OLDSCHOOL CLUB ENDURANCE CHAMPIONSHIP 2023
ROUND 1 UNITED STATES | 3 Hours of AUSTIN
A good race for me; I started 4th and finished 4th but I did lead a couple of laps sometime around the middle of the race during the pitstop cycle. I ran a 2 stopper while the top two did only 1 stop. The car that finished 3rd also did a 2 stopper but had two drivers and they were generally faster than me.
It got really dark during the final stages of the race. There was no track lighting in this version of COTA. The temperatures dropped and we lost much of the grip. It was supposed to be twilight conditions for the duration but the timescale computation got botched.
So there I was, driving in the cold night, I couldn't catch the car in front of me but I could keep ahead of the car behind me. For a few laps there was no Outside World. I felt condensed into an action. A purpose personified. Vainglory racing towards the Vanishing Point.
