Dean (DL) is this seasons most successful BT11 driver so I have been on board with him at Opatija & Schottenring to see if I can learn anything. He brakes later than me, no, A LOT LATER, so things get a bit hairy at times but he's getting results, so...........
Practiced this one a lot & was getting nowhere so I did what your not supposed to do & changed everything on my set up all at once, radically!. Amazing. over 3 secs off my PB & the sweetest handling car I've had for ages. That qually time was no fluke.
In the race after the T1 carnage I followed Gareth & eventually we were behind the DL Cookie battle. I hadn't the speed or ability to join in. Gareth did & crashed out. They didn't exactly get rid of me either till I had a spin but then I caught up a bit later on. Boy was the dust flying I kept thinking they must have crashed but they didn't. So when I saw yellow flags at the cutting & DL burried in the wall I can't say I was supprised. Happy though
'cos I was 4th. Then Cookie pulled in at the pits & I strolled it home for a podium. The first time I have passed the chequered flag this season at the 9th attempt. Time for a couple of dinky doughnuts at the pit exit a quick "YeeeeHaaaa!" on chat & I left the circuit a happy GPL'er.
My best pro race drive ever & I had luck on my side with the spins not hitting anything. Had to come right one day & it just did!!!!!!
. Well done to those who finished & commiserations to those who didn't.
UMMM?? wonder if this set up will work at Vallelunga
