Great fun evening of racing with a large dollop of frustration!
Cars and track were superb. Such a cool looking grid, I was almost dribbling looking out at the various iconic liveried race cars about me on the grid
Had a great qualifying session battling Geoffers, Legz and a few others setting quicker lap times each run and finished a fine 4th on grid.
Sat at race start relishing an epic battle with Johns Brumos Porsche ahead and Geoffers beefy escort behind.
That lasted as far as T2 when I found out I had lost all my sodding ffb in the steering again and therefore a slight tug at the wheel was the equivalent of spinning a ships wheel
and I flew off track to be dead last by half a lap. I was utterly angry and despondent and nearly quit. To be robbed of a great race so early felt so unfair as it only seems to happen on the races I really like!
...but (in a Hamilton way!) I channelled the anger into adrenaline and set off after the pack like a man possessed
I made up the half lap deficit and then overtook every car I caught, or they fell off! And after a couple of short sharp fights with Swift and Goldtop, I found myself back where I started in 4th...hurrah!
I actually had a dull last third of race as the top 3 were 20+ secs up the road and I had a 20+ sec gap to those behind me, so just took it easy with the lack of ffb and didn't take any chances.
Well happy to still get 4th but think I could have had a great scrap with the top 3 without the controller problem.
