I did not see the message about my "wrong car" until there was only 10mins quali left...lol I actually thought that I had selected the Lotus and just did not notice the shiny Brabham logo on the steering wheel
So, once I had the Lotus I could only practice with race setup and guesswork.
Starting 9th did not look very promising, but I was surprised to find myself on the tail of the leading group of 6 cars after only a couple of laps
.
Great fun chasing down each car, until I made a serie of small mistakes when I was pushing too hard to catch Robert and things got very sideways at Stowe allowing Dean through with only about 6 laps left and no time to catch him.
Then Robert ran off the track and Tris blew his engine!!! very bad Santas!! promoting me from 5th to 3rd in about 1.5 laps. Very Lucky for the elves
This is always great fun and last night was no exception. fantastic racing from start to finish.
