Assetto Corsa Round 4 Mont Tremblant GT 1969 - Thu May 15, 2025

Qualifying was really close and I don't think I could have gotten much more out of the car with the setup I was using. I realised a bit too late in the session what my car needed, but it was too late to apply and qualifying was the first time I switched to low fuel.

Jumped the start again because my clutch was flickering, so I had to do a drive through at the end of lap 2. It only cost me around 5-6 seconds and it would have been an interesting race to try and come back through, but then the restart happened. In hindsight, I was very lucky that there was a restart.

Second start went well and I could tell I had more pace than Michal in some areas of the track, whilst he was faster in the last 2 or 3 corners. On lap 4 or 5 I had a big run on Michal into the hairpin and pulled to the outside, forcing him to take a tighter line that compromised his exit onto the straight. I then slipstreamed his car on the straight and went around the outside into the fast right-hander at the end and I'm sad that the stream didn't catch this as it was a pretty ballsy move. I pulled out a slight gap afterwards but made a mistake in one of the last corners and this allowed Michal back through. I started to close back up again before the stops, and took the lead again due to Michal's pitstop not working. It was fairly straight forward after that, although there were a few moments afterwards where I almost completely binned it due to pushing far too much. I didn't have high hopes for this race and it was hard to battle, but it was a fun combination overall. Congrats to @Michał Mazurek and @Laurent Londes on finishing on the podium.
