Race 1
had a good start and chased DJ into first corner , he locked his brakes and slid out wide so I said thanks very much and dived underneath him , we stayed this way for a few laps but I could see DJ was far better on the brakes than me(i have got to work on that) and was reeling me in , he caught me at the end of the main straight and passed under braking , I couldnt match his pace so he slowly pulled away from me ,
Pitstop time came and I was way too aggressive on the approach , I lost the backend on the turn in to pit lane , I caught the slide but collected the outside wall and missed the pit entry , had to do another lap with a damaged car , that cost me 2nd and gave me a 90s stop , came out 9th and managed to move up to 6th by race finish .
Race2
Got a great start and passed 3 cars before first corner then passed Tim into 2 and that got me the lead , I thought I would push to see if I could get a good gap before DJ picked his way through the traffic , unfortunately all I did was overdrive and wear my tyres more quickly , after a few laps DJ arrived on my tail , so decided to pit and get fresh rubber , Dj did the same .
Came out of the pits and I managed to hold him off for a couple of laps but he got me into 6 , after that I followed him home .
Great racing all and good fun .
It was a very nice touch to see everyone take part in the formation lap in rememberance of Manny , if he was watching I hope he enjoyed the racing .
