OEL Blancpain Series Round 4 - Silverstone 2 Hours
For the first 10 laps or so, I was able to stay within 1 second of the ET. I was on my limit, using all my energy, and killing the tires. For a moment I thought I had a chance to win, but it became clear ET was just pacing himself and had speed in hand.
I began to fall behind, I had used up the tires and was getting tired. I was first into the pits and ET sped away into the distance. In the clear air I was able to put in some good laps, and at about halfway through the race I took the lead when ET went in for his pitstop. It was only a matter of time though until ET retook first place.
After my second pitstop I did my fastest laps of the race. But it was all for naught. ET was too far ahead, and I just spent all my energy. ET did a splash and dash and promptly showed how much speed he really had. He was more than 2 seconds faster in qualifying and it was the same when comparing our fastest laps in the race. I felt thoroughly beaten and just cruised to the checkered flag.
