Races of many mistakes for me
First race quali'd near the back. First turn I thought we were on the M25, think I was actually stopped for a second, but came out of it ok (considering the rest of it all :wink2
. A few turns later Danny unfortunately lost it under braking further behind me and gave me a shunt. Didn't know what had happened at the time, but thankyou for waiting even though it put you right at the back
. Shame you lost it again as we seemed to be doing quite similar lap times. Spent most of the race at the back until I unexpectedly found Ries and Gary coming out of the pits next to me. This was short-lived as after Ries passed me he lost it a couple of turns later, ended up sideways and we had a small collision. Made no real difference to my race though
. Finished at the back...
Second race quali'd 18th.
I think me and dave (in front of me) both started very carefully on the outside turn and ended up in the last two positions, me much further because I came out pretty slowly. Was then rather surprised to find the mix of people joining us at the back following an incident...
I found myself ahead of people I was expecting to be at the front, but was promptly passed again when I accelerated too hard into the wibbly bit behind MH and had to move over to avoid crunch time. :shock:, at which point everyone slipped back past again.
For a while I followed the pack until Dave took a little time out from the track and in my attempt to avoid those in front of me I over-braked and span off the track! No-one's fault but my own though.
Sooner or later I came accross the Herrmannator who was sliding about in the BMS (finally a car combo I can keep up in
), and followed until he made a mistake, then after a while I found Matt P and Neil close on each other and spent some more time following around. Sorry for the couple of taps I gave you Matt. This was the best bit of the race for me even though it was for 19th/20th/21st. At one point I was in front of both of them after they ended up waiting for each other, but I quickly decided that I hadn't been giving enough of my attention to the grass and came off, letting them both back past.
Suddenly I realised I was being lapped when I got a light tap and then a blue flag! didn't realise how far we had got behind in that time. As we got seperated, I decided to pit then and hoped to catch up with the other two later on. Fatal mistake was only changing the front two tyres as it became oversteer city as soon as I left. Spun a few times and decided to make another pit to change the rears.
Sorry if I got in the way of anyone lapping me - there were a lot of people lapping :wink2: I'm sure I must have seen the same people lapping me about 5 times :bulgy-eyes:
Finished 2 laps down in last (22nd)
Thanks for organising. I enjoyed most of it despite failing humungously
