Well what an excellent race
with a rather unfortunate ending
Clung on (just) to the tails of Syd & Quicksilver the whole race long, then with about 15 laps to go, QS fell off & I was in second. Then I span but stayed ahead of the now recovered QS & we moved up to catch Syd quite quickly. Was more difficult than normal following as Syd's strengths/weaknesses on this track seemed to be the opposite of mine & Qs's, leading to numerous slamming on the anchors! lol
Unfortunately with two & a half laps to go, running out of time I was trying to apply more pressure & look for half an opening when I clipped Syd & he span & I went off wide
. Decided I had to take a drive through for my sin & tried to send a chat "sorry" with my preconfigured buttons, but they all came up with "lol / hello / go team oldie" (which I'm sure didn't improve Syd's mood. Sorry mate.
Anyway, a few turns later, heading down the hill to the extra slow wiggly bit, I saw Syd flying down behind me like he was on a straight with no chance of braking so I pulled away from the turn to avoid an imminent smash up & I saw Syd fly off Dukes of Hazard style towards a wall. I drove round & did my drive through & was pleased to see Syd pass me while I was in there, but I guess the Alfa was pretty damaged after that as I quickly caught & passed.
Congrats to QS on the win & sorry again to Syd for the spin
