NXI20 said:In my defence, I had been out following our friend in the Alfa previously so I knew the sort of pace it had, but on this occasion I had a passenger in the car who had warned me before we set off that:
a) it was his first lap of the ring
b) he wasn't entirely sure if he'd make it round without being sick
Therefore I wasn't really pushing that hard as I know how hard removing the smell of vomit from a car can be

Watching the video (didn't watch it all), it struck me straight away that the Porsche driver clearly wasn't trying, where as the Alfa was giving it everything he has, so not surprised to see your comments at all.
You clearly could have had the legs on him as you did on some of the more open sections, but fair play to him, he knew exactly when to hang the gears out for a corner for what I could see.
