Well, I suppose you are bound to have some of these in your CV, still this must be the most disappointing race I have driven so far. Lead from flag to well into the last lap, then spun and let Ronnie run away with it. I soon realised that there had been some mayhem at L1, and when I saw Hristo out and Ronnie well behind, my two main contenders in qually, I thought I had it in the bag, just needed to bridge 50 rather dull minutes avoiding mistakes or engine blows. Well, that was some misjudgement indeed. First Bob reeled me in and fortunately (for me) managed to spun it just after he had passed. Tough luck there Bob, but believe me I managed to do worse than that
. Then it was Ronnie's turn, who took advantage of my cautious (napping
?) pace in the last 10 laps, by the time he had reached me my tires had gone back into the blue, temp wise, and there was no way to make the car turn in those slow 1st gear corners. At the beginning of the last lap I thought I needed to build some kind of gap before the slow turns of S2, as otherwise I was going to find myself easy prey in the long straight. Net result, a rather slow motion loss of control in the esses, spin, hit the wall, and watch the win motoring away. How ludicrously stupid
. Very glad I dont need to worry about keeping my seat next season
. Truth is, I was rather slow in the race, so grats to Ronnie for his second well deserved win of the season, to podium (well done Doni for soldiering on), commiserations to the non finishers (everyone else!), hope the low attendence is just momentary slump. See you at the next one guys, thanks for the racing, especially to Paul, who I think couldnt race tonight, in order to host the Works race in an emergency.
