Lap 15 clipped the barriers, lap 18 clipped the barriers, lap 21 full blown spin coming out of the chicane, fortunately only hit the hail bales, so it was only a severe problem with left front suspension, not a ripped wheel
.
Before lap 21 I had a good time driving behind and ahead of Dean, and behind Doni and Clive. No place to overtake, and we were driving nose to tail quite often, 3-4 cars, and no contact, well done all. After lap 21 I was almost 2 seconds a lap slower, so best I could do was try to keep up with Doni and Dean. Dean went away after finally managing to get past Doni, but I stayed respectably close to Doni until the end.
