Anybody want to talk about the race we had yesterday?
I had ups and downs, qualified 12th with last minute flat shifting on the straights, I beat my pb. I had a bad start, GIJOE passed me on the first lap, then on second ant was in my rearview mirror
Hopefully, I didn't make a hash of it, played it safe and let him pass. On 3rd lap, he lost a bit of time then I caught him, passed him and I was just behind GIJOE. Then he broke earlier than I expected, I slammed the brakes and went wide which caused ant to get the inside line and fly past me. Zeugy by the way, used this opportunity wery well and with the help of the slipstream of ant, we were 3 wide on the start finish straight (which zeugy thinks we made a perfect sandwich
). Then I eased off a bit, let them past me and then caught zeugy again. I think in lap 5 I lost my concentration and lost it on the second turn, which helped who cares and hising to catch up. They were going well and I had quite a lot of dirt in my tyres, so the car was sliding like hell for the 5 corners, and trying to defend my position I made some mad but safe (!) moves to prevent them passing me, then on the backstraight, hising went past me, then I caught him in the slipstream and I tried to outbrake him but just inside the corner the car understeered and tapped hisling, and I backed off to let hising and who cares past me.
Then I started to feel real tired, haven't been in a close up race like this since january. I again made a couple of small and not much terrible mistakes, and on the second to last lap, I saw sparkydave in my mirror. I tried to hold him back, but he was so eager to pass I let him go in the slow chicane. I could slam the door as he couldn't outbrake me but I tought if I didn't let him pass, he would use the slipstream on the straight and pass me again so I thought "just let him pass, then you can gain your position back in the straight yourself". But it didn't go well, I ran too wide and he put a long gap so I finished 16th.
That was one good race, even I lost 4 places at the end I'm not sad
