I really enjoyed that return to the old days, stock cars and tracks, brilliant.
Humbling to watch Pero's pace, I shall enjoy trying to learn something from the replay.
Didn't really have much close racing, when Marco closed on me so rapidly I stayed wide at T1 both times as I saw no point in blocking someone at least half a second faster, better just to try and hang on to them, was pleased that towards the end of the race I was able to hold the gap at a second or so for several laps, I think my tyres were better, then the last 3 laps my concentration went and I fell right back. But overall pleased to find some form for once.
I always used to jump the chicane, driving to the game's cut warnings (I know we actually agreed this at the L4 race) but I actually found this time, with experience, that rather than straightlining the chicane with neutral throttle it was quicker to turn in slower and keep the left wheel just on the track on the second kerb, as you could maintain full throttle from entry. Although I did I overshoot a few times and completely run over the kerb, but actually lost time each time!
