First time on the RRE version of Nordschleife, some subtle differences from the GTL versions, some bits faster & some slower. Took a few laps practice to adjust & still have one or two sections where there is still room for improvement, but on the whole quite happy with my 7.10 laptimes.
Race was good fun although I was a sitting duck on the fast sections unless I had opened up a big enough gap through the twisty bits. Had the potential to catch the Opel's of Riccardo & Manteos, but every time I got within 3-4s of them I made a silly mistake & lost it all again & eventually got caught by Eck & Pete. Eck got by me twice before losing control at the approach to the Karussell & on the final lap a couple of small mistakes allowed Pete to get close enough to waft past along the Dottinger Hohe, so I had to settle for 5th.
Congrats to the Italian contingent on the podium
& congrats to Riccardo on winning the championship.
