Hi Folks
Here is the in car video from my race last weekend. As some are aware, Andy Walsh did race 1, and I did race 2. As the grid for race 2 is the finishing positions from race 1, and I hadn't completed race 1, I started from the back of the grid, in 15th place. This suited me well as there is less pressure, so I felt a lot more relaxed than I normally do on a grid start!
I really enjoyed this race, battling with Russ and Hazy mainly with some nice close racing. I do notice from the video that when under pressure (e.g. from Russ) my lines seem to goto pot, meaning my exit speed is crap allowing people past. I must work on that!!
Apologies in advance for the hand gestures towards Hazy, at the time I felt he was closing the door meaning I either lifted, or clipped his rear quarter as he drifted into my path closing the door, and as I didn't want a repeat of what Nick Foster did to me in race 3 at Snett (car goes sideways) I didn't fancy sending Adam into a spin into the pit wall!!! Maybe I judged it wrong, I'm not sure, but that was what was going through my head so I backed off. I need to learn to stop being nice to mates on the track!!! :hahaha:
A cheeky last minute overtake on the last lap gave me 3rd in class, 6th overall, which should have really been Russ's place, but I was taking advantage of Russ's red mist with Thorney :whistle:
The most enjoyable race I've had since the beginning of the CSL Cup, with some close racing. Great fun though!!
