Quallied 4th and was hoping for a good result but things didn't turn out as planned as we entered sunset corner for the first time I found the track full of Eagles and was unable to avoid the stationary car of A.H.
Thought I may have squeezed past him but it seems he drove off into my path so I ended up T boning the race leader (sorry if I spoiled your race Al
)
Amazingly I was able to drive away undamaged albiet now in 7th or 8th place .
The rest of the race was a ding dong with teamy Mike in his grass cutting fezzer and Vlad the impaler in his Brabby chariot . Lap 9 we were following Vlad into crowthorn , Mike decided a bit of grass cutting was in order, good idea , re joining in front of a suprised Vosb who had to back off and kindly also let me through up the inside , nice bit of soggy team work there Mike
I got settled in 5th behind Mike but really fancied my 4th place back, Mike wasn't playing and decided to keep the place for himself , I got up close a few times and even passed him , but then used a bit to much welly and lost the place again allowing Vos to re gain his rightful position as the meat in a soggy sandwhich .
By this time with all the on track action I was starting to feel a bit drained , escp. when i saw there was still 27 laps or so still to go and neither me or my car felt at thre best so I decided to go easy and try not to make any more silly errors , Kia is a track that rewards smooth driving but i guess i was a bit to smooth on the day .
Pity about soggie teamy Steve losing his Podium place (guess you blew it Steve) but a great race even if it was about 20 laps too long .
Grats to the podium and all who finished and commiserations to those who fell by the wayside
