Grats to Tom and the podium guys.
Apologies to a couple of people for last night's race and to log my excuses
I arrived so late on the server that there was no time to post a qually lap and I started at the back of the grid. That was not so much of a problem, but forgetting to put on my racing socks was!! I started the race barefoot and for the first laps that was not an issue, but as the race progressed I found that the heat in the room where I keep my computer was making my feet sweaty. Gradually as the race progressed, my feet started to stick/slip on the pedals and things got tricky as I could not gradually apply gas or brakes. My feet would stick and then suddenly slip...….not the best way to handle a GP car!!
No worries Jack, I confess that I was following perhaps too closely, and was kind of expecting you to brake a little earlier than I was. But on both occasions you wobbled and that was what caught me out
My driving style is to drift the car into the apex, just balancing the slide/brakes/gas to control the direction, but once I am committed there is not much chance of changing the line when on the limit of adhesion, so partially my fault
Must also apologise to John for my rejoin late in the race after an off with a sticky brake foot. The rejoin was also afflicted by "sticky foot syndrome" when my foot stuck and then slipped on the gas, firing me onto the racing line instead of crawling gently onto the edge of the tarmac
I breathed a huge sigh of relief when John squeezed through unscathed, although perhaps he was somewhat traumatised?
