I think the same mechanic assembled my Honda Engine!!
4 of the pistons fell out!!!
The start of the race went well for me and I was quite comfortable following Tristan in the early laps as we edged away from the chasing pack.
Tristan had a couple of brushes with the scenery and I had one VERY scary moment at the esses in the forest when my frame rate suddenly dropped to about 20fps!! just as I was turning in. Fortunately I bounced off the trees to the right and just clipped the barrier on the left without damage...,I thought that was going to be the end of my race!!!
The gearing on the Honda was good and I could keep pace with the Fezza in front and even close up on some sections, but decided to leave a "safety gap" rather than sit right on his exhaust pipes, because around Bremgarten it is easy to become part of someone else's accident with no run off areas.
There were plenty of laps left to consider attacking Tristan, so I settled in for a steady drive through the middle section of the race and then...............................it all went very quiet as we entered the forest
:'(
I knew that I had pushed the revs in 1st of the grid slightly more than I should have and thought I had got away with it. But maybe that had spiked the engine and it just expired even though the oil temp was low and I was upshifting at 12k, well within usual safety limits for the Waza.
Great racing at that pace with Tris , just a shame the Honda did not last through the race so that we could have diced out the final laps.
Grats to all those who survived and got to the podium.
