Qually
Went out early and set a time I was happy with , I was chasing a slot on the outside row so I had the line into turn 1 , was holding 4th but nervously watching Dan who was threatening my time , fortunately I didnt have to go again .
Race 1
Got a good start and held position through turn 1 , chased DJ down through Cascades but then he started warping so I backed off , the warping disappeared after another lap so started to push , I could see DJ having a fight with Gorka this was allowing me to slowly close up , suddenly on the exit of Druids I saw Gorka on the grass in a deep and meaningfull conversation with the barriers .
I was up to 3rd but now DJ was pulling away , pitstop went OK and the rest of the race was uneventfull so I finished 3rd .
Race2
Got a good start but had Rik breathing down my neck , I in turn was leaning on Dan , this started a good 3 way dice that went on for a couple of laps , I managed to get alongside Dan approaching Knickerbrook but had to back out of it as he had the faster outside line , this allowed Rik to close and he was all over me , he went for the move into Cascades and passed me but then slid wide , this allowed me back under him to get the place back , got a good exit out of Shell and claimed the outside line for Hilltop and Knickerbrook , I got alongside Dan Again and this time I had the faster line so I managed to squeeze past , Rik also got past at some point and going into Cascades I locked a front and went wide , this time Rik went past and made it stick , after that I just kept my nose clean and kept it on the black stuff , another 3rd place WAHOO .
Again these cars showed they are great fun , I think that shows in the attendance .
That was a very enjoyable event and despite the hiccup with the server (well done Paul great recovery) lots of fun , next round cant come soon enough .
Oulton is a bumpy and demanding track where setup is important , from Connors report he struggled to enjoy it , to anyone who is struggling on any future tracks , dont be afraid to ask for a setup , they are not state secrets and for anyone willing to try one of mine they are welcome .
Thanks to Admin for putting on a great event , well done guys .
