Interesting that Hristo went off alongside kinghiro at the left hander after the hairpin....cos' that's where I met my end alongside the same guy lol!!!
I was having a great dice against his Lotus barge with my Eagle, but neither of us could match Syd's pace in the Brab !! The sheer grunt of the lotus made it very difficult to make any attempt at a pass, but KH was always very defensive and slowinto the hairpin, always taking a very tight inside line. Eventually he went in too deep, and ran wide, allowing me to cut back and get infront ( just!!). But the power of the Lotus dragged him alonsgide on the run down to "that" left hander. I tried to brake late and take a wide outside line, hoping to have the inside for the right hander afterwards. I went a little wide and clipped the bank, it was just a brush and I thought I had made it stick when the sky caved in and a wheel fell off
Purely coincidentally, there was a Lotus in close proximity
. But i think we both went a little too hard and deep and there was not enough tarmac for both cars.
All in all a shame , because it was shaping up to be a good duel, without anyone looking like they would catch us from behind, and the different characteristics of the Lotus and Eagle making for some different approaches to the corners.
I m really sorry I hit you Evil . Heres what happened. I went a bit left down the straight just to "show myself in the mirror" a bit.(I ve seen they do it on tv)
I was surprised how far up on your side I came and started to concider a go for the corner but backed down(worried about braking point and started to brake early). I was sure I just went to 5 th and took and early brakeand downshift into 3 d ( I thought ).I was in 6 th so as a result I sail into the turn one gear too high and almost loose my rear when I realize and shift down/brake. I end up deep and hit your rear/side when you get off the bank.
sorry again.
Merry Christmas all
