I very much enjoyed that one!
Another close Qually with Moses, only 4 hundredths between us again! Realistically I was never going to match the Merc power. Especially as there were no tows to be had....
Race start, I get off the line a little slower than I would have liked, got caught with low revs as the flag dropped, but it was ok. Moses got past by T1 and the slipstream began. I managed to get P2 back coming into the stadium section at the end of lap1. Then a lap or 2 later Moses went off at T1 and lost the slipstream. That left just myself and Ricardo duking it out for the lead.
I was quicker in the stadium section but if I managed to get past then Ricardo would just sail by on the straights. We went on like this for a number of laps until about lap 6 or 7 I think, when coming into the stadium I slipped up the inside, but just didn't have the brakes to keep the inside line, and felt like I had pushed Ricardo off. Looking at the reply, it looks like he was going off anyway, not sure, but anyhow I pulled over and gave the place back and we're off again in slipstreaming heaven!
Then on the next lap, again coming into the stadium I go off all by myself, it felt like I was in slow motion waiting for the car to stop on the grass with red brakes! Eventually got going didn't hit anything so no physical damage to the car. But I had lost a good 10secs and the slipstream was gone!
Spent the rest of the race in a lonely second, Moses was quite close at first but I manage to pull away. I think Moses was off in the grass a few times. So gave me plenty of breathing room.
Overall very enjoyable race and glad for another good haul of points. Looking forward to Indy and Reims for some more slipstream fun
Anyway see you all at East London. Not one of my favorite tracks. I have never found the flow around there.
Cheers,
