Didn't think I was going to do very well here as I didn't do much pratice and I was going to use the cooper up until half and hour before the race. Used most of pratice to set the gearing up on the Honda, then towards the end of the session went for a quick lap and got second which I was happy with. Race started got away reasonably well and just slotted in to second, I was quite happy following Nhance as we were pulling away from a pair of coopers and settled myself in keeping an eye on the revs. A few laps in got a good run on Nhance into the first corner and took the lead, got myself in a nice rhythm looking after the car and still extending my lead. Towards the end of the race all the traffic was really good and gave me lots of space (thanks Guys).
I have never looked at the rev counter so much and been so careful with gear changes before
Thanks all

I got a reasonable start in the cooper passing one car off the line and slotting into about 4th or 5th, an early incident up ahead gave me another place and then I set about the car in front who was roguk- I got close to him but several early unforced errors slid me back and put the gap to rog to about 10 seconds which took me about 15 laps to close. About 5 laps from home I realised Giovanni was closing in on me and with 3 to go the 3 of us were very close. On the penultimate lap I got a little over excited and slid wide getting stuck in a hedge which cost me a shift-r and stop and go. My best finish ever was on the cards but alas it was only to be 5th  Thanks to the new driver(s) who were very generous with the space. |

I'm in the team coyote, but in the classification of the race (zolder), does not appear.

LOL - I can't fix this one. Your membership profile does not show you as a member of Team Coyote - not sure why. I have a similar problem with Giovani at PSC Zeltweg. I've asked Giz

Like Paul(B Blood) I don't want to report the Nigel incident but I will if I have to (its complicated). There are going to be penalties in this race for certain  I'll only mod what get's reported. If an incident does not get reported, I can't mod it. If you boys are happy, so am I. |

Enjoyable race for me, start 5 laps spent trying to keep up with Nhance and Rob in the hondas, 5th lap Nhance missed gears which let me pass, next 15 laps dicing with Johnny for 2nd place, last lap Giovani pushing and we kissed coming into jackyickx curve sent me spinning but car not damaged and finished 3rd. Great race Great fun. Grats to Rob on win.
