At first I thought 'oh no not another airfield' as I don't generally go well at these. But the engineering of the track meant great 'draw' distances and that helped a lot to get the feel of the track. During the race I think I picked up several places on the first lap. This was probably due to others being extra cautious and avoiding the 'accident on wheels' that is usually my car.
Unfortunately on the second ? lap I followed Bernie a bit too close into the esses and clouted his gearbox, resulting in a SnG for me. Sorry if it spoiled your race Bernie. These things really do pick up the draft don't they
From then on it was a case of playing catch-up- several times due to little errors on my part- I think I got stuck on the same bale as Paul V, but managed to reverse off- and generally I was enjoying the race.
Last lap and I was up behind Billy with a chance of one more place for the finish- damn, went and done it again- touched his gearbox at the right handed at the top of the circuit and we both spun. I rejoined ahead of him but didn't feel that was fair so let him pass with the intention of staying close and making a cleaner attempt at the last corner to take the place. It wasn't to be though as Billy kept it tidy to the line and left me no way back.
Grats to the podium and all who finished. I see some of the comments about the track and whilst I agree in general, picking the cars (F2) that reward slipstreaming the most actually made it enjoyable, for me at least. I race for FUN, I don't have the time away from RL to be able to practice enough to be really good, but although it's fun I will take it as seriously as I am able and respect the views of others while I am enjoying this great hobby.
Can't get on track tonight as I will be out, but have fun everone.
