My 1st race report! Woohoo!
Well I thoroughly enjoyed this combo, tho i struggled earlier on in the week.
Managed to quali 3rd behind Venca and EasyEd, and ran 3rd for 98% of the race. The car behaved beautifully, and was able to make significant inroads into my pb.
My only real mistake was deciding to pit with 5 mins to go. As Seany says the tyres really came on about half distance, but pitting that late resulted in a change of all 4 tyres and total stationary time of nearly 20 secs. resulting in me rejoining about 2 secs down on Seany. I had slightly better grip but the balance wasn't there with the new cold tyres and with only 2 laps to get past I pushed like hell, but on the last lap I touched the grass on the last 4th gear right hander in sector 2 and got in the barriers. So I limped home with suspension damage.
Congrats to all the finishers especially Venca who drove like a machine setting consecutive fastest sector and laptimes lap after lap.
Well done all.
