I never had a hope of going by though and felt like I was being toyed with tbh as he could extend a second out from me seemingly whenever he wanted to. I guessed his car was damaged, but it wasn't damaged enough. Wink
Wasnt toying with you at all Simon , I had major damage to the front left which was ok through left handers but terrible through right handers...If you had made a move i would have just let you straight trough.
How close was qually !! Awesome stuff .
Good race even though i dont like the track. Start was fun with Simon along side through the first corner. Was ready to settle in for the first few laps in 4th and then the unthinkable happened ..A Gymer making an unforced error
I had a sneaky feeling they werent machines
Dave lost it at the fast left before the corkscrew which gave me 3rd. paul was setting a fast pace with Michael in tow and the latter started to pull him in. I started to close a bit on Michael when he was close to Paul as i think Paul lost a bit of concentration (maybe looking in the mirrors to much ??). Michael pitted on lap 15 i think and i stayed close to Paul ( 2 secs) but made some errors so decided to pit at the end of lap 18. Made a good stop and managed to get out in front of Michael, Started too pull a gap ever so slightly over Michael untill i lost it at T3 and hit the wall which totally bent my front left suspension.
Thought it was game over but after a couple of laps i got used to the cars behaviour, Simon caught me and i was ready just to let him passed if he had made a move, The only way i stayed ahead was the fact that i could still attack the left handers.
grats to Paul .
Only done one oval race i think so have no experience what so ever...Damage limitation i think.
