Well, I disliked the car in practice and qualifying - but it was great fun in the race
I qualified 9th which is OK considering I didn't do any practice (too much playing in the Group C's) and even jumped someone off the line, what with the 2 drive thru's ahead that would have effectively put me up to 6th immediately.
Unfortunatly Bob caught my rear end entering T1, which half span me and resulted in my sliding all the way to the pit line before regaining control - I think I was last bar one when re-joining.
A couple of cars ahead were kind enough to fall off or run wide on the first lap which elevated me to something like 12th for the start of lap 2.
I rapidly found myself closing back up on Bob who had also been slowed in our contact and was fighting his way through the field just ahead, I think he was the hardest pass I had all race as it took 6 or 7 laps and ended with me going around the outside of what may or may not still be hanger corner..
After that we continued our battle with him pressuring me for a while before dropping back - I was caught by Felix a few laps after this and did an 'ish' job of defending up until I put a rear wheel on the dirt allowing him to get the drop on me down the old start/finish straight.
I think my next fight was with Frex, which lasted most of the rest of the race until he speared off the track behind and into a wall - That left Baikel about 2 seconds back where he had been pacing me for ages.
Right at the end I caught a struggling Mark and found myself close approaching the final chicane - it would have been rude not to have taken a lunge
Unfortunately I bounced over the inner kurb and slid into Mark, pushing us both off track. I ensured he rejoined first and tried to position myself to have a go onto the start straight - this didn't work as my tyres were so hot after the dive.
In the end I was lucky to hold Baikal off!
The replay is amazing for this race, especially the sound - anyone not running it I recommend the Fonsecker mod for this car
This is probably the first time I've ever enjoyed a race at a modern version of Silverstone - so good call on the cars Jeffery!
Also I seemed to be in a Z car so my skin was fine too.
