I had a great qualy setup and set a new PB with pole
Then at the start of the race went wide on the final turn within the first 2 laps and threw away and very reasonable lead
After another 5 laps or so of chasing Bernie and Sam, Sam made a dive approaching the Hairpin, got it wrong and lost speed allowing me to take him on the next straight. Bernie was kind enough to out brake himself a lap or 2 later handing 1st and 2nd to myself and Sam respectively, only for me to go wide
again on the final turn and let Sam, Phil, and Bernie through...
After much chasing Bernie span again so I regained 3rd. Shortly after this Phil span at the hairpin right infront of me, slight warpage ment I had no-idea where he was going to end up which ment he managed to continue without loosing his spot to me - The fezza is impossible to out drag meaning I was stuck behind again
Had an interesting off-road/air display incident at T3 which allowed Bernie to get quite close, he decided to try and out brake me into the hairpin and ended up binning it to avoid me (I think) as I'd already been braking as late as poss meaning he carried too much speed in.
Safe now from his advances I pressed harder and soon started to reel in Phil who was also slowly pulling Sam in.
From here it was simply a convoy as no-one really found a place they could make a pass stick, every advantage I held entering a straight Phil would throw back at me when he opened the taps, and Sam remained far enough ahead to remain safe until litterally the last drag up the S/F straight.
The 3 of us crossed the line less than .4 of a second apart
Good consistent drive there Sam
Also a damn good fight from Phil, just a shame he couldn't have spun somewhere slightly further away from me
Congrats to all the finishers and big thanks to the BM's for giving the 3 of us room
SHE is meerly content with my race as I threw it away twice
I must try harder to secure victory for team Hiki Waza!
Any idea what's causing your freeze's Mike? Too much dust/heat? or something else?
