tesla uberman sleep

 


I come to underwater The dark above The light below I cannot breathe I cannot swim But inaction will lead to the end What do I do then When no one tells me no So I race to the last This is the start of the Death Drive Another disuse of the scientific method An insignificant defiance of arbitrary laws Empowered through entropy Determined by doubt For forward failure

I ran 44 races total this past year. At the start of the year I even did a simultaneous three different series in three different leagues. It was too much workload and my performance suffered. And then late in the year I had a 5 race consecutive win streak that culminated in taking the Racin Nexus Super GT Championship. So all in all a great learning year and probably my best annual result tally.

I didn't do very well in the final race of the year at Brno with the Blancpain GTs. I just could not turn on the speed I had in practice and qualifying. I was still up in P2 during the last few laps, but I couldn't defend my position against the faster guys coming up from behind and had to settle for P4 at the finish.

I also just signed up and sent my livery for the next event at Oldschool Endurance League. We will race F40LMs in Fuji for 3 hours. I hope to participate and do well in this upcoming race, if only to make up for my DNS in the previous round when my video card called it quits.

Racin Nexus Blancpain GT Series - Round 2 at Hockenheim

After the big crash at Watkins Glen any race without incident will be an improvement. I kept it clean this time and got 2nd place out of 12 runners and I am very satisfied with the result. I was fastest again in practice and got the pole position and the fastest race lap so I definitely had the speed to win this one. I just lost my nerve and couldn't turn on the speed when I needed to. 

Maybe race winner Marino Brozinic in the Ferrari also had the better strategy overall. He fueled up and nursed the tires all the way to the end without pitting while I took 1 pitstop and lost some time being stationary. I also had a poor start and lost 2 positions immediately. I need to make better starts otherwise all the work to get pole position is just wasted.
