Towards the end of the stint I appeared to pull a small gap and I had the feeling DJ was suffering with tyres , although my own tyres were worn the car felt good and my lap times were still dropping . when DJ went to pit I still had 4 laps of fuel (I had messed up on my fuel load) and I could see traffic ahead , I thought there maybe a possibility of taking time out of him , I pushed and got through the traffic and pitted .
I came out 2 secs in front of DJ and decided to push like mad straight off to keep him out of my draft , got a little hairy through the Lesmos on cold tyres but I survived, by the end of the lap DJ had got the gap down to 1.4 but fortunately that's as close as he got .
I think we were both doing qually laps for the next 30 laps , he trying to catch my draft and me trying to keep him out of it , the gap kept opening and closing as we hit traffic. We had one big moment when we came to lap Nikos he lost it and went airborne fortunately we both got through.
On the last lap I decided not to cross the finish line as I didn't want to spoil the championship for those that had competed all season , I had a great and exciting race with DJ and I was happy with that.
I can not add much more to that, looks like you wrote my race report for me
. Very nice drive. 60 laps and both kept 2 seconds most of the way.Nikos, I know you like your flight sims, but what were you doing flying around up in the sky during a league race?
it's a bad time to practice your flight technics. Can you please keep both your hobbies separate from now on please .Another championship win this season for me. Gorka was looking good at the start of the season but with some DNF's from him, and with DC missing most races, it ended up being easy for me in the end.
See you all in the next season.
(in the mean time, don't forget Jon's Tuesday night league)
