Continuing my exploration of North American race tracks we head to Texas for this 15 lap GT3 race at COTA ,

Circuit of the Americas, unlike many modern GP circuits is actually quite an interesting and enjoyable track to race on with something other than F1 cars. It's a long time since I've driven the track in a video game, probably not since Grid Autosport on the PS3 which was not really a comparable experience. The circuit is as tricky as I remember though and a place where consistent lap times proved difficult for me.

Having qualified in fifth I gambled on soft tyres for the race and although they did start to give me problems by about lap 12 they managed to last the race,

The race itself was a case of trying to survive the first corner and to try and make a clean break from the bulk of the field, My plan worked after a fashion but the leader disappeared into the distance very early on and I spent a fairly lonely race once again, trying to defend my position from the Lambos who proved to be very fast here once they worked their way through the pack.

Although there wasn't a lot of close action for me, I enjoyed the race and think the result was about the best I could hope for.

This is a modded track and the AI behaviour was very erratic in places so perhaps not being around them for the bulk of the race was a good thing! They were set to 98% difficulty and I drove with Factory ABS and TCS only. All other assists were off, track conditions were set to "Green" and full damage and penalties were enabled,
