This was a classic, already been said
,. Traded places with Bara early on but he got me back on the downhill approach to T4 after he got a nice run out of T3. Bara then closed right up to Jonzo with me following not to far behind and at T1 i think bara may have missed his braking spot and ran wide, he rejoined behind Backo (yeah i watched the replay
) This allowed me concentrate on trying to attack Jonzo but i really couldnt get my nose along side anywhere and anytime i got a run Jonzo was awake and put his car in a good defensive position which was enough to put me off having a lunge. But while all this was happening Bara had the head down because his car was getting bigger in my mirrors.
Had a bit of a hairy moment when lapping a back marker at the last turn Jonzo went one way i went the other which took me across the grass and i feared i would lose it but it worked out ok
.
Later i managed to get alongside MJ and make a pass down into the long right hander before the uphill chicane but i then promptly made a mistake by running wide at T1 and so i left MJ a bit of room on exit because i thought he'd pounce at that but he stayed behind and i took up a defensive position heading towards T2 because Bara came from nowhere and was right on our tails. Then at T2 i run wide again and that left me without an ideal line into T3 with Bara really close , so i take up another defensive position to try and hold Bara off thru T4.
I then got a small breather for next lap or so but Bara soon closed up again, ran wide at T1 again and Bara sneaks past on the inside and as we approach T2 on the last lap i thought to myself feck it and had do or die lunge underbraking while trying my utmost not to take him out like ive done in the past (Monza GTs), but i didnt and somehow held on for the rest of the last lap.
Excellent race
great driving from both of ya!!
Congrats to Dan on a good win in the RS
