VIR GTC1 Battle for the Class win (video)
Hey Everyone,
Get time at VIR. Below is a video of the last lap of the 2nd Blue Sprint race at VIR. Let me set this up. Colin (the purple car) started in front of me. I made a mistake at Oak Tree on lap 3 or 4, which gave Colin about a 3 or 4 second lead. I spent the race of the race trying to get it back.
On the last lap it got interesting. The yellow flag was out at start/finish and turn 1, so I could pass lapped traffic until the middle of turn 1. I thought I was done. then, to my pleasant surprise, a car went off the track causing Colin to slow way up. Then the battle was on! We got to the last series of corners and I backed off, setting up a run on him to the finish. Once again a yellow flag at the last corner killed me and I had to lift more than I wanted and follow Colin to the finish. It was a great race. Colin ran a great race and didn't make any mistakes (like I did!) for me to take advantage of.

There is no fun out there to the left. Having gotten out there myself in a very similar car, getting back takes some time and effort. I'm not sure if it goes off camber or not.
