Good to hear you chaps enjoyed yourselves, looking forward to checking out the replay this eve when I get back.
Wasn't the result I'd hoped for after somehow landing the Cobra on pole but despite dropping four spots, that was an absolute cracker! Bizarrely, not just due to the battling, although it was fun dicing with Madd in the opening stages, but mainly just due to the awesome track/ car combo and the double juice consumption our new Directors (& PR) have rustled up.
For the first time I actually thoroughly enjoyed just driving as hard as I could but concentrating on managing my tyres (ok concentrating on watching them disappear
) and carefully feeling the difference in weight distribution as the fuel was guzzled away. The handling was so different through the stints making it very tricky - but although I could tell by the pool of sweat that I'd done 80 mins, it absolutely flew! Really felt like driving on a knife edge for most of it and it had to be that way if the Cobra was ever to recover that extra stop.
Only git was that I'd stuck the brakes quite far to the rear to help me get the turn in I wanted for the twisty bits but I never really managed to pick a good reference point into turn 1 and with the bias where it was, that codding corner caused me grief time and time again...flying off the road fairly dramatically there three times in total!
Loving seeing two steps on the podium occupied by greenies once again, wicked stuff boys - you enjoy yourself on your hols Mr. Minton, no need to rush back bud
Grats to Madd, well deserved but also to Jimbo - was really hoping to have bragging rights after this one but you well and truly destroyed me in the same car here, despite my attempt to block you by parking across the road at T1 - apologies, sort of freaked out there, it all happened so quickly! Literally came to a stop as you rounded the corner but I realise with hindsight that my words of warning on TS could have been more useful than just aaaaaaarrrgggh, waaaaaaatchouuuuuuuut, aaaaaaarrrghhhh, nooooooo!!!!
Fantastic track - we have to have this one again, just brilliant, well done guys.
On to Mosport! It's a veritable sim feast we're having at the moment, delicious.
