Didnt have a lot of time to develop a setup I was happy with , but on my second run I squeezed a 9.02 out of the car so I was happy with that , on my first run I was behind Andi and managed to take him out when I fell off my chair (sorry Andi) :-[ , does anyone else lean into corners when they drive.
Race 1
I lined up alongside my arch rival Ramon who got a cracking start and got the jump on me and Gorka , I chased the pair of them trying not to take too much out of my tyres , Ramon made a mistake at the Karousel so Gorka had to back off and I passed them both , I knew Gorka was faster than me so when the challenge came I gave him the line so I could concentrate on keeping Ramon behind , after that I just tried to keep the gap between us steady as I knew I would have tyre problems on the last lap , fortunately for me I held position and finished still ahead .
Race 2
Again I lined up alongside Ramon but this time I got a cracking start but sadly got tapped and spun at the first corner , I couldnt move without causing mayhem so had to sit there as the field streamed pass me , got going again in next to last place but started to quickly make up places as other drivers had incidents , couldnt believe it when I saw Ramon in the distance having a battle with Sepp and Dan so I presumed he had had problems which had dropped him back , I know Dan is not the easiest person to pass so I hoped he would hold Ramon up until I got with them , this he duly did (thnx Dan) and I managed to catch them as they entered the main striaght , I then managed a tripple draft to pass them all before the last corner , I pulled a small gap but on the next lap but I could see I was catching one of the MOB guys and at the speed we were going he would probably back me into Ramon as we entered the main striaght , fortunately he decided to throw himself at the scenery and gave me a clear track , last lap I could see Andi ahead and I was catching him quickly and it looked like I had a chance to get him on the main striaght but he did a better job than me entering the striaght and by the time I caught him I knew I wouldnt be able to stop if I tried the pass , my tyres were dead ,so I settled for a very unexpected 5th place .
This was a very enjoyable event despite the problems which Paul got on top of very quickly , great driving all and well done Admin you gave us a great one .
