So, may I ask you what happened on Saturday? I was in the station just past the starter when you pulled into the gap in the wall. I was getting ready to check on you when you puttered off and took an administrative finish.
@Albinobluenardz I stopped because the engine stumbled and then the oil pressure went to zero. After I stopped the pressure came back up so I limped back to the pits. I didn't know it at the time but the diaphragm in the wastegate had torn and the oil pressure issue was just wiring to the gauge. The wastegate ruined Sunday too.
I really hung it out there a few times to stay in front. I knew i was toast on the next straight at approx. the 5:14 mark. The traffic killed the gap i needed to cover the front straight. Great drive E.
Don't worry, i don't have time to post the other 4 races - cough,cough.....:)
Great race :D
BTW, whatever happened to the two cars in front of you at the start of the race? They seemed to pull off a commanding lead in the first lap.

@TheRenalicious They both ran into issues. If you watch closely I go past both of them at different points in the race.

Cue some bad language from the red/black E46 at about the 5:45 mark... :D
