Had a fun race having had no chance to practice until race day. I knew the alpine was strong, but it is boring to drive and would limit my options at riverside. The GTA was a tad cheaper and still seemed quickish, so went with that. Got a good start and passed several cars in he first few corners, but then got pushed onto the grass at T4 and lost them all
I then ended up in the thick of the midfield melee, which was great fun while it lasted. Had a good battle with Keith for a bit, and once past it was then Legzy's rather quicker transam I had to beat. We had several great laps with the lead swapping places only for his monster to come roaring past into T1. In the end I made it stick earlier in the lap and he was too far back come the straight to respond - excellent fun
After that I was battling understeer in the alfa, so the only places I made were due to people falling off. 9th was about right for me there considering the lack of prep, but it leaves Lele and Lazlow as clear favourites for the championship. Riverside will be interesting
