Qually
I was too eager to get onto a clear track so got myself a stop and go , this messed up my laps , eventually got a couple of runs in clean air but I was not good enough to beat DJ or Dan , Damn!pressure was on to get a good start .
Race
If I was going to do anything with this race I knew I had to do it quick before folks got heat into their tyres , my car was good on cold tyres so I had to make this pay .
The start was pretty much even for all but on the change to second I pulled up on Dan and tried to go under him and make him push DJ wide , I was so focused on him and DJ I forgot that Keeper is also a fast starter and I unfairly squeezed him when I moved over , we had light contact but fortunately no damage was done , Sorry Ron thats not my normal driving style
Managed to gain 2nd place behind Dan and got up close and personal through Casino , this allowed me a good run down to Mirabeau where I got alongside and outbraked Dan to snatch first place , I then pushed like mad to get a gap so Dans power advantage wouldnt come into play on the faster parts of the circuit , I managed to hold the lead as Dan and Dj battled for position and as the heat came into the tyres I was away , after that apart from a half spin at Massenet it was uneventfull , the biggest challenge was trying to keep my concentration levels up and not daydream .
