In the spirit of the World Cup of football (don’t correct me) I say we kicked off our season with four races at Algarve last weekend.
The GT Sports are sporting mostly Corvettes. The first race however was taken by a Spyker! In the second race three Vettes took over the top three with Lazyacer leading.
In the open wheeler group a pit stop was mandatory with a change of at least 2 tires. Pitting has to be done within a pit window which was lap 6 and 13. Failing to comply automatically disqualifies the driver. This unfortunately happened to Visceral_syn. He pitted for aero damage outside the window and assumed it would count as a mandatory pit.
Some took the minimum of 2 tires but had to fight the car over the line, whereas many changed all tires and were able to comfortably race hard. The added strategy will make for some interesting results in the coming events.
USteppin and Lazyacer both took 1st and 2nd place in these races. In race 2 SUR6E was leading but got distracted near the end and found a hard left where he expected a straight. He spent some time in the sand but managed to get out and finish in 3rd place both races.
Here are some pics taken by USteppin.
