I’m amazed how Ade manages to wring such lap times out of the Lotus Cortina
Very impressive pace in the Cortina Ade, even if I had managed to stay on the track the first couple of laps I wouldn't have been able to keep up.
Race started well, missed the Mustang shenanigans at T1 & got into 2nd place, then threw it away with a spin later in the lap. Spun again on lap 2 & got stuck behind the barrier for what seemed like forever
. Rejoined with just Eifel behind me & then drove as hard as I could to catch up. Passed Tony as he was recovering from a spin & then caught & passed Burtoner & Bill. Eventually closed in on the battle for 3rd between Legzy & Phil & was with them with 3 laps left.
Had a great fight over those last laps, passed Phil but then got held up by Legzy's Mustang over the Mountain & Phil got back ahead on Conrod. Retook him on the S/F straight but then half spun over the Mountain & lost the place again. Caught back up as we came onto Conrod for the last time & got ahead of Phil again, but slightly too early as he drafted back alongside down to the last corner. We took the last turn side-by-side but Phil got a bit better run out of the turn & pipped me by just over a hundredth of a second!
Great stuff.
Congrats to Ade, Matt & Legzy.
