Congrats Axel and Jonny! I thought you drove well Axel. A quick spin and a fair bit of caution as I lapped other cars dropped my lead to 4 seconds late in the race.
I got lucky Uli did not appear to really show us how it´s done. It was interesting to see the times I posted are very similar to the times I ran in 2014. A better gear set might make me a little faster.
Billy, I would guess it is inexperience if you can remember Nurburgring. All the laps I have run at Targa Florio and it is still not unusual for me to forget where I am at times. I had forgotten sections of this track on my first two laps in practice. By the end of practice I knew where I wanted the car on the track most of the time.
This time I wanted the lead at the start. I thought I might be able to hold the lead if I could break the slipstream. I pushed myself and the car the first 3 laps to break any tow Axel might get. After that I drove similar to Axel, just be careful and try to avoid any accident or spins. I was cautious as I started lapping cars, although I did not hesitate to pass Billy. Dave was very considerate slowing before T1 to let me pass. I thought I might have to wait until the next long straight.
Phil might have had some good speed for qualifying but he sure did not have the consistency he needed for the race.
I found this interesting and I thought Axel and Phil would too. A new lap record by Peter Hickman at Isle of Mann and a demonstration lap by Milky Quayle of a new camera setup. These are more good examples of what a great job Mr. Pearson did with IoM.
