1976 F1 Season - Round 3 USA Long Beach REPORTS
#10
My first points finish and first points for Team Shunt. Missed qually, but probably would have been at back still. Managed to miss melee at turn one, but span on last turn, touching wall but no damage. Trouble was I was stuck to the wall, by the time I freed the car the leaders where lapping me, I got hit and this stalled the engine, meaning I couldn't drive out of the way, meaning I got hit again and had to start engine a few times. Afterwards the steering wheel was wonky so pitted and got it fixed. Running a few seconds (quite a few) of pace (me not the car) I was lapped a few times but managed to keep out of the way, so finished without any more incidents. Was quite interesting seeing wheels and bits of car littering the track. Gradually I crept up the field as others had to retire.

Note to self, don't try to win, just concentrate on completing clean laps.
