Went out on low fuel but car did not lap as well as it did in race trim , came in and topped up went back out and claimed 5th spot .
Race 1
Got a great start and made up a place before 1st corner then threw it away at turn 5 when I had a tank slapper , chased after Christof and slowly started to pull him back as his tyres went away , I could see I had him on top end and brakes but he had the better traction out of the corners , he locked up going into last corner and had to go striaght on , I had the speed on the straight so decided to go past , he looked to be conceding the place so I thought we were ok , next minute I was flying through the air and I thought I must have misjudged my position and cut him up so we made contact , I checked the replay and it was a warp , we came along the track alongside each other but with almost a cars width between us , then Christofs car moved sideways into me , he went end over end and landed facing the right way ,i rolled over the barrier to face the wrong way in the pit lane , turned around and rejoined but had lost a place to Cookie , did my pitstop and was again behind Cookie , chased after him but I was overdriving and loosing time on him , I eventually got my act together and closed him down and got my self into position where I should have been able to draft him down the back striaght , sods law I got clutch slip out of he hairpin and couldnt get near him but I still finished a lucky 5th .
Race 2
Got a good start but was boxed in so I had to lift and drop in behind Tim , stayed this way until exit of turn 7 where Tim lit his tyres up and allowed me to pass him into 8 , approaching the hairpin a car flew past just missing me but taking out Cookie who was just in front , I dropped in behind DJ and followed him , managed to avoid an accident when it kicked of on the next lap and found myself in 2nd place behind DJ , I new there was no chance of staying with him so just tried to keep Chris behind me , made a mistake going into turn 3 and Chris got through , chased him but could not get into position for a safe pass , I was fueled for 12 laps so I thought stay with him and try to make position when he pits , unfortunately he also had a lot of fuel when he did pit I couldnt take advantage as I caught traffic, after my stop I was still behind him so elected to grab the points I had and not try any silly moves .
A great nights racing and good fun , Paul, Nikos – Gorka great job thank you - BIG slap to my face how could i forget to thank Bullwinkle for a very fast results service :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[
