Default Epic Duel from Lime Rock

I hope this vid does it justice, one of my best races, hard to knock down to 10 min!

That one was close to making this topic read "What would you have done?" instead!

Nice video, some fun action toward the end, especially. Nice job taking advantage of his "brown stain" moments. He recovered nicely from the tank slapper & the OTE d/t the 'vets spin. I can't understand his line in the corner after the bridge, but it sure helped you make some time there!

I'm sorry to say that he wasn't so lucky on the next day....

It helped me to make up for his Turbo advantage....

Fun stuff Frank. Just goes to show you don't need a GT3 or something similar to have a great dice.

Thanks

Good stuff. Not sure why he was defending at turn 1 by taking the inside line when you were too far behind to attempt a pass. He was allowing you to close up there almost every lap, and you were able to get him on the inside when you passed him the first time.

Yeah, I was definitely playing on his shallow T1 entry, but some guys do it that way at Big Bend. Also, his car is at least 250 lb heavier than mine, that's how they equalize Turbos with our NA's. This is the one track where it almost works.

Sorry to see he bent the Martini car, was pretty. I think he would benefit from some help with his driving from what I see in your video... though he made a good save on the uphill bonzai move..

Nice, tough to beat a turbo, and a great lap time too!

I thought he was overdriving it just a bit, and definitely inconsistent. He did take the lap record away from me on Sat, but then promptly lost it all, unfortunately. A real shame, that car was really nice, although I think it will be back.
