortunately, got pushed off the track quite early on so I ended up with a big (and rather surprising to me) lead...but, I nearly lost all that was gained taking it too easy and not managing the gap 100% properly. Gap or no, I was definitely on my toes and up on the wheel until the very end and the gap had came down to less than 2 seconds before a late mistake from Joe sealed the deal.

Fun race, and so enjoyable that I definitely want to spend some more time in the car before the next event, just because it's so fun to toss around.
Grats to others on podium and see you guys at the next one!
