Very sorry to hear your sad news Simon
Doesn't feel right chatting about our "hobby" with real-life matters like that rearing their ugly head...
...but here goes.
I played it safe with the 906 thinking the last thing I needed today was another engine failure. That and the fact I couldn't be at all consistent in the PantScarer. (and I don't drive Ford's out of principle).
Track seems far too bumpy for it and I thought if I could be consistent it would be better than being fast and falling off!
I was pretty determinded to not let my mind wander today... I was seriously feeling the pressure from Jeffster's late charge in the season so really focussed on not making mistakes today. In the end it didn't matter as I saw him leave at some point in the race
Then I just went for it but thought I was going to run out of gas - my mental arithmetic is cruddy so actually I had nothing to worry about but I spent the middle of the race short-shifting which caused me to spin and get stuck on a kurb (change of rhythm threw me not just the short-shifting). Eventualy it rolled down the kerb and back to the road, but I was facing across the track and didn't see Bernie as he flew past to take the lead and I touched his car a bit, sorry about that!!
Was gutted with my mistake but collected myself again and realised at this point I DID have enough petrol so I went for it again and to my surprise managed to get into the lead again (from 4th) in 3 laps I think
My heart was racing so much
A real adrenalin race. What a great race for the last of the season!!
Thanks for your virtual 'champers' guys... it's been really a great season
Huge thanks to Simon (and Dave) for organising the events for us all.... muchios gracias
Now... how do I start that Poll for P&G next season ;P
P.S. Nicely done Bernie on that fine 2nd
I sense a new threat for next season
