Big Thanks to the 17 drivers that did turn up
feared the worst with the amount of people saying they couldn't make it.
Had a reasonable race but only real highlight was staying with the front pack for a few laps, otherwise I was on my own for most of the race with only Eck keeping a reasonable distance to me, usually about 8 secs behind and closing.
I gambled on two sets of softs as had no spare time to test mediums. They were good for about 10 laps then steadily cost me time as they wore out.
Pitted a lap early in my first stint as tyres were fubared and had hoped to put meds on but got no chance too with the pit menu ,that I could see , so got softs and a longer second stint on them
Seemed to be a decent enough strategy for a top 8 finish but Eck started catching me rapidly at the end.
We had a short sharp fight but both span off after contact at t1 with about 2 laps remaining.
I don't know who's fault it was as I had no way of looking back or sideways in my cockpit to see where he might be (lost all settings and controllers with my rebuild) so I just took my normal line as I had my nose ahead (I think). Need to see the replay and if it turns out my fault I'll swap race positions with Eck in the standings...but only if clear cut
Finished 8th. Should have used mediums and may have been able to fight with Nfsw and Maikel this eve.
Congrats to winner and podium whoever it was
. ( for second race in a row the race ended abruptly with no chance to see the standings! - Pete, a server setting?)
