It's not a track I favour, Zeltweg. Apparently, I don't know the correct way to Zelt, despite subjecting myself to much dancing about, and the odd pirouette! So starting from mid-grid, was no surprise.
My desperation to escape the inevitable first corner calamatizations, was well founded, as clutterization commenced immediately behind me. After settling fortuitously into 4th, Phil's early misfortune led me to 3rd, and I decided my 'Zelting' must be improving! The high point came, as Ross wrong footed himself, and my Brabham waltzed it's way into 2nd. Though, after all of 200 meters, he inconveniently put his right foot down, and without further ado, made a quick step off into the distance!
Thereafter, I led David on a merry dance, for more than half the race. The gap was narrow, and helped by a couple of wobbly moments, he arrived at last, and all at once! We banged door handles rather harshly, and he decided to leave immediately. We were lucky not to get seriously tripped up, as I'd neglected to remove a replacement sound file, which made the Ferrari much quieter than usual - I'd expected much more 'clodhopping', before his arrival!
For the remainder, the race was quiet. Except for once misplacing a wheel, with the need to pit, which gave a persistent Bernie a podium spot. It was nonetheless for me, a better result than expected. So full marks to those up front, for the poise and grace they showed in winning!
