Gathering of Tweakers Endurance Series

5

Jonathan Butel  has decided it would be a good idea if i help him with this mini endurance series

i was convinced of this on Thursday 20th and the race is Saturday 22nd November!

Normally this would be fine except he has chosen to race the Ford GT.

This is the most unloved car on iRacing at the moment as it was released unfinished and drives like no other GT3 car we have.

It is underpowered and full of surprises.

We will be running under Jonathan’s Team which is “Spirit of Le Mans”

Jonathan will do the first hour, then i will do the next and Jonathan will finish hopefully.

This is our car painted by Jonathan himself.

 Race Report

Ok then, that did not go too bad at all really,

Well Jonathan got us qualified in 28th place out of 40 cars with a 2:01.589

Pole was set by Joe Junior of Radicals with a time of 2:00.019

All we had to do was put in the laps and keep clean and out of trouble, let the fast guys past and carry on.

JB did the first 30 laps before he needed to pit and swap with me and he did it with no incidents recorded, some one did touch our car but was a 0 X

So we changed drivers and tyres, filled her up and off i went for my stint, car felt ok and i had some space to get into it.

Some one hit my rear end but again it was a 0 X and turns out only 7 secs worth of damage at the next stop.

I did have 3 off tracks in my stint, which does not make my day, but it is better than a spin which i was expecting 🙂

Stint went as planed and i pitted on lap 60, and swapped back to JB to take the last stint

1 off track for jb on this stint, but other wise all went well, the race ended on lap 87 and we ended up in a very happy 15th place

So ended in 15th place with a straight car, job done i would say.

    well I couldn’t keep track of what was going on !!!

    they change cameras and views far to often….

    Sebring looks a nightmare to be honest, don’t think I’d manage 3 laps never mind 3hrs so well done on the 15th place in the Ford GT you were getting applause for using it 🙂

    nice 1 JB and AG

    cheers

    Hay Sumch

    Yeah they set the camera to most exciting or crashes but it can move about a bit.

    Yeah 15th is a good place and very unexpected, i was expecting 30th and JB was expecting 25 lol, so 15 makes us very happy 🙂

    Just don’t expect it next time lol

    Doing 6x12hr shifts a week for the next 5 weeks, approx. 200hrs overtime, so I’ll maybe looking for some build advice in the New Year 😉
