Like one or two others I found this track/cars combo a challenge. It required 100% concentration just to get a clean lap, let alone a fast lap.
I had suffered with that most serious of life threatening illnesses.."man flu"!! all week and it di not improve over the weekend. So I approached these races looking for something to cheer me up. I decided that I did not care where I finished as long as I got some good racing.
I got it in the first race with the nimble Elan and thoroughly enjoyed bugging Coyote from all angles, even if I could not quite make the pass. No probs with your defensive driving, all fair and just added to the fun. I cannot even tell you where I finished, except that it was behind Coyote somewhere.
Race 2 was different, that TVR is just such a beast. I had no setup ready so copied the one I used at Brands Hatch, set light to the blue touch paper and hung on!!!
There was someone with an Elan that was using a Klingon cloaking device in the early laps. Twice I was braking for a corner with a 20mtr gap to the car in front when a yellow Elan suddenly materialised between us!!!
. That did keep my nerves on edge for a while!!!
I struggled with that TVR and ran wide a few times, mostly on the outside of the track and lost loads of time, but the fun police decided that I had cut the track and I had to do a SnG on the last lap.....frankly I could not be bothered to complete it as I had enjoyed my racing enough anyway regardless of the result.
grats to the podiums and all who raced.
