I was 4 on the starting grid. A very small grid with only 7 cars.
(It's a pity Tristan, Iestyn, Gareth and Greg but also Ziu, Bastian, Clive Loynes and Phil were not here)
The very first laps were nice, I was following Billy, Andreas and closely followed by Axel. Clive was already leading with a big gap, I never saw his car during all the race !
Unfortunately, Axel and Billy had to retired on lap 3
But during 13 laps, we had, Andreas and me, a very pleasant race ...until Andreas blowed his engine !
After this nice race begin, I was alone during the 21 remainder laps. I took less risks because I had no hope to rejoin Clive and no risk to be rejoin by Syd with his smoking car.
I just tried to not blow my engine and to finish the race.
Only at 2 laps from the end, knowing Syd was 2 laps behind, I tried to improve my best lap and on lap 33 I did 1min28sec992 which is my all time record with the Brabham 2,5 L.
Now, guess what ? I am the new leader of this series.
It's good even if I know Ziu and Clive will quickly take the lead after the next rounds.
