oh crap! Why do different classes need to allow you to pass them? He was clearly excited and found you a "good match" and just went with it. I just don't understand the protocol. Glad you're ok!
there are only 25-30 cars per race weekend split over 3 classes, Pirelli Pro, Pirelli AM and Shell, in that order of speed. I'm in Pro, the guy that i had the incident and no98 that let me pass are in pirelli AM. The rule/suggestion/practice is that cars in a class above are allowed to flash the headlights and allowed to pass as we arent competing against each other. In this case i wanted to get pass both of them to take up the hunt on the 3rd placed guy in Pro. So i was obviously in a hurry when the race is only 30mins. Shit happens
ohhhhhhhhhhhh that actually explains why he kinda "came out of nowhere" since you weren't expecting him to keep trying to pass you at that point! Thanks for the explanation and keep kicking ass out there!
good question, i had a good initial start so wasnt the speed that was the problem, maybe i did brake a little bit early, or some of the others got an even "better" start...
+Alexander West they left couple of cars length to the car in the front, floor the gas pedal a fraction before the green. I think #75 (David?)'s move to the right hurt your speed a little too. It was a messy race, I got hit by #68 from the inside at turn 2, which I think caused you some time too,apologies...Then he tried to take me out at turn 7...
Thats the thing i like most about the alfaromeo classic racing club, or other racings clubs who have less money, this rich fool just drives into you because he doesnt care about his car. Racing should be like this but with a bit more respect for eachother.

What are the difference as they were clearly (almost) as fast? You have slightly better Pirelli tires?
Pirelli Pro for the quickest drivers, pirelli AM for the bunch just below and Coppa Shell for beginners. same car same tyres...
LAMBORGHINIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
What car do you like best I love the p1 gtr looks and sounds great and Silverstone your 650 gt was wow
they all have their plus and minuses. P1 GTR for looks probably, partly as i great cheering for Mika Hakkinen in that livery...
Do you know who it was? Why wasn't he letting you pass??
Beyond words...
Wow what fun see you soon sir
Still trying to figure out how all of those cars came past you at the start? I didn't think they out-braked you?

+Alexander West oh and Ringo left the race after formation lap so gave #70 big gap in the front for better run off the line
