Qualified in 15th with a 1.35, although in the practice before hand i was doing 1.34s.
Race started, and it was nose to tail thru turn 1 with me hugging a tight defensive line to put off any would be chancers. Managed to move up a spot after Pablos bad luck just before the corkscrew. By that stage there was a que forming up behind Reign Man.
Heading into T1 on lap 2 Jonzo had a look down the inside of Reign Man, but backed off probably because of the spinners on the road ahead. Reign Man then went defensive into T2 which slowed him and Jonzo quite abit, allowing me to cut back across Jonzo and get a run on him for T3. On exit of T3 i then had a run on Reign Man, and passed him into T4.
good heads up driving by Jonzo and Reign Man as they gave plenty room.
So after breaking away from the group, i put the head down in an attempt to catch the car infront. As the laps went on [R24-7] James ran slightly wide at T5, again allowing me to get a run up into the corkscrew for 5th place.
The race was fairly quiet from then on, Until i could see Jonzo pushing hard and closing in on me. So then i made sure to keep a gap of 1-2 secs. In the end i was losing it due to a light car, rain and tyres that where feeling the strain. I reakon another lap and Jonzo would of had me for sure.
Good racing
