Congrats to all the finishers (both of us)
Unlucky Tony & GT, you did both exit the game in the same second. I thought you must have been scrapping & come together?
Well how can I sum up that race, I qualified P1 & I finished P1. Easy really
Got out dragged by at least 3 cars off the line
but managed to hold nerve over the 1st jump & slide into 2nd. Was enjoying following Matt round, harassing where I could & being pressured by GT at a couple of corners he was very fast in
, when I clipped the outside wall on the exit of the last bend :'(. Luckily was able to go straight in the pits & repair.
Rejoined last, 45 seconds behind Bill but gaining at about 10secs per lap. Caught & passed him & another a few laps later.
I saw Matt exit out & I was somehow back up to 3rd & gaining on 2nd spot, hoping the chase would result in an end of race duel
But then was given an Easter surprise from Bill, I was coming to the end of the main straight, doing 150mph & in mid-air when I see Bill's car facing the wrong way & trying to turn round....
SMASH!!! & I was off up the embankment with fortunately only a lightly broken car (a bit tricky on corner exit but otherwise fine).
Bill quit & them few corners later Tony & GT exited promoting me back up to 1st
Just peddled it round to the finish for the last 6/7 laps, though my final bit of amusement was seeing SpecialK waiting 50 meters before the line for me to pass so he could finish without needing to do an extra lap, so I slowed down & started giving him a push towards the line making him sweat
before pulling out & claiming the chequered flag. Chuffed.
p.s. nice track that Tony, good fun in places (150mph jump for starters) & a real challenge in others!
