After I Joined the server I noticed that the SRBC guys had choice the 427 Archway skin, so I gave it a try... love at first sight
Honestly I didn't think I could have been able to do such a great lap in qualif... that encouraged me so much for the race.
Unfortunately my race was not up to my expectations, but at least I had some fun with John for the first time in this champ... Today's training surely helped me a bit
During the first 2 laps me and John were really close, and we passed each other at least twice times, but at the first corner of the 3rd lap my "dreams of glory" were miserably off, and I have only to blame my idiocy... my car spun and I lost the contact with John definitively. I'm angry about this, cause I'm sure it would have been a cracking duel til the end. I was on a really good pace and I'll never forgive myself for that mistake. Stupid Manteos!
After the spin I focused my race to replace the gap to Clive, and after 2 or 3 laps I passed him, following to push as a devil to try a desperate comeback on John... obviously there was no chances to be succesful without an error by John, and in fact John did no mistakes as I expected. Cold comfort was my pace seemed to be even slightly faster than John's, but it was too late... literally in Italy we say that: "The omelette was done..."
At least for the first time in this champ I had the chance to compete for the victory, and this is a good sign, cause it means that I'm not as rusty yet
Many grats to John for the champ. I know him since the time of GC and he is a really consistent and fast driver. Very well deserved mate
Grats even to Clive for the second place
You improved a lot your performance with a trainer like John
Grats also to SRBC for the team champ!
I hoped to be helpful for the Oldie's team, but this time there was nothing to do mates... Time to train was really short... I'll try again during the next champ
Thanx to the organizers for setting up the show
