Well I, for one, thought that was a cracking change!
R1 went well - trading places with Ed at the front and pretty much lucking in to being ahead at the final turn.
R2 was harder work + but a couple of crashes saw me climb the grid.
I filled my tank for the start (as did Jonathan) and kept going beyond half distance. I thought I had enough to do 17 laps but ran out on the in lap and coasted into the pits. The concentration required to actually stop in the box with no fuel resulted in a speeding penalty. Plus I had to restart the engine. Then I spun on my out lap (I tried to change the two right tires but think I only did the FR + so the RR was worn). Did the stop to, dropped to 8th, was catching John Cook and tried to take him on the outside but we touched, ended up in the wall with John on his side. I waited for the car to be righted but John eventually quit so I carried on. Apologies, John, if that was my fault rather than an incident - haven’t looked back at it yet.
good stuff anyway. A nice change.
