O dear, my pace got me above my experience level there and it showed :'( Got a huge draft from Paul then didn't know quite what was gonna happen in T1, got offline and span in T2. Sorry Dave.
When the racing started I had two choices through my lack of experience of dicing in iR land, I could have slowed or gone for it. I chose the latter, sorry again Dave, but I don't really see how else I'm gonna learn? Plus it was great fun for first few laps. I've learned how to go quite fast but now I have to learn how to race :'( Its entirely different ball game this but I'm getting there
Couldn't agree more on the lack of experience and it being a different ball game.
I practised a lot for this race and worked on consistency more than speed. I was doing runs of up to 20 laps with no incidents.
However come the race and everything just turned upside down. There were places on the track that I kept losing it for no apparent reason.
I dont think I was overcome by race fever as I was telling myself to relax and just put in the laps, get the experience.
Thinking back I can only think of one change I made for the race and that was fuel and that was only by 1 gallon. I suspect that made quite a bit of differece.
Anyway onwards and upwards. I'll keep practising for Laguna.
Interestingly I went back to Summit to practice and I was much much better than 2 weeks ago so I think the practising and getting used to the differnt style of driving needed for the Skippy is helping.
Sorry to any one I cocked up during the race.
