Interesting and surprising race
Q, P6
R, P5
I've never had such an up n down race
Start, Away ok but lose a place to Nico R, P7
Lap 5, Vince and Nico R are off the road, up to P5
Lap 9, Peter is off, up to P4
Lap 10, Cramp in left hand, struggling with downshifts
Lap 11, I'm off at Degner 1, still P4
Lap 11, I'm off again at Spoon, Peter n Nico R go through, P6
Here's where it gets interesting,
Pit end of Lap 12, take on fuel and flippin SLICKS! (pit crew picked the wrong set off the rack! numpties!), I rejoin P8 but I'm struggling to stay on the road so I decide to pit again on lap 14 and try to go to the end with a full tank and another set of wets
, rejoin
P15 with 115ltrs in the tank
Lap 16, I'm off the road at T1
ffs
Lap 18, Tito is of at Dunlop, P14
Lap 18, Steeve and Nelson tangle and I'm up to P12
Between laps 21 and 24, Vince, April, Nico N and Valter all pit and I'm up to P8
Lap 25, Kurt is facing the wrong way at the hairpin, up to P7
Lap 26, Reik has stacked it big time at Degner 1 !
up to P6
Lap 27, My wet tyres are shot to bits but I'm not far behind Sean and Bob M, what to do?, I have a huge gap to P7 so I decide to pit for slicks at the end of lap 29, nothing to loose I guess, I rejoin still P6 but some 40 odd secs behind Bob M who is probably struggling on worn wets at this point?
Lap 33, I've reeled him in and pass him to take P5
Grats to Davie, Peter and (who was 3rd?)
See you in? (where's the next race?), I'm of on holiday again next week
, returning late Monday the 20th so I should get an hour or two practice in Tues evening
