Frustratingly busy at the mo so very late post...

Wow what a race!
Qualified worse than expected but on my usual pace.
Had so many vey close battles all the way to 3rd!
It's the first time I have had to comment on a tracks lack of passing places!
Overtaking is new to me!

Thanks all that was intense!
Finally iRacing delivers the kind of race we are all looking for!

Can we do that car/track combo every week!

Managed a rare iR win in the Mazda tonight. Got a good draw on the split with pole in the lower of two. I then made things difficult for myself by bogging down off the line and spinning at the second hairpin! I've been taking lessons from Paul!

Luckily I still came out of all that in third and harried the two leaders until they both spun on the same corner a few laps apart mid race to leave me out front. A German competitor did keep me honest until the closing stages when I presume his tyres went right off and the gap was finally 5 secs as i crossed the line. Adam was in the same race and came hope a creditable 5th to keep us both near the top of the table in Div 4!!

Yeah - I was behind you after your spin - you got pretty lucky! I was sure you were heading into the wall!  Good win though

I had someone get a run on me out of that corner and they were alonside heading into T6 - trying to avoid contact I stupidly ended up running wide and onto the gravel at T6 - and lost a load of positions (and time) as a result

A few more tweaks to the setup had the car feeling good, and the shorter than SRouk race length meant I didn't suffer with the chronic understeer that plagued me in the closing laps of the race here.
