Love this track. It's unforgiven but, high price to pay for the smallest mistake.
I knew I just had to avoid them dreaded DNF in both races and I would be champ. High pressure with a track like this.
Race 1
Started in 4th place, had a good battle with Hector. He was slow to begin with, I had a few goes at getting passed him, but failed. Had to be over careful so did not rick my championship anymore and just concentrate on finishing.
Later gained a place with Marcels mistake ;D, then with 1 lap to go, could not believe it, found Hector recovering from a mistake too and I overtook him putting me into 2nd. That would give me the championship just there. But with 1 corner to go, Hector manages to get that place back, so I finished the race in a very nice 3rd.
People were already congratulating me as Champ, but it was still possible for Rik to still win. If I got a DNF and if Rik was to win race, then he would be champ by 2 points.
Race 2
Reverse grid, just have to finish. Race started and out of no where Mels car appears right in front of me, out of sync or something? or lagging? Lucky for me I drive right through him as if he was a ghost, phew. Unlucky for all behind me Mels car much have become solid as I passed and all manor of crashes were going on in my mirrors.
Lap later saw the Marcel and John crash. Hector and I just managed to stop our cars in time to avoid them. Looked my position, 1st place, wow. Could this be my 1st win this season? Leading the championship and still no win. I just had to fend off Hector who was on my tail. Then bad luck, I could not slow my car down enough for a corner and hit a fence, damaging my car. I could still drive it but just had to watch Hector nick off with the win. Luckily everyone else (apart from Hector) all had damage too, so I finished race in a great 2nd place
.
Thanks all for all the congrads.
CU on track soon.
