On the 21st of April, it was time for the second last round of the GT3 Touring Car Cup 2012 season, 4 hours of Fern Bay. Vires once again would have 3 cars on the grid, #05, #16, #21 with #05 on pole and battling for the championship only 19 points behind the leader, spdoRacing and Genuine Racing 15 points ahead in the second place in standings.
Race start was a mess, with Miro in #05 having a collision with GTS leading to a Safety Car, which allowed Miro to fix the damage he got and not to lose lap or two to the leaders. Right after the restart there was another Safety Car. After the 2nd restart Miro proved to be the fastest on the track by almost a second, passing cars after another. After 30 minutes into the race Beniamin in #16 was in 3rd place and Támas for #21 in 5th place and Miro in 6th place 20 seconds behind leaders and just behind Támas. Soon Miro would have overtaken both Ben and Támas ready to start catching the leaders. Miro succesfully finished his stint in first place, followed by Ben and Támas.
Sorry but I'm bored..
I am happy to say that cruisers are not part of the fastest drivers of LFS. Just because you have objects here and there doesn't make you faster (and if you put a real LFS racer going through the objects, chances are they are there faster than cruisers too.) Real racers have practised (atleast the fastest) racing for year or two (some have raced for more than 4 years) and by cruising you possibly could not match the pace of these guys.
Also, I'd love to see the pace of the cruisers in your 24 hour events, I actually just did some research and it seems that all the links are not working so I can't check that really atleast for now..
Oh and btw, LTC doesn't organise the biggest endurance events in LFS. MoE, GTAL, IGTC, GT2WS, GT3TCC, annual 16h are the biggest. These are proper events with real racers with real competition where seconds matter and setups matter even more.
