The Club chicane on the warm up lap is so scary for everyone apart from the BMW's. Racing into it, on coldish tires, with the Mazda's and GR86's normally on top of each other is tough
Hahaha, fame at last. And Danny Cross3 is running the same IMSA MX5 livery as me!!! Double win. I'd never run Thruxton before I saw your video the other day and now I love the place. The MX5's are indeed like hornets aren't they? They sound like them and they're equally as annoying. At 7:07 😆 what was that guy doing? 20:32 somebody's lacking spatial awareness of a faster car approaching, lucky it didn't derail you.
Looks very simialar to my PCC at Daytona the other week, although that ended in a mass pile up into T1. Not sure what the official iRacing rules are, but are you not meant to overtake until after the line or is it the moment the Green Flag is waved? Good race though after the initial carnage. Shame you couldn't stick with P1 as I think you had a shot at this one. Not really sure why P2 fought so hard to keep the position. It's certainly one of those moments where the car behind is much faster so just let them go and avoid any drama 🤔
@nock-racing Yeah I was looking forward to having a good battle for the win but Mazda's had other ideas. I had the pace but just too far away once I got in clear air.
Mazdas took off before you did. The pole Mazda jumped the GR86 field. That screwed you over as you went from first to 4th and the 2nd car got away. You were never catching him.
That was really rotten lock at the start being swamped by those pesky Mazda's, that guy at the start must've jumped the start to get a run like that. You did really well to get back to 2nd place though, but without seeing the replay can't definitively place blame but it didn't look like it was your fault. It looked like you gave him room and he still turned into you.

@Deckchair_Racing Oh it's definitely fun on tyres that are not fully warmed up.

@smithp573 It really is a fun track that I'm surprised so few people are racing it.

The GR86 behind you annihilating one of the Mazda's you were fighting to pass on lap 7 was terrible. Looked like he forgot to break!
@Deckchair_Racing I think they just got a bit to racey trying to clear the Mazda's. Did me a favour though in removing the threat from behind.

@timroden6617 Unfortunately the Mazda's getting such an early jump really did make a mess of everything.

@celestialflea Thank you, yeah those Mazda's getting amongst the GR86's like that really messed up what should have been a great GR battle up front.
