Real bad luck Purds, thats a shame :'(
Had another corking nights racing with you guys
Qually battle was great, was very happy sitting 2nd and 3rd for a long while then a gaggle of sods all jumped me and i dropped to 6th, but still quite happy as knew race setup was good.
..and what a race! it was so flipping intense, lap after lap of pure adrenalin racing
I had superb battles with Brian Kerr, TT and Paul Richards for something like half an hour in the top 6
Unfortunately it all came to an end when i got a bit caught out by Brian changing his attack angle to the Bus stop, i thought he was taking it wide and went inside but we rubbed door handles and the car went into a half spin while Brian was able to continue forward :'( it was just enough to make me lose that intense concentration and i braked a tad later at La source only for the car to touch the marbles and do the worlds slowest slow motion slide into the armco where it got stuck
I sat there in utter disbelief/frustration as 5 cars steamed past me after all that hard work :'(
Finally got it back onto the grippier surface and sped after Paul968 and Jeff in their fast moving GTC's. It took me a few laps to get close enough to Paul and then i slip streamed him out of Eau rouge and chased Jeff for another lap, just about getting past his wide Mosler at flat out 6th gear approach to Blanchimont
...i had to clench buttocks and hope we both got around side by side almost !...we did
So i got back to 8th place and was just a couple of secs behind the front pack again when the race ended.
Cracking stuff, congrats to all the hard charging, clean racers
and great result for teamies Adam and TT, just a shame i didnt finish with them in the top 5 as i was earlier.
Top win again mr Baracus
ps...i also forgot to change my race setup and had an hours worth of fuel onboard.....D'oh !
