I had a blast this race
. Absolutely love racing around VIR, just a shame it does have a history of screen freezes.
It had been a while since I last raced here, so spent most of quali re-learning the track. Qualified in the mid grid and made a rubbish start thanks to my tall first gear. Was lucky to only lost a place to Bastian, but managed to claim the place back at the end of the lap. Proceeded to have a short battle with Andreas, before he ran wide at the Roller-coaster. Also benefited from Dean's spin & engine trouble which promoted me another place.
That set the scene for my race long battle with Fulvio & Alessandro. My underpowered Eagle was no match on the straights but its sweet handling made the difference through the corners. Lots of hard, fast racing and the time just flew by. A couple of laps from the end Alessandro ran wide on the exit of the Horseshoe. I cheekily went for the gap and pulled alongside, but as Alessandro went to take his line, the side by side contact pitched him into a spin
. Sorry about that, really enjoyed our battle up till then.
In fact, so quick was the race, I didn't even realise I finished when I did so just did another lap for the sake of it!!
At least Fulvio copied me
. Congrats to Tris & Axel for their podium places.
