tough race with big speed differences, which caused problems while lapping.
Sorry for standing on the track andi and sorry to Bob Whitwell, i wanted to let you pass on the straight !
Finished the race but could have been better, some accidents without damage and an engine explosion.
Kein Problem Bastian, to be honest my own mistakes were by far my biggest issue. Strong pace up-front. I had to admit when my provisional pole lasted a while I started to get big ideas. The time was already a pb for me and I didn't think I could go any quicker. But then the pace picked-up and I was suddenly 4th. Still I managed to improve by another half second to be a hair behind the fast one in 3rd. I didn't bother trying to go any better since I was sure I couldn't challenge Sam's time, so went oot on full fuel instead.
I used a high df setup for qual and was wondering whether to take some wing off for the race, but didn't bother. Not sure if those in-front of me reduced their wings for the race but after the start it was all I could do to stay in the tow...but I did have a few close calls into the final hairpin as Sam seemed to brake a good amount earlier.
After running a few laps in 3rd and vaguely staying in touch, I made a mistake that let Dean by, then made a string of them. Luckily the pursuers were some way back, which I took full advantage of by having a few more excursions. I think I lapped Clive about 5 times as I kept going off just after!!!! Strange to apologise to someone I was lapping but sorry for umm..getting in your way kinda, for a while there! It got interesting when that Matra appeared (who was that?), from Prib it looked like he was also being lapped but seemed to be making a fight out of it.... No worries though, like I say, made it interesting.
