My Race
Q, P3
R, P4
Started well and followed David and Sean for a bit, their pace was just a bit too quick so by the time we pitted I had fallen back to around 6 or 7 secs behind but I had +13 on P4 so was feeling good
My first pit stop, let me explain
I thought I might be a bit light on fuel so decided to add 5ltrs to my tank at the first stop, something I don't normally do, messing with the pit menu whilst trying to drive, I always find that I loose more time than I can gain due to being distracted from the business of driving, but I was fairly concerned about not having enough fuel so I had to do something
Whilst entering the pit lane I was still pressing stuff trying to get it back around to the confirm pit button, then I looked up and realised I had forgotten to slow down
, I slammed into the back of the Pace Car and went up in the air, landed upside down......wot a plonka. By the time I'd sorted myself out I had dropped well back but I knew I had good speed so I got my head down and set about a recovery drive
I managed to get past all up to Peter who was lapping around about the same pace as me so I finished P4 about 5 or 6 seconds adrift
I enjoyed it immensely but I'm still gutted that I threw away a podium to a stupid error
Grats to David and Sean and all, see you's at Spa
Jim
PS: I finished with 11ltrs of fuel so I didn't need the extra 5 after all
