I should have had 4th or 5th place in this one, but threw it away with my own mistakes. Still 6th from 9th is ok I guess after my short lived Silverstone experience.
Had some battles along the way, probably most with H@L9000. Clean stuff, thanks.
I must give the award for "best job at putting the guy in front off" to Zacari though as he did a stellar job at making me lose sight of the braking marker as he weaved spectacularly around behind me when trying to get by down the main straight. Nicely done, exactly how I normally like to stun those Legends off into the gravel.
If only that were the only time I screwed up I would have had 5th, but alas it wasn't my night as I let SBG get by after another mistake and then had to fend off H@9000 a few times after more silly mistakes.
All I can say is thank god it didn't rain for the race cause no matter what I did to the car in qually/practice I couldn't get round a lap in the rain without spinning. If it had been raining at the start I would have quit so that I didn't crash into anyone. The last time I was that unable to drive a car was, well I can't remember ever having that much trouble!
Had to run medium front and hard rears the temperatures were so bad here too. Wear was not a problem on that combo though. I had used about 16/17 wear on my right rear (the worst worn) come the half time pit stop so I still had plenty of grip. Had no problems with the engine. Started at 97% and finished at 93% after revving the nuts off it in the second half of the race. Full 5 vent but no rev drop in the setup. Oil/water temps never got about 91. Most of the time around 83 degrees.
