Qually
Went out early and got a clear run , set a PB which I was happy with and which should have got me 5th , but near the end up popped Cookie who beat my time and dropped me to 6th .
Race 1
Got a good start and managed to pick off a couple before turn 1 , chased the fast guys down to the chicane but I couldn't live with their pace , I had been using marks on the track as braking points but these had disappeared , the track was clean for the race, I was making all sorts of small errors whilst readjusting my braking points and I had Cookie breathing down my neck , I was hoping to get my tyres up to temp before he pounced but failed miserably , I couldn't live with Cookies speed on the straights the Eve was way faster than the Techno so he passed me on the back straight , I stayed with him and decided to try to out brake him for the chicane unfortunately Dave Hart decided to do the same and he gave me a pat on the bum which spun me out , got going again and came across Dave waiting for me (thnx Dave its nice to race with Gentlemen drivers) and we resumed racing , he passed me and slowly pulled away so I decided to try for the undercut , pitstop went ok but didn't work out for me so I finished 5th .
Race 2
Got a good start and made places , surprised to find myself in third for turn 2 so I presumed something must have happened at turn 1 , decided to push hard and gain time if others were having to sort themselves out , managed to out brake Dan for the chicane and could see the leader was driving an Eve so I thought the coming battle was going to slow me , fortunately he threw himself at the scenery and I took the lead , pulled away from Dan which gave me the time to check who was where , I was very surprised to see the fast guys were way behind so decided to keep pushing whilst they sorted themselves out , did my pistop and came out behind an Eve , the guy was lapping quickly so I decided to follow and not get involved in a race , DJ was 20 seconds behind but lapping at a similar pace so I just kept my concentration up and brought the car home , YAY a win .
