e-69x??
That might be a certain evil character?? Big apologies if there was contact, I have not looked at the replay Tom.
From memory I guess it was on the bend leading onto the straight? I think you went a little deep into the corner and I took the chance to try and pass. I did not feel any contact at that point, but I did notice that you were the wrong side of the haybales when I looked in my mirrors, so I think there might be some warp contact involved. Again, apologies if I di biff you off.
I am almost beginning to believe that I have cured my "disco" problems. I think that makes 4 races now without a sudden exit...............but maybe it is too soon to get too happy.
When I saw the choice of track I must confess that I did not think that it would be good for 69 racing, how wrong I was!! I had a storming race from 8th on the grid picking up places until I was up to a comfortable 2nd place at about half distance. Tristan was in a class of his own and was out of sight by then, so I was concentrating on holding the gap back to Bob in his Brabham.
Maybe I am wrong but it seemed to me that there were two sorts of set up in use. High wing angles for handling and low wing angles for speed, which made things very interesting
A moments lack of concentration leading on to the straight and I tested the resilience of the haybales and that put Bob back into 2nd with Piero threatening to pas me as well. I managed to close the gap to Bob again and with a lap to go I pressured him into a small error at the Esses and swept majestically into 2nd spot ..........................only to see smoke in the mirrors and get that sickening feeling that comes with a blown engine.
The last lap was torture as I limped around to the flag watching my 2nd place evaporate to 7th or 8th by the flag.
I enjoyed some great racing and especially enjoyed finishing another race.
Grats to Tristan and the podium and thanks to Bob for some great racing.
