Seems I should be embarassed for using the TVR. Sorry, had only practiced with it and the Elan, before they were declared pariahs in the forum. No time to switch to another one, and didn't think I'd be the only one. Besides, as I suck at driving it, I genuinely expected the aliens to be quicker in lesser cars. Keeping it under control for 36 laps also seemed unlikely. When nocatu switched to Elan, I expected to be in trouble - I could almost match my TVR times in the Elan, and I suck at driving that one too.
Surprised then to be on pole. Absolutely nailed the start - pity Dan couldn't see it
Had nocatu for company over the early laps, but gradually opened a gap. Rest of the race lonely and uneventful, apart from lapping a few cars. Was nice to finish on the podium; not often that happens these days. Grats to nocatu & Geoffers, and commiserations to the retirees.
