Ouch, after losing my attacker, i took it slow.
But this changed after lapping back from three wheeler clive...i tried to get another lap back...missed by 7 seconds
When I lost concentration and put a wheel on the grass entering Stirlings, I almost decided to quit when a wheel fell off. But then I wondered if with the lead that I had and only a few laps left to run, maybe I could still score some decent points?? I knew that Uli would pass me and probably Tim too, but then there was a big gap back to Bastian. I decide to give it a go and see how fast ( slow) I could drag the damaged car around. The final lap was getting a bit close as Bastian closed in and I had to oh so careful not to stick my car into a barrier somewhere and lose time.
Everything considered, it should have been max points for me, but it was just an unforced error when I was cruising and to get the points you have to finish the race. Getting 3rd place with only 3 wheels for the last 4 laps was some serious damage limitation and I was lucky.

Grats to Uli and Tim and grats to all finishers and thanks to the backmarkers when I had 4 wheels. Apologes to anyone I held up when I was limping on 3 wheels.
