Race 1
Started from 5th held position on start and managed to stay on the tail of DJC for a couple of laps but the top group started to drop me as I couldn’t match their pace , Everon slowly reeled me in and pressured me into a mistake and got the pass , we battled all race long and then it appeared that I was losing front end grip , the car just wouldn’t turn in and he managed to pull clear 2 laps from the finish .
Race 2
Started 6th , made a good start and held position was holding my own again with the top group until Gorka spun at turn 5 and I could not avoid him and hit him nose to nose , fortunately no damage done to me, but lost a couple of places , tried hard to get back to speed , but too hard , I was over driving which ended up with me throwing myself at the wall in turn 3 , fortunately I didn’t hit it , a quick slap on the wrist and swallow another handfull of valium and back to racing, slowly worked my way back to where I started 6th
Race 3
Made a good start and came out of turn 1 in 2nd , stayed on the tail of the guy in front until he went wide on last turn and slipped through , joy o joy I was in first place and clear , it stayed that way for another couple of laps but Nik loomed large in my mirrors which I spent too much time looking at and promptly spun myself out onto the grass at turn 6 , lost a shed load of places , got going again and started to move up when Everon arrived on my tail , he definitely had a better setup than me and was using it well , he was all over me for a couple of laps but I was managing to hold him , then at turn 6 he inadvertently tapped us both into a spin , we both got going again but on the next lap he was back and tight on my tail along the back straight , I knew he was going to try at the last corner so I decided to brake very late to encourage him to take too much speed , this he duly did and went very wide so I slipped back under him and got the place back , last lap and we were in the same situation , I tried the same manouver and again he went wide and the hole opened for me , I charged into it but Everon had gathered it together and the hole was closing fast , I braked as hard as I dared but ended up tapping his rear and putting him into a half spin , so I stopped and let him recover and followed him home it was his corner and he deserved the place , great racing Everon I enjoyed that.
Big thanks to Dany for all the effort in running this meeting and thanks to all for good racing
