I enjoyed the race although it was largely a parade following Paul!
Pleased to grab 2nd in qualifying but I *hate* being on the outside at the start and somewhat predictably Martin easily took the place off me. Fortunately he was being a little too careful and I grabbed it back out of T2.
Paul was already up by a couple of seconds by this point so I needed Bernie to catch me to get a draft so we could haul him in. Even then it took 20 laps or so!
When Bernie caught me it became apparent I hadn't given myself enough gearing as I was hitting the limiter about 3/4 of the way down the back straight so as soon as Bernie got a run on me there was little I could do about it.
We were about 10s up on the rest of the drivers by now and it looked like we'd go green for a good long stretch so I thought I'd just hang onto the back of Bernie & Paul and see what happened at the pit-stop.
What happened is that I made a right mess of it, spinning onto the track from under the apron in T4. Luckily no-one was near.
That dropped me off from Bernie & Paul and allowed Dan to catch, forcing me to furiously defend until he sadly had contact with Martin.
Not a big field but I'll take the podium and a Legends 1-2-3 is a beautiful sight to behold
Well done to Bernie on the 2nd spot.
I'm a bit sad that that's probably the last oval race we'll do but I guess the numbers tell me it really isn't an option if we want to maximise participation.
Congratulations to Paul on a great season and a deserved win. Also big credit to Dan who drove brilliantly this season, taking a driver of Paul's ability all the way to the last race is something to be proud of in itself.
And well done to Dave/me (* delete as appropriate) on 3rd, you/I did really well too
Nice team title for the Legends, put us in a fast car and we know what to do (Let Paul handle it
)
