Blinking heck
is all I can say about that race :'(
Maikel, you went from hero to villain overnight
what the hell happened at the start?
Qually was fascinating, swapping places throughout the session only to be pipped by...you guessed it, Simon
Had about my best start of the series only to come to a complete halt and grass excursion about 20m down the track behind Maikels stationary car
that was the catalyst for a series of disasters that dumped me right down to the back :'(
Now in the pack proper with all the jostling porkers I got nastily spat off the outside kerb of t2 and spun hard into the barriers
- to the back again.
Lap3 I caught Chris, spanner and apex in a fight. On lap 4 I Got a great exit out of t2 on Chris and edged ahead down the hill with the inside line to the right hander. But I'm afraid Chris not only squeezed me further and further onto the verge but then turned in on me and stuck me into the Armco with nowhere to go
expect a visit from the stewards
Anyway from the back a third time I set off after the distant pack with at least a 10 sec deficit to top 12
I caught and passed numerous cars for the rest of the race until I got to Pete and we then had a fantastic battle for the last few laps
I tried all sorts but he held firm and defended well culminating in scaring the life out of me on the penultimate corner of the last lap
but no contact!
For the 2nd round in a row I lost a shed load of good points :'( finished in 12th I think.
Congrats to the podium
