It's all lost for me in the gear changes. Every change up just see him edge a foot or two on me.

Would love a DCT box ..

Although the extra 20 horses probably has something to do with it too
That was an interesting run. You got off to a flyer which I expect from an Auto box, your 60ft of 1.9s I can only dream of.

There seemed to be a big gap between us and I didn't think I could reel you in from that position, but as you say, I noticed on your gear changes I was pulling you back.

After I was having a showdown at the end with the remapped M5 V10, which I won 3-2 , somebody came up to me and said that they noticed when other cars were changing gear they slowed down, but mine just seemed to keep punching forward. When I showed them the DCT box, they accused me of cheating!

BTW, did anybody hear the custom exhaust on that V10 M5?
It was by Wortec and was being tested on the day.
