Pretty good night for me all things considered. Judging by the numbers I could have qualified in the first half of the field in Race 1 but I felt too rusty and tired to jump into the fray like that straight away. Good thing too I did start at the back because I did manage to eff up the very first corner
. After that it was going to be a chase after the slower cars but plenty of those decided it was a nice day for a picnic in the field and I ended up 6th with no effort. Then I noticed I was actually gaining on Mr. Policardi and that turned into a nice challenge. I got real close but overshooting the entry to the Esses just once was enough to make the gap unbridgeable.
Originally I wasn't going to do a 2nd race as I was already tired but when I noticed there was only a 15 minute gap to race 2 I decided to go for it and even to qualify. 6th spot in that was just where I wanted to be and when Geoff and Mr. Policardi went off I found myself in 4th with a 15 second gap to fifth.
It should have been a walk in the park from then on even with much better drivers behind but the fatigue caught up and I too went for a stroll in the park. Both the Beemer and the driver were rather messy after that and if the race had been a single lap longer Mr. Policardi would have taken that precious 4th spot.
Edit: Oh, forgot to mention: 255 hours and counting...
