Will next race (Mondello) be a championship race or an interlude?
As I understand it SS, the race is part of the overall championship but we all have to drive Minis.
Anyone know where I can find a Mini Mustang?
As for this race, as SS has already said, that was a start to finish battle for second spot between Tim and me.
John could probably have won in the 1300 Alfa so I had no aspirations for the hat trick!
Grats also to SS for the great drive in the Cortina. I think that I noticed on the replay that he had his nose in front of Tim at one point at the start of lap two!
Tim and I were side-by-side through Redgate after the start and thankfully I had the inside line, allowing me to hold on to second spot.
I couldn’t shake him off until he took a bit of grass on the exit of the chicane (I think) but then I did much the same thing at Coppice on the next lap. That put him back on my rear bumper and when I made a mess of the Old Hairpin he passed me.
At one point we came up to lap Bill at McLeans and there is just no way that Tim should have been able to stay on the track, but he did. That dropped me back about a second because I had anticipated an accident but I managed to close him down again.
I almost passed him at Redgate on one occasion but in the end it was a mistake from Tim at the Old Hairpin that let me pass him at McLeans.
I still couldn’t shake him off but I think that his tyres were knackered at the end.
Great race. Just need a few more of you in Mustangs and we could have a good time!
Grats John.
