Couldn't agree more that Gr.4 is a struggle. For me, it clearly shows the VW and Peugeot are miles ahead in that class. I think @Lurch and myself did the best we could to get some points for our Porsche team, being on the limit so much but just couldn't catch up @Mikepjbell and @JBR-Kiwi , even in a straight line with a tow. First race I felt great and super solid, just annoyed that I gave slightly too much room for a very late point for Mike to get past me, especially with just 3 or 4 quick laps left. You live and learn for next week 😄
Second race I chose to run Softs and save fuel so I didn't have to pit. It actually looked a great decision and I think I would've been in the race for 3rd if I hadn't had the most weirdest of spins on the fast straight. It was like a spin on a wet F1 race, must've touched abit of ashpalt off the racing line and it completely lost the car and into the barrier. 15 seconds lost at least but at the end I finished just less than that behind Mike. Never looked forward to getting back to Gr.3 next week as much as now! 😄
This in spades. Super to see Paul be so close to the pack after weeks of trying his hardest to get better and Nick is having an immediate impact to jump in the vacant seat at VW to team up with Kiwi.
I think those tracks with our cars are a recipe for disaster as if you make one simple mistake, the Nissan and Porsche are all over the place. I thought you had Nick at the end of Suzuka though and next thing I saw was the position switched! Did you say it was the penalty that dropped you back or did you miss the chicane again?
