Grats to Daz (who was too fast for me to catch) and to Ziu (who was on another planet with 1:19's!!) .
After Ziu's unfortunate meeting with Dan, there were a few laps where I was actually running in second place. But, I had lost my front splitter very early in the race and a few more impacts had not improved the handling at all ( perhaps I was not hitting the barriers hard enough??).
Finally failed to make the Moss turn, stalled the engine and watched as Ziu sailed past to take 2nd spot
With a small grid and both Tony and Matt dropping out it was a lonely race, but I had finally built a setup and learned how to drive it to extract some decent times. If only I could keep all the bits on the car for the whole race I might have a shot at more podium places.
I also noticed the "rough" black tarmac on a couple of corners and although it did make the car feel unstable, I felt that it made the track very realistic. Plus, I actually knew when I was getting close to the limit through those corners as the rear end would begin to twitch and threaten to step out, which it did on more than one occasion !!!
