I hope everyone could continue. Very sorry to those who lost so much time. After that my focus was gone, broke off my wing racing alone on lap 2. Esc...

See ya in 2 weeks.

Race turn 1 was wild but I managed to get thru and the race was hard but uneventful except for a turn one where I thought Ricky was giving me the corner but I guess he did not see me and we collided. Sorry Rick. As I plundered thru I kept seeing people leave the race then passed some guys having issues and ended 5th wow what a surprise. Thanks to my team mate for all his help.

I had to check at end of race to check if I put rain tyres on or something. This was my first race I had no idea on race strategy or setups. Hard tyres or soft?

Yes, his car just transported inside my car. Then he would not let me lap him for a whole lap. I think I wore out my horn button.

I still finished 3rd, good result , but only because a lot of the fast dudes had issues.

Managed to miss melee at turn one, but span on last turn, touching wall but no damage. Trouble was I was stuck to the wall, by the time I freed the car the leaders where lapping me, I got hit and this stalled the engine, meaning I couldn't drive out of the way, meaning I got hit again and had to start engine a few times. Afterwards the steering wheel was wonky so pitted and got it fixed. Running a few seconds (quite a few) of pace (me not the car) I was lapped a few times but managed to keep out of the way, so finished without any more incidents. Was quite interesting seeing wheels and bits of car littering the track. Gradually I crept up the field as others had to retire.

Note to self, don't try to win, just concentrate on completing clean laps.

Bruce, post: 26051, member: 581 Wrote:Cheers Fergy. Just seen the results, wondered why I got no points. There are points up to 20th, and I understand that if you DNF you don't get points, But I did finish normally albeit a few laps down. Looking at the results I did complete over 75%, admittedly by only a quarter of a lap but it was over. Only reason I can see/think of is Mel who finished in front of me was DNF as where all the cars behind me, so I was in a sea of DNFs. The points would have been a boost for me and the team.
