Had fun last night, first time I'd driven the cars in any sort of anger coming in 20 minutes before practice but they were pretty easy to adapt to, if not squeeze the extra half a second from.
Qualied on pole with a tow from Nige for the first race, could have possibly been a 16, but 17.4 in the end.
In the race I got a good start, but the normal advantage of leading out of T3 does not work here
. Back to 5th. Then coming up the hill at the boot I get loose on the outside of Nige and dropped back to around 9th. Was fighting with Bob and Robert on lap 2 or 3? and I got a big twitch on in T4, having not experienced it befoer I simply span like a noob. All I could do was stop the car and hope no-one hit me, but Dmytro was unlucky and collected me, involving 4 other cars also. I almost forgot to press ESC, being agog at the carnage. Race over.
Qualified 5th for R2 with a scruffy lap but not bothered, top 6 is fine with these.
True to what I thought I was in the lead by T4 as it was four wide ahead and I was spoilt for choice, plus Evan and Ross got a little contact. I led actually by myself until around lap 6 as they squabbled behind. First Erik then Evan had a go. Erik span out, Evan got past a couple of times and Bob M caught up to add in the mix.
In the final lap I knew where I needed to defend and I only had to defend in one of the two corners, as Evan got out shape in the downhill hairpin, and I took the win.
