That was careless.

Then the fool went and span in the hairpin.  There was no room to get by but I was now right up his gearbox.  What I should have done is eased back and resumed plan A but I decided to try and put some pressure on.  On one lap I came into T1 a little too quickly, it slid wide and I hit the wall.

So Brendan's strategy was to deliberately spin, drawing you in closer (like Maverick in Top Gun) causing you to spin and wrecking your carefully constructed fantasy, sorry strategy of leapfrogging him in the pit stops.

Yeah I can see that Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin

I have to say I love this track, the flow from corner to corner is a real challenge.

Qually went well enough with a time a couple of tenths off my PB. In the race it took a few laps to settle down but making a bodge of one corner early on got my attention. The only other thing of note was that on one of my practice stops I was told I was too far left in the pit stop so making sure that I didn't do that again I was then too far right so my stop was a little slower than it should have been.

Congrats Brendan and Ian in particular but to all those who did bother to turn up.

Its all to play for at Spa for the overall, Radical and team championship, congrats to Brendan for winning the DP title, especially that excellent Silverstone win Wink

Regards

My finest moments are often the one's where I do nothing at all Wink

Great drive Gary.  Untouchable.

I was a little surprised to be ahead of Paul on the grid as I expected the DP to be some way off the Rad pace, but a PB was good for 2nd.  This put me in a position where I had no choice but to try and push and build a gap to negate any time I would lose during the pitstops.  It was going reasonably well, Gary had cleared off and I had around 4 seconds on Paul, not enough, but something to work with.  As he said, I cunningly mucked up the hairpin Wink and the gap was gone.  What followed was about 6 quite poor laps with another silly off at the fast chicane at which point I immediately decided to pit.  Made a hash of the entry and clobbered the wall, fortunately no damage.  Was surprised to come out behind Ian and contemplated sitting there and waiting for him to pit although I soon fathomed that he might have already stopped and I better try and regain the place the hard way. 

A near disaster with about 2 laps remaining gave me a brown trouser moment and after nursing the car over the final laps I was relieved when the chequered flag dropped.  2nd was far beyond my expectations, but I'm well aware there was a certain amount of luck involved, especially with some notable absencees and Paul's unfortunate demise.  Spose it makes up for Silverstone.  Roll Eyes

Anyway, thanks to those who made it and finished, grats again to Gary and Ian.  Looking forward to Spa already.
