wow what fun! another raving review for Magny-Cours!!!!
was quite happy with 6th quali position as this is Masters after all !!! with MJ a tobacco papers width behind...and nothing changed in the race!!
...never had pressure like it where I have kept my cool! unusual for me recently
...almost nipped 5th pos early on when Leuven came off, had an opportunity to outbrake him but thought better off it as I know he is quick and he wud soon be back past!
The entire race I had MJ not more than 2.7 secs behind and got within 0.8 at one time! He was unlucky meeting traffic at Estoril twice gaining me a few tenths, which doesn't sound a lot but its all relative! We were so consistent and must have done the majority of our laps in the 1m39s!!! So happy when the race ended! and hope to have another good battle at Imola
I was hoping his tyres would go off or he would make an error but he drove superbly with great consistency. Nice one Purds, really enjoyed the chase.
I wondered if i could have just got right on your bumper to force you into an error but you kept that breathing gap constant
Ditto mate, you wouldn't disappear out my rear view mirror! If i hadn't out-qualified you, you would have beaten me in the race...!
I spent most of praccy concentrating on my race setup using the new overlay PD (which is quality
) and working out my eventual tyre wear....in the end opted for soft front and medium rears! And the highest worn tyre reading was only 18! not bad for 40mins hard slog!!
ps. bring on imola Paul R !
... i know you'll bounce back!!
