For the most part it was a great race. I went with the dry setup from the start looking at the weather just before the start of the race.
I had a dodgy first lap which put me about three seconds behind Andy and Adam. I managed to catch them up after 3 or 4 laps and was gonna settle in behind the two, but Andy had a moment at the first turn which put him about 2 second behind us.
I was slightly better than Adam under breaking at the first turn and after running behind him for around 4/5 laps I decided I would have a go. We happend to be on the Start/finish straight when I decided this.... no where near Adam but I knew I could gain on him toward the end of the lap, but he seemed to brake a bit earlier than usual and before I knew it, I was up the inside of him and taking the spot. ......Thanks
From then on, with the help of the Lapping GT1's I was able to pull out and maintain a few second lead until my pit stop which I took with around 33 mins to go. At this point I had Andy closing the gap to me. I had a good stop, tyres only.
After it all settled down I had increased my lead with the stop, but my car felt wrong. My rear was all over the place under breaking which resulted in me having a spin and a couple of slow laps.
This allowed Adam catch me up, he was pressuring me for a while and it was just a matter of time before he got past, but the car came back to me and I was able to keep a good pace up when, with around 7 mins to go, I was forced off the road by a Lapping GT1.....which resulted in me hitting the inside wall of turn 1.
.....Race over..front left puncture, I had to do a whole lap with a flat and pit .
Gutted. Was loving the race, it just a damn shame I wasn't able to fight it until the end.
I am glad I finished it at least
Roll on the next one
