I think that Spa and the M3 were meant for each other. The combination made me much more competitive than I'd normally be. As Prof said the Beamer power allowed me through on the first lap but the other cars being quicker through the corners made it hard for me to either keep up with Apex and TT or to pull away from Prof. The little incident TT talks about gave me the chance to get involved
The M3's power then giving me the chance to mug Apex to take the lead when powering up the Kemmel straight. However Apex was mighty through some corners and I've never been any good through Stavalot. Once Apex got passed there, and stayed ahead where I was stronger, he edged away each lap. TT however continued to give me grief until a couple of small errors gave me a little gap which was enough for me to hang on to for the last few laps.
Great to be racing again and, like Prof, I'm going to try and do as many races as possible. Roll on a fun season ahead with some more close racing like last night
