[Updated] 3 Week Sprint Series - Race 1 - Datsun B110 at Oulton Park Fosters
#6
That was great fun , some very intense and mega close racing , thank God i dont have a pacemaker fitted or i would have overcharged the batteries .
Qually was a good battle with the top six covered by a second and with ED and myself continually swopping places .
Race 1 I fluffed the start as i couldnt see the lights and had to watch and wait for the guy behind to move , covered the inside which allowed me to drop in behind ED , stayed this way for a few laps then ED made a mistake at Druids which allowed me to get a run on him and outbrake him into Lodge , to snatch the lead , by lap 15 my tyres were realy suffering the car was sliding alot , it didnt help that i had mistakenly overfueled by 10litres , so i tried to drive and cool them off but EDs pressure was relentless , the slower laps i was putting in allowed JP to close on ED and take some pressure off me , they eventually swopped places and game me a little breathing space , i then started to do a fast lap and then a slow lap sequence to try and eke out my tyres , phew was i glad to see the flag .
Race 2 the random grid put me on pole again , this time i had assigned a button to look up so i could see the lights and managed to nail the start , but again my mirrors were full of ED , we again stayed this way for a few laps until ED got inside me at Lodge , i gave space but he spun out , i didnt actually notice this and thought he was alongside me in a blind spot , so i went wide into Old Hall and on the grass fully expecting him to get me but i was was surprised to be in the clear , i then went into the slow lap / fast lap routine to manage the tyres this allowed DJ to close up but i had the grip when i needed it and held position .
Understeer - is when you hit the wall with the front of the car
Oversteer - is when you hit the wall with the back of the car
Horsepower - is how fast you hit the wall
Torque - is how far you move the wall when you hit it
