Well that couldn't have gone a whole lot better really
- Thought I'd done enough for 1st on the grid & TT claimed the new lap record late on, no chance for me to try to reply :'(
- Thought I'd done enough for Fastest lap of the race & Apex claimed the new lap record on that one too :'(
Well done, great driving guys
I guess I'll just have to settle for the cheeky win
at what is rapidly becoming my most fruitful track (I love it in PnG!)
Brilliant opening 20 minutes. I was nailed on TT's bumper, with no chance of getting past (though I did manage to get level a couple of times). Meanwhile Apex was nailed on my bumper & did get past me
Thankfully I was able to get close enough to pass back on the following lap & hold it while again trying to pressure TT.
A lap earlier that planned, I knew the only way past TT was going to be to utilize the now world famous Oldie Pit crew to try to do him in the pits or at least come out right behind him but with warmed up tyres vs his cold ones....
Just did it. As TT lifted the pit limiter I zoomed past on the inside & immediately held a 2sec advantage. It stayed like that for a few laps, but I guess TT must have been pushing too hard & fell off. Apex spend the rest of the race closing the gap, but I had enough this time (helped by the race ending with 3 mins still on the clock
) despite suffering a few too many slides & wobbles towards the end with pretty badly worn Meds (Note to self: try hards next time, at least on the back).
Congrats all that came.
