The Macs were well outclassed here , no way could they live with the Brabhams pace and they could barely stay with the March , it was a case of having to drive on the edge to be competitive , this cost me dearly.
Qually
I had never got out of the 13s here so was not expecting much , managed to scrape 9th alongside Ron in another Mac .
Race
Got a good start but had to lift as someone went off in front of me , got into a nice rhythm and a few laps later found myself catching JP , started to push but ended up spinning at the hairpin , fortunately no damage , got going and that was the story of my race everytime I caught someone I ended up spinning out through overheating the rears , 4 more times I spun but each time I didnt hit anything , Cookie whom I tried to pass must have been laughing his socks off as I spun 3 times getting past him . Towards the end of the race I thought I had cocked up my fuel so I went into fuel save mode and this allowed Ron to catch me up but 2 laps to go I knew I was OK so upped my pace and scraped a lucky 6th place
