I really like this track. I wouldn't mind if we run it more than once in a championship. Qualifying was a bit different than I expected with Ken going very fast, so much that I had to do a final minutes run on minimum amount of fuel and risk everywhere, but it worked.
I don't know what happened at the start, as soon as I released my clutch button the car just died. It's not like I had too tall 1st gear or something, so I'm not sure, it might've been that bump in the road there. I was lucky to lose just 2 positions and so set off to chase Ken and Clive.
Brabham fits the track well and they were going at a very good pace so I just thought pitstops would give me the needed advantage, but at the same time it appeared Ken could open up a lead on Clive by then. That became irrelevant as Ken bottomed out on the backstraight and spun slowly in the middle of the track. I saw it early enough and started braking but it felt like the car would spin if I tried to change my direction, so I just kept braking as Clive was doing the same infront.
Sadly that wasn't enough - we made contact and he got flipped upside down while I just spun around. I tried my best to flip him back up and I think it would've worked eventually but he gave up and quit.
Sorry, Clive, thinking about it the contact could've been avoided even if I had spun as a result, but next time let me flip you back over, lol.
So I set off to chase the whole pack that now stood between myself and 1st place and it was quite enjoyable as the handling of the car improved over the next few laps and allowed me to really go for it. Obviously the gaps were big and it took many laps to catch up people but as some were making mistakes it helped me alot. I was expecting a battle with Ken but he must've gone off somewhere as I never saw him again. My pitstop went just fine and now I only had to make it to the finish, but near the end I went too fast into T4 and spun around, then had another off at T1 on the next lap. Luckily no damage or anything, so I was able to continue and take the chequered flag.
Fun race, despite the low turn out.
