Well what a night it was, massive grids, heated opening laps and action aplenty.
Qualifying was a frantic 30 minutes. Trying to get a free piece of track was proving difficult to say the least. I managed a 1:22.5xx on my last lap which place me 9th on the grid. Good result I though given the great standard up front.
Race 1 started with disaster, an unavoidable incident in front of me left me in last place after T1. I really believe the over smoking tyres need to be addressed as there is simply to much of it. I fought hard after that to get back to 8th position late in the race only to have an incident with Everon, 50 50 who's fault but I came off second best and dropped to 10th where I finished.
Race 2 started impressively I thought. All drivers getting through T1 unscathed. Astounding effort. I held position pretty well and had some serious heat behind and in front. I managed to hold off Marcel for a lap and a bit before letting him through and than had to contend with JJ in a battle that last a few laps before we slightly touched on the last turn putting him into the grass... sorry but again nothing really in it. I hung on to 8th with Marcel, Dean Hart and DJC all with in sight.
Race 3 Reverse grid order, great start worked my way up slowly before someone spun in front of me on the fast right hander on the back section of the track. Again the tyre smoke made in hard to see, I had no idea where to go and just clipped the back of someone. This sent me flying over the fence and off the track. I followed the tree's around to where the spectators sit with their sun shades, than drove through about 6 old London buses and a handful of American school buses before falling into a hole that went to oblivion. Race over, disappointed not to finish.
It was great nights racing. SR4L can be proud of the way they conducted themselves, I know I am. Well done guys.
