I can now confirm that the "Flat Earth Society" are correct!!! The earth is a flat disc!!!
Last night I actually fell off the edge of the world ( which I have discovered runs through the suburbs of Pau) and have only just returned from Neptune, or was it Uranus
I suffered the same fate as SenorLobo at the chicane during last night's race. Just clipped the armco, something I had done dozens of times in practice and everything started spinning and tumbling...and kept on tumbling and spinning..and on...and on.
I was hoping to steal some points with the D type as I had almost tamed the beast offline and managed a very low 1:27 as a PB . It indicated that a 1:26 was possible, but I never quite made it happen and I doubt that I could have matched Pelle and Lobo's times, so I was content with 3rd on the grid.
The Jag was always going to be a handful off the line because of the very high gearing I was using, but I just about had 3rd slot covered as we approached T1. By the time I exited T1 I was about 8th or 9th??!! something big and black and menacing had swept through the pack and I ended up parked on the grass.
The next few laps were fun as I threaded my way past other cars as I tried to get back in touch with the leaders. The power of the D type came in handy ( plus a banzai braking move at one point) until I could see Matt and 3rd spot ahead. I tried to settle into a nice steady pace and reel Matt in slowly, whilst watching Erling a few seconds back in my mirrors. I knew that I could go faster, but with a long way still to go I eased back a little to save the rubber, and that was probably my undoing as the car was definitely more stable under power. I allowed the car to slide a little too much as I approached the chicane and............
Grats to Pelle and the podium, and definitely to all those who finished. Cheers for Bill who finally seems to have killed the gremlins in his computer.
