I think the race post should have said you can use any car you like as long as it is green.
Geat circuit to race on with corners that you can literally throw the car into. Unfortunately I am still struggling for pace, although almost error free. It would have been uneventful if Dave hadn't needed a reset. It took him a few laps to catch up, several  more to work a pass & then a fierce battle for last place.

Luckily, I went off / got stuck & needed a reset just a few laps in - at least it was not later in the race with additional heavy fuel!

I seemed to be creeping up on Billy, but very very slowly. I could hear him, but was many laps until I could see him for a fraction of a second.

When I suddenly caught up, something had clearly happened.  I figured that he'd had to reset,  but he didn't dive in the pits on the first completed lap.  However, his car with cold tyres/heavy fuel, didn't seem to be particularly slow anywhere.

On passing the pits the 2nd time, it became clear the reason for the not-dismal pace was he did not reset at all!

It took a number of laps before he left a lot of room at T1 & I was able to edge past. 

It really made those 25 laps or so, quite exciting;  so thanks for that - would have been rather boring otherwise from back there/alone.


Cheers,
Dave.
