Qually
Had a massive glitch when I went out and had to quit and rejoin , For some reason couldnt break into the 1.40s which I had been doing so had to settle for 4th on the grid .
Race 1
Got a good start and held position , was following DJ and was feeling comfortable with the pace , stayed that way for a few laps then DJ went wide and I got past , stayed this way until pitstop , I hit the button on my wheel but got no response , for some reason all my button settings had changed ,through messing around with this I didnt pay enough attention to pit speed and got a stop/go , left pit and did another lap and went to serve penalty but couldnt call and cancel pit to get pitbox , ended up going through another full pitstop so decided to retire and rest .
Race 2
Started next to last on the grid , made up a couple of places before the chicane and a few more after , over the next couple of laps pulled myself up to leading group behind Ed and DJ who were fighting hard , could see everyone struggling to pass the front runners , Ed made a mistake on the last corner which allowed me to get alongside on the striaght and into the chicane but I couldnt complete the pass , we traded a bit of paint but no harm was done .
I started to think an early pitstop may give me the undercut as I knew I could lap faster than we were going, on the next lap Ed and DJ tangled so I dived for the pit , came back out with a clear track in front so drove every lap like a qually lap, as the race progressed places came to me and I ended up 2nd way behind Dan but just in front of Ramon , my tyres were by this time a little sorry for themselves and I had to drive hard to keep Ramon out of my draft I think by this time I was more a rally driver than race driver as the car was for ever going sideways , Dan pitted and I got 1st which I held to the end , well pleased .
