This one was not a frustrating evening, but rather a pleasant but tiring one!
First of all whoever (Tony? alone or with some help?) chose the cars and the tracks for this series made a really great job!
I am still amazed to see how different these cars feel and however produce very similar lap times. And I think that the tracks fit these cars well (or is it the opposite ?)
Race1:
To my liking Roger was quite a bit too big in my mirror for many laps but I finally managed to create a decent gap (if not a comfortable one).
After that I managed to get close to a fighting trio that became a duo as Erling eased away from it. Thanks to Dan visiting the lawn the duo was then limited to The Evil One. I tried to attack him for the few remaining laps, but without success if not without fun. P4 as a result.
Race2:
The Toyota is the easiest one of the 3 cars for me, but this race was a bit dull.
I could not quite stay with the top three guys, but was able to stay around 2 sec away from Erling for most of the race. I had a bit more cushion on my backside without it being really comfortable...
Not as badly as Erling, but I also "benefited" from Dan's engine resilience
... P4 as a result.
Race3:
It's Mazda time, and I don't really like this car so I was surprised to be on P4 on the grid (Oh, yes Geoffers did not quali, that helps
)
Roger missed his start so I was P3 for a few laps, managing to avoid any big mistakes whilst Tony, Roger & Bob kept themselves busy (and slowed down a bit).
But around lap 7 I realized that in P4 was now Geoffers
and all hopes of a podium finish now disappeared... I could resist for about one lap but then he passed me easily (he gained nearly one second on me in T1 alone!
).
On lap 12 I had the pleasure to see Evilclive coming out from a garden party
and was able to pass him... but not for long
. We had a quick interesting
and I got P4 as a result.
So I went back home with three "chocolate medals", which is a pretty good result for me, and a big grin on my face!
Thanks all for a good racing evening.
