That went pretty well Smiley

I dropped down to the group B car in quali after it became apparent that none of the Team7 guys were going to be there. Had just enough time to get a couple of quick laps in before the start and sneaked back onto pole.

Clive stuck with me for quite a while and I was wondering if he'd be there to capitalise on any mistakes for the whole race, but he dropped back by about half distance. Just as well, as I locked a wheel at turn 3 and went straight on into the tyre barrier. Lost a few seconds but luckily I bounced back on and was able to nurse it home without the gap coming down by too much.

Nice track, good flow to it and rewarding to get right in these cars.

Still not used to this tyre wear and usually panic at half race distance when I see how little rubber I might have left. I guess I got it somewhere near right this time as I had about 20% left on all 4 wheels at the end.

I find the best policy is usually to drive it like you stole it, then deal with the tyre wear afterwards!

I enjoy this track too, some of the sections have unhelpful camber changes that catch you out with worn tyres
and I agree that it is rather narrow for these cars, but that's the sort of cars that run here. I think the same about
Bathhurst, it's a tight and twisty track with nutter V8s on it.

Where were the Italian? I hope Stig hasn't scared them off  Roll Eyes

Congrats to John & EvilClive, excellent pace guys.  thumbup2

I just could not get a setup that I was happy with. If I made the car turn better it made it more unstable & difficult to control, so stuck with an understeery setup which was more driveable. Consequently it was more of a drive round than a race, although I had a few fun laps trying to hold off Matt until he went off. Still, I grabbed a few points, which, with absence of Team 7 put me back in the points lead!  Grin


In case you guys haven't seen it, I am organising an Inter-League P&G Team event over the Christmas period. See here for details so far:

Clive could do with some support in the SROUK team!
