1st post updated with lap count.

Short of sabotage I think Legzy's gonna wipe the floor with us here. :D

Finally a chance to let the Viper stretch its legs! ;D

Great driving by Picnic Pete, to bag himself 2nd through plenty of solid consistent driving from start to finish, despite the extra worn tyres etc with his ‘different to everybody else’ splash & dash pit strategy. I know he’s gambled with that approach nearly every race this season & has just not been able to make the tyres go the distance, suffering a late tyre change each time. So congrats.

I’m not sure what Apex was up to in those first couple of laps, I think you must have been concentrating too hard on my paint job? It certainly felt a bit bumpy from the front ;)

Shocked to see you finish back in 4th TT, I'm guessing you must have gone off? Looking at the fastest lap times (& your qually), it seems you certainly had the pace here.

As you’d expect, My My Viper’s race was fairly straight forward here really, exploit its power to get past early & then hope its handling doesn’t catch you out or give up on you before the finish! Car was much more predictable in the 2nd half of the race, once I’d repaired the rear end damage that was killing those back tyres.

Always loved this track, congrats to all

With the one week drop score, it leaves the prospect of an exciting final race in two weeks 8)

Disgusted with my driving, don't want to write...  :(
