I think we're missing Warren for a few races now - he's away on hols for at least 2 weeks, possibly 3.
Quallied 6th I think, but that was probably due to people like Peter and Mark disconnecting. Had a decent start, Amir was off like a flash due to his shorter gearing, but by the time we got round to the long straight I was close enough to get past.
It appears that a pattern seems to be emerging with me too. OK practice, followed by a quali session where I can't get close to my Practice time, followed by a race where I go faster than my Quali time consistently. Nope, no idea. :struggle:
Anyway I was leading for about 5 or so laps Sam caught up and got past, I kept up with him for a while, then he slowly pulled out about a 4 sec lead, Peter was catching up, I had a bit of a moment, and he got past. Probably about right after the pace they were showing in prac & quali.
I then made a big mistake - I saw Amir pull in for his pit, and I decided to stay out for another lap - that was my mistake, my tyres were shot, and as I pushed to give myself a cushion I had a mare on the tight left hander 90 going up the hill, costing me about 15 sec. Had to make my stop then, which threw me & Amir together (actually that might have been a good thing, as it was excellent fun with Amir :good: ) had some real nip and tuck laps, Amir occasionally getting in front out of the slower corners, and me getting it back on the straight - great racing mate
.
I locked going up into the same corner I had my problems with before, I knew Amir was on my inside, so I turned in wide, giving him the room if he carried on with his move, but I saw him slew off - it looked like he got on the loud pedal too early, but seeing what he said above, I guess not.
Sam had his S n G issues leaving me to roll in 2nd behind Peter.
Cracking racing with Sam Peter & Amir - thanks Gents.
I'm not around for next week's CotM event (going away for a golf weekend), but you lot don't need me to run it
.
Good to see a couple of new faces in Mark & Kevin - welcome chaps :good:
